    Review Wesley Johnson

    Resolved a major ticket

    Posted by

    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.

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

    In my time of need...

    Posted by

    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.

    Traffic Citation

    Posted by

    I was from out of town visiting Longview and inquired a speeding citation from a officer. I looked into getting representation for the issue and found The Law Office of Wesley Johnson on the internet. I contacted the office and met with Tina Clark his assistant. From that point there The Law Office of Wesley Johnson made the process easy and took care of everything with a dismissal of the speeding citation.

    Expeditious, Candid and Effective

    Posted by

    I engaged Wes to resolve an odd ticket I received in Cowlitz County (driving with a suspended registration). The punishment is severe - minimum 2 days in jail and a fine. Since I travel between California and Washington frequently and live in Seattle, a protracted court case wasn't feasible. Wes got the issue reduced to a minor infraction with a small fine. He was always in communication, required little to none of my time, and handled things with ease.

    Traffic Infraction - 1st Speeding Ticket

    Posted by

    I got my first ever speeding ticket away from my home in Cowlitz County. Having to appear for court would have been a huge hassle as it would have resulted in ~2 hrs of driving each way. Wesley took care of it with little effort from me. Several months after the ticket was issued, I got an update from his office saying it was dismissed. I didn't have to appear or anything - great service!

    well done

    Posted by

    Dismissed! Need i say more? It was just a traffic ticket, my first one in decades ; 25 in a 20 (school zone. oops). I could pay Woodland/Cowlitz Co the $214.00 and have my insurance go up , sweat getting another ticket and face license suspension ,or, retain Wesley for the $275.00 flat fee that he charges. It seemed like a good gamble after being advised of Wesleys success against Woodland.

    Wreckless driving

    Posted by

    I was ticketed months after the fact for wreckless driving, disorderly conduct and harassment. Yeah I am not perfect lol. I was horrified because of the circumstances that this took place under. Mr Johnson explained what happened to the prosecutor and everything was dismissed except for the disorderly conduct. I was very happy with the outcome and I believe he earned the $1200 I paid him. By the way lesson learned lol.

    I endorse this lawyer. I have known Wes since I started practicing law. I previously worked with Wes when he was still handling family law matters. Since then, his practice has focused elsewhere, but I continue to refer personal injury and speeding clients to him. He is dedicated to positive outcomes for his clients.

    Wes is a highly skilled and experienced personal injury attorney. He loves the practice of law and is intellectually dedicated to a just outcome. His staff is very diligent and well-trained, as well.
