T.C. Johnston is a civil litigation attorney based in San Diego with a practice emphasizing Internet and technology, business litigation and consulting, intellectual property, and corporate law and formation.

Virtually or in person, this is the office to turn to if you are a businessperson needing legal help with Internet and technology issues such as: cybersquatting and typosquatting; pay-per-click advertising (PPC/CPC); click fraud; search engine optimization (SEO); trademark and service mark disputes; domain name disputes; general cyberlaw; the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA); Internet piracy; the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA); licensing, contracts and EULAs; and all the other issues arising in this wild new cyber world.

Please note that I despise Avvo and its entire involuntary-participation ratings-based concept.  They create the page for you whether you like it or not, so you are essentially obliged to fill in information on your involuntary profile, and get penalized if you don't add the information they like, or that you are not willing to share (like a list of clients, cases, etc.).

My lowest rating criterion on Avvo is for "Industry Recognition."   That's because I spend my time working cases for my clients, not currying favor among my peers or chasing the spotlight.  And for that, Avvo penalizes me. 

If I could delete my profile from , I would.
