Mother home keeper

This lawyer right here is a very smart individual also knows his stuff. It may seem at times that he's upset or frustrated well that's because he is newsela he knows the ins and outs of the law in the ins and outs of Bellingham this man saved me my life he might be a little spender than most but he i...s definitely worth it I was looking at 5 years in prison and I hired him and he worked it out for me to wear I didn't have to do any jail time I recommend him to anyone who is sincerely trying to beat their case.

The best attorney I have ever met

Bill Johnston represented me in a court case a couple years ago. The case went to the wa state supreme court 3 times. he won my case for me. Bill is a go getter and never gives up on his clients. My name is lorretta eriksen. you can look this up and actually see him in the WA state supreme court. I o...we my life to him! Thank you Bill for everything.

Bill Johnston saved me

I was looking at 12-20 months on a drug charge. Without Bill I would have plead down to a year and a day and would have gone to prison for 8 months with good time. After retaining Bill he did everything in his power to get my charge reduced. Because of Bill I was able to get my case continued and fin...ish an entire year of college before completing my sentence. After nine months of letting the case resolve itself I was given the plea bargain opportunity to plead down to a gross misdemeanor and only receive 60 days of work release. I recommend Bill Johnston as an attorney for anyone charged with drug crimes or anything for that matter. He is a great attorney, a great guy, and a good friend.
