Gaurdianship Help

As our disabled daughter's 18 birthday drew nearer, we knew we needed to get help with gaurdianship . It was a confusing, and overwhelming time for my husband and I. From our first consultation, Mr. Johnson completely allayed our worries! He was genuinely concerned for our family, and displayed warmt...h and understanding, adjusting everything to fit our needs. His competence, and professionality exceeded our expectations, and made a difficult situation easy to bear. We would highly recommend him to anyone in our situation!

Don Johnson

My husband and I were recommended to see Don for assistance with the issue of Probate resulting from the death of our son. I found Don to be knowledgeable, informative, and compassionate. He was very helpful and I would recommend his services to anyone who was in need.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
