Excellent Family Law Attorney

Andy and his team provided me with excellent representation in a custody matter. Andy is smart, hard-working, and honest. I would recommend Andy to anyone looking for a family law attorney.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Feb 27

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I am not a family law attorney -- my area of expertise is criminal law. Over the last few years, I have worked with Andy Johnson on several complex/complicated family law cases that included criminal law matters like contempt of court, violation of court order including restraining order, allegations of domestic violence, and child abuse. Andy has been excellent to work with -- he is bright, experienced and aggressive. I recommend Andy Johnson highly. Raymond G. Gomez"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
