Q. How do I pick my lawyer?
Lawyers work in a variety of legal fields so you should pick one that practices in the area you need help with. Johnson Law is primarily a criminal defense firm that focuses on DUI defense, domestic violence, sex crimes, and violent felonies. Aside from that, you should pick someone that you trust and are able to communicate with.
Q. When would I need you as my lawyer?
You have the absolute right to represent yourself. That said, Abraham Lincoln is famously quoted as saying 'the man who represents himself has a fool for a client.' This is not to say that most are not capable of representing themselves, indeed they are, but doing so comes with inherent risks as the case may be complicated or require a great deal of legal work. There are also procedural rules that must be followed and certain crimes carry significant long term consequences if you are found guilty.
Q. What should my attorney expect from me?
At Johnson Law, I expect my clients to be honest and upfront with me so that I can provide the best representation and advice possible.
Q. What should I expect when I hire an attorney?
You should expect your lawyer to be available and provide sound legal advice to help you navigate difficult and uncertain times.
Q. How do you set your fees?
Johnson Law charges both hourly and flat fee rates that are based primarily on the specific facts of your case.
