Run away from him

He is a worse lawyer I have ever seen. After loosing hearing on my ticket, he even could not respond to my email and phone calls. If you need real professional avoid him.

Resolved a major ticket

Mr. Johnson was a complete life saver and helped me when I was facing a rather serious ticket. He was always professional and kept me in the loop each step of the process. It did take longer than I would have liked for the ticket to be resolved, but the delay was not on his end. Thanks so much.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Do not hire this attorney.

We talked on the phone and this guy was real nasty and didn't care or listened to me. I heard from sources this guy when he is in the court room the judge doesn't even listen to him from eye witnesses because he isn't a good attorney. Go find a real attorney because this guy isn't it. I wouldn't reco...mmend him to my dog.

Effective and affordable

I contested a speeding ticket. Wes appeared at trial without me. Case Dismissed. Doesn't that say it all.

In my time of need...

I had a significant life changing injury. The loss of income and medical bills was devastating. Wes represented me and I was able to recover exactly what I lost. I'm back on my feet again and the recovery of my medical bills and lost income made the difference. This was the first time I've ever been ...involved in a law suit and hopefully the last but I would have had no chance at recovering my losses without his guidance and representation.
