Sandra Elaine Johnston

I had began an "amicable" divorce by beginning my paperwork and filing without assistance. This "amicable" divorce quickly turned south. I'm a full time Airline Pilot, and I thought I could do this myself (you all know the stereotypes of pilots...and my ex used these all against me). My attempts in to do this without legal counsel, left me in a very bad position. I was kicked out of my house (based on lies), and had the time with my kids reduced to almost nothing. I was at a loss for what to do, and searched AVVO to quickly find an attorney represent me before there was further damage.

Sandra had the best rating that I could find on AVVO, and I reached out to her. With 5 days notice, she prepared a good defense for temporary orders, and we were able to restore some time with the kids. Over the course of the next two years, we had a successful trial, and came out with a very fair result. I have a shared 50/50 plan of two very young children (at my request), and with my career and availability, its a HUGE victory! Getting to have a substantial part in my children's life was paramount in the divorce and separation.

Sandra has great advise. She is very to the point, very honest. She doesn't waste your time. The best part about Sandra, is that her memory is amazing. This saves TONS of money. I can tell her a story once, and she remembers in detail to be recalled later. This saved hours and days of trial prep. Her trial experience and abilities are off the chart good. There was no comparison to the professionalism of Sandra compared to the counsel of my ex-wife's. She always represented the truth, which made trial successful. If you have an attorney that wants to lie or embellish, it will leave you in some tight spots later during the divorce. Sandra's integrity and advice (which I followed) set me up to be seen in a good light.

I am so thankful that I had Sandra on my side. Look no further, she is the BEST!

I want to let everyone know that if you have a hard time trying to find a good lawyer Sandra is the best of the best! She takes all her cases very personally and give it 200%. I was very bless to have her represent me. The state wanted to teach me a lesson and tried to prosecute me, because I was a domestic violence victim and did not showed up for court on their behalf. I was very scared, but Sandra explained and took her time and walk me through all the courts process and just made me feel safe again. even though my case was pro bono she made me feel like I was paying millions. Thanks to Sandra my case was dismissed. She has given me the courage to leave my abusive husband. Also her assistant Michelle is very caring, understanding and helpful.

Sandra has been my lawyer since the beginning of my very messy divorce. It's often difficult for a man to end up with custody, and she fought hard for me because she believed my daughter would be better off in my care. In the end, she was able to factually lay out all the reasons why my daughter would be best fitted to stay in my care, and I've been happily raising her ever since. My daughter is healthy, happy and will always be well taken care of because of Sandra.
