Smart. Friendly. Helpful. A business attorney to help you build your business.

I worked with Brooke to form my company. She was a pleasure to work with and one of the things I liked best was how she explained my different options to me. Once we had settled on what I wanted to do, she took care of all of the filing and created my business properly. I'm reassured that my business... has a sound footing and that my operating agreement is correct. I look forward to working with her on additional business and contract needs that I'll have.

Thorough and attentive

Ms. Johnson helped me when I had a dispute with my literary agent. I felt I could no longer effectively communicate with her so she stepped in and helped out. Ms. Johnson reviewed my contract, clearly pointed out its inconsistencies and what we could do to come to a resolution. She answered emails... and phone calls promptly. She answered my questions and concerns so I understood clearly what was happening. She kept me abreast of her conversations with my agent, so I always felt in the loop. We came to a resolution as quickly as possible. I highly recommend Ms. Johnson for help with contracts and intellectual property.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have consulted with Brooke Johnson on a number of complex tax and intellectual property issues important to my clients. Ms. Johnson was always well informed and efficient, and I felt at all times that my clients' interests were in excellent hands."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Brooke literally wrote the book on Washington business law. That's not a misuse of the word literally. The Washington Practice volume that she authors is actually called "Washington Business Law." When my clients' cases involve business structuring, tax consequences, intellectual property, or complex transactions, Brooke is always on my short list of people to call. We have worked on several matters together and I am continually amazed at just how much Brooke knows off the top of her head. I refer my own friends and family to Brooke because I have absolute confidence in her abilities."

Avvo Rating

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.
