I was in good hands

I was in anguish over a custody/child support case, and got a referral to Mr. Johnson's firm. From the minute I walked in, I was treated with great care and compassion. I didn't have the strongest case, and I appreciated Mr. Johnson's frank assessment coupled with his absolute best to get a good outc...ome for me. (Which he fought for and got.) "Going the extra mile" is a cliche, but in Mr. Johnson's case it was absolutely true. I am grateful to him, and to the wonderfully helpful staff who work for him.

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.
