Recommendation of Craig Johnson.

Craig Johnson has been a strategic partner to our company; helping us with his counsel and guidance for almost 10 years. In addition to the excellent ratings I have provided in this review, we have found Craig to be ethical and professional with all his work and interactions . . . even when opposing... counsel hasn't been. Craig has also been mindful of time and expense associated with legal matters and has provided options for consideration for the client to consider regarding the risk vs. projected expense. Craig is an asset. I would readily recommend Craig for legal cousel and guidance.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
