Posted by Michael | April 06, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Expeditious, Candid and Effective

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.

great attorney

I have approached Law Office of Wesley Johnson for contesting speeding infraction in Cowlitz county. this was my sons second speeding infraction under the age of 18 and he was going to be suspended , Mr. Johnson and his assistant Tina Clark, provided clear & accurate information on the next steps, s...wift communication, were extremely thorough, and successfully got my sons speeding ticket dismissed today. They were very professional in handling the case. I would recommend Mr Johnson to anyone needing a traffic attorney

Debt Discrepancy Resolved

Mr. Johnson took on my case and was very knowledgeable and supportive through the whole process. I had an unusual debt case and Mr. Johnson listened to me, examined my paperwork, and then resolved the discrepancy. He saved me thousands of dollars and I am so thankful for his assistance!

Posted by Ken | April 27, 2011 | Personal Injury

He is AWSOME!

I have used Wes for five different court cases and he has won all FIVE! Here is a list of things I used him for, 1) Personal Injury = We won 2) Claus not to compete "BUSINESS CLAUSE" = we won 3) Sons traffice ticket = we won 4) Order to stop slander / criminal slander = we won 5) Garnished pay c...hecks for money owed = we won Needless to say he is five out of five for me! He is batting 1000 it does not get much better than that. I have reffered Wes to my closest friends and relatives and never had a complaint. I have only listed the court proceedings that he won for me I have not listed the countless times I sought his advice and follwed it for the better. I woned a business for 15 years and have used serveral attorneys and Wes isthe only one I have kept. He will tell you the truth up front and let you know whatyour chances are. He is been a god send for me.
