Inappropriate and lazy...

Matthew M. Johnson, CA bar #261899 should not be able to maintain his license. My experience with this public defender was extremely disappointing. I felt misled about what he could and would do for my case. Throughout my representation, I received very little legal advice or meaningful communicat...ion, and it seemed like almost no work was being done on my behalf. Whenever I asked questions, I felt like I was an inconvenience rather than a client who deserved answers. I also asked for available public resources, including an investigator, that I believed could have helped my defense, but he refused to pursue them or work with me on those requests. Overall, I was left with the impression that maintaining a good relationship with the prosecutor was a higher priority than aggressively advocating for my interests. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this attorney to anyone seeking dedicated and proactive legal representation. He seemed more interested in offering his personal thoughts on the attractiveness of others involved in my case.

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.
