compassionate,direct, knowledgeable,knows what hes doing and has a keen intuition of people.(thats a God given gift to me)
Mr. Johnson is A caring, and hard working attorney. Im more satisfied with him than any Atty. Ive used in the past. Hopefully I'll never need another Atty. again, but if I do it will be Cornell Johnson.
Had a great experience with him, always answered my questions and handled my case with professionalism, and plus we WON MY CASE!!! Would highly recommend him.
Mi experiencia fuel bien horientada mi caso siempre estubo en buenas manos. Gracias abogado...!
Atty Johnson took me from facing possible deportation to becoming a citizen!!! I’m forever grateful to him. He is profoundly excellent at being a lawyer. He put in the time necessary and made sure I got the best possible outcome for my case. Before I met him, I had been to well over 20 attorneys in Charlotte with the same issue and not one of them could come up with a coherent strategy of how to approach my case. Atty Johnson on the other hand knew just exactly how to handle my case. He left no stone unturned. He is very professional and personable. He keeps you informed every step of the way. His office staff is also very cordial. I highly recommend this attorney to ANYONE that’s in need of legal a representation pertaining to immigration and criminal matters. He is your guy! Once again, from the bottom of my heart, I sincerely thank you ( Atty Johnson) and your staff for your legal services provided to me and my family! May the Lord bless you!
So very pleased with the entire process. They keep me well informed all the time and everything went as they told me, very professional. I would definitely recommend Mr. Johnson !
Hiring an attorney isn't something that one wants to do, but when I had to, I was SO glad I chose Carnell. I felt at ease with him by my side. I would 100% recommend him!
I found Carnell Johnson to be very professional, and easy to work with. The office staff were also very courteous and made sure to supply answers to any questions we may have had. I would highly recommend seeking his services when needed.
I live in Canada and I had a speeding ticket while I was driving in North Carolina. I usually do not speed, but I simply did not see the speed limit sign since I was not familiar with the road. I contacted Mr. Johnson and we arranged that he represents me. The fee was reasonable and the whole process went so smoothly without complications. He saved me the hassle to travel to North Carolina to dispute the ticket and now I am satisfied with his service and his level of professionalism. Thanks for him and for Ms. Castillo (his secretary) for the smooth experience.
Mr. Johnson is amazing! He is efficient, prompt, attentive to all questions, and extremely knowledgeable. His assistant Maria has also helped make my legal matters easier to handle. I would recommend his serves to ANY friend or family member!
