Posted by Donovan | November 09, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Criminal Defense

Charles Johnston took on my case with little notice, yet he provided an excellent defense for me and I avoided ten years in prison thanks to his efforts. Chuck, as I call him, is an excellent attorney and a genuinely nice guy. I highly recommend Charles Johnston to defend anyone.

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.
