Compassionate

Mr. Anthony Johnson was very compassionate when we were dealing with a family matter concerning custody and child support. He was extremely open and honest about what was going to happen and was able to give us a lot of information based on his years of experience. He knows what he is talking about a...nd you can trust what he says.

Posted by Emmanuel Ezee | January 20, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Van Johnson Law Firm is best in Atlanta Metro Area.

He is a reliable, smart, compassionate, and outstanding attorney who produce fabulous results. Mr. Anthony Van Johnson whom I fondly called my St Anthony because of his miraculous work on my divorce case. He was the third attorney I had to retain in one month. The first attorney Millard Law was a sha...me and disaster, the second attorney was influenced by the first one to abandon my case. My divorce case was a relatively simple one but the first attorney made a mess of it as well as held onto the superior court temporary order which she coaxed me to sign away my pre-martial personal properties and rights without knowing a court order was issued as soon as I signed on dotted line. I had lost all hope that I would get through my horrible and bitter divorce before Mr. Van Johnson took over my divorce case on June 22 2015 without any case folder or court order available to him or knowledge there was one which the previous attorney withheld. Mr. Van Johnson aka St Anthony took over my case and showed he truly cares for his clients; he was responsive and aggressively went to work for me by providing excellent and quality service. St Anthony Van Johnson, as I like to call him, is an extremely talented attorney with an exceptionally strong eye for detail, a very calm demeanor that was a blessing for clients whom he cares a great deal about. He gave me a personalized powerful and excellent representation. All issues were handled professionally and timely which kept me stable and peaceful. Billing rates VERY fair, unlike Millard Law that had all five paralegals touching my case and billing me from $100-$150/hr. as well as $350/hr. for her review. The previous attorney Millard Law firm billed me $5700.00 in nine days of representation including the 30-days divorce conference call which led to my firing her on June 2 2015 after she refused to return my telephones from May 27 through May 31 2015. Mr. Van Johnson realized my financial predicament, he immediately gave me a fixed retainer fee and payment arrangement plan to lessen my financial burden. Anthony Van Johnson is one of Atlanta’s best attorney based on my experience, he is a rare breed and his likes are limited and hard to find in our vulture capitalism business practices. I recommend him for legal representation; beware of “shark” PISTRIS attorneys with a penchant for taking cases where s/he senses a big payday coming. Emmanuel E
