About

I went to UC Hastings College of Law with the intention of practicing Family Law.   I was drawn to the emotional nature of the work, and to the great positive impact that my work could have on families. To that end, I worked for the San Francisco Family Law self-help center all through law school, and was selected to be a judicial extern for the San Francisco Unified Family Court.  I also worked as a research assistant for both Kelly Weisberg and Lois Weithorn, the two Family Law professors at Hastings.  I engaged in in-depth research projects and wrote substantive contributions to their casebooks.Theory is all well and good, but the practice of Family Law is really what inspires me.  I worked in private practice as an associate at the Law Offices of Susan L. Jeffries for four years before opening my own law office.  I practice solely Family Law.  I assist my clients with a wide range of services, from the preparation of pre- or post-nuptial agreements to negotiating settlements on property and support, to representing clients at contested hearings.Throughout it all, I endeavor to make a difficult time more bearable for each client, whether that be through easing their minds by giving them information on their legal rights, or by working on a limited scope basis to provide legal services at a lower cost.

Celeste Johansson is an exceptional Family Law attorney! We all know that divorce, custody and child support matters are difficult and can take an emotional toll whether a case is fairly simple or more complex. Celeste helped me navigate through the end of an extremely long and complex case. She is smart, savvy and is extremely knowledgeable in the intricacies of family law. She helped me to evaluate my situation, gave me her recommendations, and helped me to disentangle from what had been an ugly case and to reach a settlement when this had previously seemed impossible. My children and I are finally able to move on after a hard road. Celeste is compassionate on top of being a great attorney. She is incredibly responsive and professional and gets results. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
