-Professional Friendly Lawyer who works hard for You!

I hired Marc after I was hit by a car while out walking my dog. I had serious injuries and Marc came to see me after I called him for an initial consultation. He laid out what to expect with a case like mine and answered all my questions. I had a last minute summons arrive on a Friday to appear in... court the following Monday to possibly testify against the person who hit me. I was a little freaked out about going into Court by myself and so I left a message for Marc. He checked his messages over the weekend and got back to me and said he would meet me at court. I was so relieved and he was a great support while there and put my mind at ease. As the case progressed, his assistant Karen Blok was a great help and kept me posted on any updates and things they needed to keep the case moving along. I eventually received a fair settlement but had a lien from my health insurance co. on some of the money. Marc was able to get the health insurance company to walk away from their claim and maximized my settlement money. I am so thankful to have Marc as my attorney and will continue to use his services for anything I have come up in the future. He has a great professional and friendly manner that made the process pain free and ultimately successful in getting a quick and substantial settlement. I recommend Marc without hesitation to anyone who needs a good lawyer that will work hard for you.

Knowledgeable and caring

We sought out Marc Johnston when our insurance company unfairly refused to pay a large insurance claim. This expense was going to be a hardship for our family. Marc was confident, knowledgeable and timely in helping us prepare and send in various letters and documents proving the legitimacy of our ...claim. The end result was that the insurance company paid their fair share of the bill in full. We wouldn't have known the exact way in which to proceed in order to get results without his caring and expertise.

A Skillful and Dedicated Attorney who Genuinely Cares

We hired Marc upon learning that our insurance company had denied payment for prescribed medicine relative to my wife's very significant auto immune disease. The bill was for well over $60,000. We were both shocked and devastated upon learning that our insurance company had denied payment. This co...uld have meant postponing retirement and other related problems. Marc gave us hope from the first time we spoke with him. Marc and his team conducted thorough research and interviews, kept us informed throughout the process, charged very reasonable rates, and submitted an excellent appeal package to the proper authorities in support of our claim. This package was comprehensive, logical, convincing and extremely professional in appearance. When Marc learned that we had prevailed, he telephoned us with joy in his voice like that of a kid at his first major league baseball game, whose favorite player had just autographed a baseball. We are truly grateful to Marc and his legal team. They are dedicated professionals and they are winners!

How to Resolve Being Struck by an Uninsured Motorist

This past summer I was struck by a vehicle while riding my bicycle. I had heard that these situations can be time consuming, frustrating and potentially very expensive so I decided it would be best to hire an attorney. I came across Marc Johnston on-line and gave him a call to explain my situation a...nd maybe get some feedback. I immediately found him to be extremely personable, genuinely concerned with my situation and knowledgeable in regards to all the variables we would need to take into consideration. After he agreed to take my case, progress was swift. In no time he had discovered the gentleman who hit me was actually uninsured and immediately took appropriate action in regards to dealing with my own insurance company. Every step of the way he was clear in explaining what the best course of action would be and WHY. Marc and his paralegal Karen answered every one of my phone calls. They dealt with my insurance company and the various medical providers I saw directly and ultimately had my bills reduced by approximately 75% across the board. All in all the result was exceptional. This accident was unfortunate, physically painful and has sidelined me for the better part of the year. It prompted my relocation and possible career change. It has been a long year to say the least. However, from the very first phone call up until the resolution of my case The Johnston Law Firm has been nothing but a pleasure to work with. They are friendly, always professional, and I could not be happier with the work both Marc and Karen have done on my behalf.

Exceeded Expectations in Representation on Motor Vehicle Collision

Marc represented me on a car accident. The guy who hit me was uninsured, so we were dealing with my own insurance company. Their settlement offer was insulting. Marc stuck with it and prepared to file a lawsuit. They ended up more than quadrupling their offer. Even after fees, I got way more mon...ey than I expected. Marc did a great job - not only on handling my case - but where it counts most - getting a good result!
