Counsel for False Sex Abuse Allegations

Jim was recommended to us by our estate attorney. Out of the blue we were falsely accused of sexually abusing our grandchildren by their mother as her and our son were in the middle of a high conflict divorce. This was something so foreign and scary. I called the office anfter a search warrant was se...rved and left a message. I promptly received a call back from the office to set up a consultation. Jim guided us through everything when interacting with law enforcement, CPS and our sons counsel. Ultimately the allegations were found to be false and CPS claims unfounded. We would recommend Jim to be on your side if you are ever faced with a crisis similar to this.

Great experience and very satisfied with results in my case!

Jim Johanson Law Group I have nothing but good things to say about this law group! My case went on for two plus years, few court hearings and few continuances. Jim worked hard throughout the time between the initial consultation to the disposition and final hearing. His team communicated well with me... and respected that I wanted to have my dad involved just as much as myself in the whole legal process. Jim Johanson heavily negotiated on my behalf and the results were great and I am very satisfied with the results. Thank you Jim Johanson Law group, I recommend Jim Johanson for all your legal needs he did not disappoint.

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 Johanson - HOA attorney support

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 communi...cator 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.
