Don’t leave it to chance!

"Erik is a talented trial lawyer who cares deeply about his clients. Although he may be new to Arizona he's quickly established an outstanding reputation within the community. I would not hesitate to refer my clients to Erik."
"I highly endorse Erik Johnson. He is an exceptional trial attorney and skilled advocate. His dedication to his clients is second to none. There are few attorneys who share his passion. His results speak for themselves."
"I worked with Erik for 5 years during our time in the Colorado state public defender system. He earned a reputation amongst his co-workers, court staff, and opposing counsel as a hard nosed litigator who was not afraid to take a case to trial. Erik's work ethic is second to none and you will not find someone who will be willing to work harder to get you the results you deserve. He practices with compassion, tenacity, and diligence, which makes him an exceptional choice for any case heading toward trial. Erik is also highly skilled in mitigation investigations and negotiation for serious cases. If you want an attorney that will learn about your individual needs and tailor the representation to get you the best result possible, he is your guy."
"I worked with Erik for two years while he was with the Colorado State Public Defenders. He is an incredible attorney - passionate, aggressive, and brilliant. He has the experience and track record to handle any criminal case and the skills and tenacity to get the best result possible."
"Erik is a sharp and principled attorney, who is unwavering in his dedication to his clients. He has a genuine passion for helping the helpless and fighting for those who most need it."
"I have known Erik Johnson for 10 years and worked with him as a criminal defense attorney for almost 6 years. He is a dedicated and incredible attorney, one who showed a great deal of passion for his client's cases, routinely going above and beyond to ensure they received a full-throated defense. Unsurprisingly, that passion resulted in not guilty verdicts and favorable dispositions. He is respected by the Judge's he appears before, the opposing attorneys he goes against, his colleagues, and most importantly, his clients!"
