Help in a time of trouble

Attorney VanJohnson faced an uphill battle with my son's charges which resulted from addiction. Although my son has been in recovery for over a year, he had several charges against him from the time prior to his rehabilitation. Attorney VanJohnson has defended my son against 3 separate charges now..., and particularly in the last instance, avoided a continuous jail sentence which would have resulted in my son losing his job. Anthony has always been professional and given us comfort and confidence no matter how bad the circumstances. He is tenacious in reaching the best possible agreement with the court for the benefit of the defendant. He has the ability to get right to the point of any legal issues. He has patiently answered any questions I have had regarding court actions. We are continuing to take advantage of his services for divorce agreement issues. I recommend Anthony to anyone facing difficult charges or just looking to modify an agreement. He's the best!

The Attorney You Want in the Court Of Law!!!

I have retained Attorney Anthony O. VanJohnson several times since 2000. He has not let me down yet. From divorse, to simple battery, to criminal defense, he has come through for me again, and again. I have recommended him to my family, and friends. So I would say to anyone, if you need excellent rep...resentation in the court of law, Anthony O. VanJohnson is the attorney you need.

Great Lawyer!

Attorney Van Johnson was the Attorney that I retained for my Divorce case which was complicated and dealt with a variety of extremely sensitive issues. Attorney Van Johnson was discrete, informative and my "Captain" though the storm. Words cannot express the relief I feel at this time being Divorce...d from a Woman who simply wanted money, nothing else (and same difference during the Marriage). Yes I am naive because I did not know there were people like that really out there (that could fool me!) but it happened. When it became time to get an Attorney, I had one that was to my shock and dismay, more money hungry than my Ex-Wife. Then when I decided to get someone that I could "TRUST." I sought out and found Attorney Van Johnson. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking resolution of difficult Divorce situations. His calm demeanor is backed up with the teeth of a Pit Bull when it comes to the recommendations and more importantly, the outcomes of the case. I am just a regular guy that had a very difficult situation. If my words here are not enough to convince you how good Attorney Van Johnson is, please give me a call. My phone number is listed. Best regards, Dr. Ron L. Booth
