Thorough

I felt that Mary and her staff did a thorough job with my licensing issue. She made sure all of the I's were dotted, the T'swere crossed and ducks were in rows. She communicated well, but occasionally needed prompting. It ended up taking quite a bit longer than expectd, but I feel that her organiz...ation contributed directly to the successful outcome.

Shyster

Going to pick up a lien release from her office that she filed on my property in 2008. I had no idea she filed it. After discussing a squabble I was having with a neighbor over the use of my property for access to multiple dwellings being developed, I was assured from her that the neighbor's lawyer... did not understand property law and we had a slam dunk. $30,000+ and months later she gave me a bill for $8500 for the past month and informed me "our" case was in trouble. I had to hire another attorney to bail me out. She was paid in full anyway in a timely manner after letting her go. Upon trying to get a home equity loan, finding out about the lien, calling and asking her to file a release, I was informed that I would have to go to her office, get the signed release and file it myself. Do not consider her for your attorney.

BAD, STAY AWAY

Bad Lawyer, STAY AWAY Was falsely accused during a licensing investigation, hired Mary to help and then found all of the negative reviews. During her time she was dishonest, provoked the investigation, and was unable to obtain any of the goals I had for my case. She was shifty with her billing... and lazy with filing the appropriate forms for my case. After firing her I independently negotiate the original outcome I was looking for.

Stay away from Mary W Johnson

We hired Mary while I was deployed to Iraq. It was a family law case involving my wife and ex husband. It's was supposed to be a simple modification to a parenting plan. Mary dragged out our case, milking us for every penny we had. She ignored our request in how to proceed or to limit communication w...ith the other party who was representing himself, thus charging is for every single excessive communication with him. We ended up with a bill of over 20,000 to Mary. After speaking with other attorneys they were floored at the amount we were paying and none had ever seen a case like our cost so much. After a review of our bill, we were advised that she charged us way to much, and spent excessive time on emails, phone calls and paperwork that should not have taken the amount of time she spent on them. Please consider any other attorney!
