Very impressed!

A friend referred me to Mr. Johnson. I am so glad he did. Through the whole process I was kept well informed and everything went exactly as I was told it would. The final amount was more than I had hoped for. Although we settled, I feel confident that had it gone to court, Mr Johnson would have repre...sented me well. I have, and will continue to recommend him to everyone I know.

5-Star Attorney, Happy Client

Dan Johnson exceeded my expectations in every way, and my case was settled out of court to my great desire and benefit. The highest praise I can offer is the fact that I've referred three other friends to him.

Review of Attorney Dan F. Johnson

My case was handled with professionalism, excellent judgment by Mr. Johnson in all matters, and with appropriate discretion. When I erred in one important aspect of the case, he was able to correct my error before it became an issue and during discovery, he really caught the defendant in conflicting... testimony which sealed a victory in the case. He was able to reach and excellent settlement without having to resort to a court appearance and I would, without question, retain his services in any future legal matter in which I should become involved.

Expieienced Trial Attorney

Daniel Johnson became my Attorney over 5 years ago, when no other attorney would step up and take my case. He took the time and listened to me, which is far more then the handful of others I had tried to hire before him ever bothered to do. In a case that was basically David versus Goliath, Dan stood... by my side, set back after set back keeping me up to date with all information, always trusting in me, and I appreciated his straight shooter approach. He gave me all information good and bad, so I knew my options and he respected my decisions. We endured 2 trials together and were victorious in both. I have a very high respect for Dan as a Trial Attorney and for the Integrity he has shown. He never once lowered his Moral Compass as I observed the opposing legal team do consistently during all these years. It is because of this, I can highly recommend Daniel Johnson, I know first hand he will do what is right for his clients and the best job possible!

Class action lawyer | Sep 09

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I litigate against Dan frequently in class action litigation. Dan is extremely bright, an exceptional writer and oral advocate, and willing to go the distance for his clients. In fact, I know of at least one recent case that he took to trial twice (five years apart), and he obtained a major award for his client. Let me put it this way: if I needed a Plaintiff's lawyer, I'd call Dan."

His experience in all sorts of litigation, but especially employment matters, gives him valuable perspective and a strategic edge.
