My family and I are incredibly grateful to attorney Richard Johnston for helping my disabled brother fight for the pension benefits he was rightfully entitled to. After working for many years, my brother was diagnosed with a neurological disorder and was unfairly denied his vested pension by a San Francisco union. Richard’s understanding of the law and his ethical approach were crucial in challenging this unfair denial. He not only pointed out the relevant laws to the union but also ensured my brother received what he was entitled to. We cannot thank Richard Johnston enough for his dedication, honesty and compassion throughout this process.

Finding Richard was the best thing that could have happened to me when my claim was denied by my long term disability insurance company. it was so frustrating and scary, even, with so much on the line. His expertise, great listening skills, and calm demeanor always reassured me when we spoke. I really appreciate everything he did for me, and I know the positive outcome was a result of his knowledge and experience. I can't recommend him highly enough. You would be lucky to have him. I certainly was. Thank you again, Richard.

Mr. Johnston agreed to represent me in a retirement plan case with a former employer. He was very knowledgeable about ERISA and knew exactly what arguments to make to the judge on my behalf. Mr. Johnston was thorough in his preparation and confidently argued the key elements of my case. The judge agreed with him and he won the case for me. Mr. Johnston was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him.

I contacted Richard when my LTD benefits were improperly denied by my former employer‘s insurer. His knowledge and experience in ERISA law were essential to the successful resolution of my case. He was able to clearly explain the process and confidently guide me down the long road to resolution, honestly and strongly advocating in my favor. Richard was a careful and patient listener, respectful of the path that brought me to his proverbial door, and considerate of the emotional struggle when a lawyer needs to hire a lawyer. He’s a true wordsmith, polite, and highly recommend.

Mr. Johnston was eager to assist me with a retirement benefit that I was maneuvered out of by my former employer. Mr.Johnston helped me to understand the case clearly and provided good guidance. I would certainly recommend him.
