I had a great experience getting help from the Johanson Law group. Thank you Jim Johanson for your professional advice and caring. I have been to this office in the past too and always feel comfortable there and I know I will be taken care of. Nick also did a great job communicating with me.
Jim helped us straighten out an issue with our HOA. We were referred through a company EAP. We connected with Nick his paralegal who was kind, clear and understanding of our situation and did his best to get us on Jim’s scheduled first thing after a holiday weekend.
Jim is an honest clear communicator who has a knack for helping a non legal person understand exactly what is going on with this case.
Jim isn’t afraid to stand up for his clients but does a good job of balancing being amiable with opposing counsel and not letting his client get walked on.
I sincerely hope we never need Jim’s services again, but if I did I would be a repeat client.

Excellent Results
Mr. Johanson is a consummate legal professional. I have known Jim for more than ten years.
I have retained him on multiple occasions and he definitely gets quality results. One of the many reasons I continue to utilize Jim is that he has a depth and breadth of experience few attorneys possess – he was a former Prosecutor and also a member of the Washington State Legislature.
Jim and his team work hard to provide top-tier quality legal services and strategies. He does his homework and ensures that his legal strategy is supported by case law and practical wisdom.
Excellent legal representation is worth its weight in gold. I have a J.D. myself and I trust my legal needs to Jim. His personalized touch is excellent.
Jim is definitely in a category of five-star service. I feel 100% confident in referring family and friends to him should the need arise.
Sincerely,
J.D.

Very good attorney
I got into a big case where it was going to ruin my life, my previous attorney wouldnt answer my phone calls and was very shady. I hired jim and his staff and in 2 to 3 months case was dismissed. Him, his assistant, and his staff always do their homework. Answered every single call I gave them. Interveiwed everyone that was at the scene. Very professional.

Excellent Attorney
Jim helped me when I found myself in the unfortunate position of being arrested. I had got a public pretender at first, but found out about Jim through a friend. Jim was able to get the criminal charges dismissed completley and I got to move on with my life.
