Incompetent in my opinioon

Incompetent lawyer who is unpleasant, overly agressive, is only concerend about how much she is going to make and bills, bills, and bills. Stay away. Read all the negative reviews. Thank God she is retiring and the bar is well served by having her gone.

Posted by Rijn | August 02, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Lost custody, paid a large amount of money, came unprepared, sued my mother for unpaid fees, lost to mother who was pro se.

My experience with Mary Johnson was not positive. She took my case very lightly because she expressed it was a an easy case. She was unprepared and I lost custody of my children four months after two custody evaluations came back stating that I should receive custody. Since the loss in custody my ...children have been subjected to unspeakable situations. Mary Johnson then continued to rack up attorney fees without consent from myself. It has been roughly two years but my belief is that the total cost of my three to four hour custody hearing was around 7k while the opposing attorney's bills were around 3k and they performed more work and clearly out performed my attorney. In addition Mary Johnson proceeded to rack up additional fees for other cases involving her own firms mistake within my dealings with her where she lost and then tried to make me responsible for her time. I refused to pay the fees and she went after my elderly mother who was kind enough to co-sign on the contract for payment. My mother represented herself because she did not have the money to pay for another attorney again. Once again, Mary Johnson lost and had to reimburse 2k of the original charges. I would not recommend this attorney for any issue. I have learned a lot from this ordeal but not from positive experiences.

Land use, prescriptive easement claim

I cant possibly thank Mary and her team enough for all the effort and knowledge put into defending my property. This case took over 10 months to victoriously resolve in my favor. The law around PRESCRIPTIVE EASEMENT is very complex. Mary did everything she said she would accomplish and more since tak...ing the case, she is likely the most experienced land use lawyer I have ever worked with. She not only loves what she does but she really cares for her client. I found that Mary is very fair and does not run up fees, shows concern for her clients wallet. It's my feeling she put a lot more hours into the case than she charged. I not only trust, but HIGHLY recommend Mary Johnson

Mary was AMAZING

I hired Mary to represent me for a complaint against my RN license. Such a time was extremely difficult for me, pehaps the worst time of my life. Mary and her staff, Deborah, were encouraging, straight forward and comforting. They advised me how to proceed and assisted me at every step. I beli...eve that I had the best representation possibile and would definitely return to her for help and advise should any legal matter come into my life again. The final outcome was a dismissal of my case, with no discipline. Noone should have to go through such an experience alone and I am so happy to have found Mary Johnson. I very highly recommend her.

Great Job!!

I enlisted Mary Johnson's services after being asked to appear before the OSBN. Mary was respectful, knowledgeable, professional, and efficient throughout the entire process. She prepared me mentally and professionally and then accompanied me before the Board Investigator. I attribute the positive... outcome to my situation to her guidance. Thank you, Mary, for helping me through a difficult time and thanks to your staff for their courtesy and empathy.
