Patient....but PERSISTENT

Johnathan represented me in what began as a fairly straightforward personal injury claim (Vehicle accident related). It quickly became much more complex...particularly AFTER settlement with two different insurance carriers. The very DAY AFTER settlement was the day the medical services provider chose... to file liens....even though were were two years post incident, and 18 months post medical care related to the crash. I was angry. Jonathan worked long and hard, and refused to knuckle under, even when I became discouraged and was contemplating just giving in, taking MUCH less settlement money than I had settled with. In the end...Jonathan was right, and I ended up with most of the settlement secured from the insurance carriers. He is calm, pragmatic and professional, and will serve your interests with integrity, honesty and humor. I highly recommend Jonathan H. Johnson

Jonathan H. Johnson, Brilliant Attorney That Cares!

My life partner was hit by a woman driving a car in September 2015. My partner was on a motorcycle and had just pulled out of our apartment complex. The woman hit her in front of our apartment complex office. Our maintenance man witnessed the accident (and many others) and called 9-1-1 right away. My... life partner had to be rushed into emergency surgery that day to repair her nearly severed and crushed ankle and lower leg. We immediately had issues with our insurance company. We found out the woman who hit my life partner had the same insurance carrier that we did. They assigned us to the SAME adjuster to handle the accident claim and our motorcycle claim. CONFLICT OF INTEREST. Our best friend told us about her amazing attorney that helped her when she was hit by a car the year before and had to have surgery because of the injury. That amazing attorney is Jonathan H Johnson. I spoke with Jonathan right away. My life partner was on strict pain management and bedridden. We had to have hospital equipment moved into our home just for my partner to function. She was also scheduled for her 2nd surgery to see if the surgeon could possibly repair her ankle and lower leg, the very next day. When I told this to Jonathan, he didn't hesitate to drive to our home, 20 miles away, during rush hour traffic to talk to us. He understood the immense pain my partner was in and how busy I was trying to take care of her and work 60 hours a week to try to make ends meet because when my partner was hit by that car, that stopped her income. She's employed still, just not able to work, so no income. Jonathan walked us through her rights and explained the potential outcomes. Realistic outcomes. He didn't pressure us AT ALL to select him as our attorney. That just made us want to hire him more. He was honest and upfront about the fees and costs associated. No hidden agenda. Just facts and he really seemed to care. My life partner went into surgery the next day. It took her amazing surgeon 10 hours. she would be bedridden for a few months at least. The pain management costs were adding up because her insurance would only cover so much. The rest came out of pocket. Money we didn't have since the loss of her income. Jonathan helped us with the insurance company, the doctor and even found us lower cost pharmacies and prescription help! Jonathan went over and beyond to help us on things he didn't have to. Jonathan always asked how Jennifer was doing and stayed in consistent contact with us as he sifted through doctor bills and insurance claim adjusters and the list goes on! Jonathan worked with other attorneys to get the best information to ensure that my life partner and I wouldn't be left trying to pay for bills we couldn't afford and making sure she would still be provided care ongoing. There is so much more to this, but not enough space. Just know, if you want a real, down to earth, kind, SMART, attorney that truly listens and will go over and beyond to help you, then Jonathan H Johnson is the attorney for you! Jonathan is truly AMAZING! This comes from 3 of us!
