Brilliant and dedicated criminal defense

Stephanie Johnson is a fantastic attorney who will be with you every step of the way. My family found Stephanie Johnson and her partner, Robert Ernenwein, through Avvo after a negative experience with an unhelpful attorney from a different office. My father had been charged with a misdemeanor and was... facing life-time sex offender registration. Stephanie’s knowledge, experience, and passion was invaluable throughout the months she worked with my father in the office and in the courtroom. Though my father’s English skills are limited, Stephanie had ample patience and brought in interpreters to help with communication. Stephanie, Robert, and their team conducted a thorough investigation (something which the LASD failed to do), crafted an ingenious defense, and presented convincing arguments during the jury trial. Thanks to their work, the jury found my father not guilty of the charge of sexual battery. My family is eternally grateful to, and in awe of, Stephanie and everyone working alongside her.

Superwoman, got me amazing deal!

I was reffered to and met Stephanie Johnson through my retainment of Robert Ernewein, in a felony case I had. I physically met Stefanie a couple months after my arraignment. Robert had informed me prior to this that I would be working closely with Stephanie in the later parts of my case due to her te...nacity, energy and personal relationships within the legal community in a situation like mine. Stephanie worked as a deputy district attorney before becoming a defense attorney, she knows both sides of the court very well. She thinks outside the box , and let me tell you, she went above and beyond my expectations from the moment I met her. She has amazing energy. She listened to my story, she physically came to the crime scene with the investigator to do a walk through, video tape, audio recording interviews with me and my coworkers. She was positive and realistic. She ultimately was agressive with the DA office and was able to get me an amazing plea to reduce my felony charge with an enhancement to a misdemeanor with probation. I could not have asked for anything more from Stephanie and I was truly lucky to have her on my legal defense team. I would highly recommend her services to anyone that may need an amazing criminal defense attorney. Thank you so much for all your hard work Stephanie! My family and I greatly appreciate your efforts!
