    Immensely helpful and professional
    Mr. Johnson was immensely helpful in my recent case. He provided me with around-the-clock support, was extremely professional, and stood up for me when the prosecution tried to push a case that should never have come to court. Mr. Johnson was very fair with his pricing, and the service he provided very much supported the fees he asked. I would definitely turn to him if you are in need of professional legal service.

    Good attorney
    Good attorney. In our case, a plea deal was made requiring pleading guilty and no trial.

    Want Mr. Johnson by Your Side
    After a night out with some buddies on oceanfront in VA Beach, I ended up getting myself in a whole world of trouble. I reached out to Mr. Johnson, and he took me under his wing. Mr. Johnson and his team worked hard and communicated with me regularly throughout my case to get the best results there are. Mr. Johnson is a former VA Beach police officer, so he has played a role on both sides of the courtroom. Not many attorneys have that on their resume. If you find yourself in trouble with the law, I promise you, you want Mr. Johnson by your side.

    Attorney Johnson Is Excellent!
    Attorney Johnson is excellent! Mr. Johnson represented a family member who was facing multiple charges. Mr. Johnson diligently researched the case with precise attention to details. His extensive knowledge of the law and integrity to all involved in the case was a constant. Mr. Johnson communicated regularly with professionalism, clarity, and patience through the entire process. Be assured Attorney Johnson is impeccably prepared to defend with integrity and fairness with all involved. We will always call Mr. Johnson! Thank you, Mr. Johnson.

    Great job by Mr. Johnson
    I reached out to this firm late at night and reached the owner. A family member living in VA attempted to avoid arrest after committing crimes by giving my information to the responding officers. Subsequently, I never got any notices or communications from the police department as my brother gave them a wrong address. I realized the situation a year later after being denied the purchase of a new firearm. I paid this office on the spot, signed the paperwork, and off went the owner of this firm. In the end, I had to jump through a ton of hoops such as providing photos of myself, providing bank statements, providing receipts from within a 6-hour window of the incident, providing fingerprint cards, talking with the responding officers and their supervisor. In the end, it took the legal system of VA a year to reverse these charges, charge my brother with them and additional charges. I am glad the police department reached out to me because there were incidents that they were investigating but turned cold because there’s no record of me in VA. They were able to reopen these cold cases and proceed after my brother. In the end, Mr. Johnson remained in contact and pushed the PD, courts, and State Troopers office to do what was right based on the evidence I submitted. Great job, I thank this firm for taking care of me through this process.
