About
The best description for Christopher Johnson is compassionate and experienced. With over 28 years of working in the criminal justice system, Chris understands how the system works. As a former prosecutor and now a criminal defense attorney, Chris has a unique and varied perspective that most lawyers do not and never will have. Inside information is good. This perspective, know-how and the depth of the SPOE Criminal Law Team are what get things done for our clients. Chris has a reputation for being a strong advocate who treats people well. How about this: people that were once prosecuted by Chris have now hired him to represent them. This speaks volumes about Chris’ character as both a lawyer and a person. A native of Springfield, Minnesota, Chris earned his Bachelors of Arts Degree from St. Olaf College and his Juris Doctorate from William Mitchell College of Law. He primarily handles cases involving criminal charges or bankruptcy: Criminal Defense: Felonies, Gross Misdemeanors and MisdemeanorsProbation ViolationsDWI/DUI defenseTraffic Law: Citations/TicketsDriver’s License IssuesBankruptcyChapter 7 dischargeDebtor/Creditor claimsChris is married and has three daughters.

Chris Johnson has represented me on two occasions. Several years ago my father had a stroke and I became his primary caregiver. I was teaching middle school at the time and spending every spare minute as with my father. This situation began to take a deleterious toll on my health as anxiety and sleeplessness set in. I went to my physician for help and they prescribed medications that created opioid addiction. It was a brutal situation and, long story short, I ended up with DUI charge. Chris guided me through the prosecution system and saw my case to a successful conclusion. My second case involved my dog Molly being unjustly accused and Chris saw this to a successful outcome as well. I am glad I he has had my back as going up against the justice system alone would be a major problem!
