This lawyer is not a bulldog. Doesn't like to fight. Always bugging for payments. Everytime case is discussed he brings up payment. Doesn't care about case or the needs for the wellbeing of the children in this case. Worthless....stay away. No heart.

Mr. Johnson handled my siblings custody battle, that sided against her. He was hardly prepared although he had weeks to be. He always seemed like he had other pressing issues he needed to attend to that didn't pertain to the case at hand. During the hearing and testimonies he often fumbled his argument or case. He stated facts wrong even after conversing with his client. He came off very unprofessional. His Assistant was very good at touching base with my sister, but toward the end it was if my sister had to continuously call Johnsons office for information or concerns. I would NOT recommend Michael Johnson. He was clearly more concerned about receiving his checks then doing the task at hand, which was to advise, advocate, and thrive in this devastating matter on which we had.

Michael did a fantastic job representing me in a difficult divorce. He knew how to negotiate the best financial deal for me. Michael and his assistant were responsive to all my calls and emails and his fees were far lower than any of the other attorneys I called. I highly recommend him.

Michael came recommended by a highly respected attorney who could not take the case due to a potential conflict of interest. Divorce attorneys are in the trusted position of being there at a time when most people are lost, confused, angry, sad, desperate, and seeking someone they can trust to guide them. Michael did none of these things. He was not responsive to emails in a timely manner. He padded his bills when he did answer emails. He set up terms for my divorce that clearly left me at a disadvantage (I should have known better- shame on me). I should have trusted the other reviews I read on the internet. He was not kind, compassionate, considerate, I ended up feeling like he was hired by my ex-spouse. Would not recommend and went back to referral source and let them know of my experience.

Mr. Johnson came highly recommended by another attorney. He was very efficient and helpful. He did not worry about playing games and was professional, honest and ethical and he kept me informed the entire time. His suggestions were heeded and the divorce went as well as can be expected for this type of situation. A++ family law attorney!

Mr. Johnson was the key to unraveling a very problematic and complicated divorce case for us and we hold him in very high regards. Anyone experiencing divorce or even considering it would be crazy to go to court with any other attorney. We happened on Mr Johnson after an unhappy experience with another attorney. He is a Godsend. I still thank him each and every day.

Michael did a good job on my first case so I hired him again for another issue. In this second case, he was effective in obtaining an equitable result but not particularly efficient. I believe the same result could easily have been achieved with the use of only about 60% of the final tally of chargeable hours. So be prepared to be very proactive about your case. You would think that an attorney would always have questions like "Will my client's request be found reasonable in court?" and "Is it better to settle now or keep preparing for court?" at the forefront of his mind AT ALL TIMES, but that was not always the case. He started out strong but unfortunately lost focus in the middle of the case. I don't believe this inefficiency was malicious, but I think that attorneys may unconsciously use fairly simple cases like mine as an opportunity to uh, relax a bit from the more complicated cases. Because I cannot recommend him enthusiastically, I'm gonna have to say "don't recommend", but really there should be other categories, like "recommend, but with reservations".

Mr. Johnson was recommended to us by another attorney as being one of the best she knew. She was right. He went into immediate action, calling the "opposing" attorney and settling a major problem for a young child, thus putting parent and grandparent at ease.
