I was dealing with a very difficult co-parent for many years who wanted to keep all control while giving nothing in return no matter how much I proved myself. Debra Johnson did a fantastic job with my case. I was going for a 50/50 custody split for my daughter which she was able to get for us and much more .Debra and her team was extremely informative and effective on my situation which I was not confident in winning on my own. It was truly my pleasure to consult with them, watching her work through my trial with us and the judge was truly impressive. I would highly recommend Debra Johnson to anyone in a similar situation, it was worth every penny. Thanks again to Debra & her team, I could not have done it without her.

I am very thankful for Mrs. Johnson dealing with my court matters. My court battle was long due to covid but when it came time to work, I felt at ease with Mrs. Johnson. 19 months long process but we got the win! I was able to win majority custody of my daughter.

If you are looking for an outstanding attorney to fight for you, Attorney Johnson is hands down the best out there to hire. I have been in a nasty custody battle, and Attorney Johnson has made sure my daughter and myself are getting everything we need. She has done an outstanding job on my case and I am so thankful for having her and her team behind me. Attorney Johnson doesn’t make me feel like im just another client. She made sure there wasn’t anything left out in my case. Some of the things Attorney Johnson worked on that I honestly thought wouldn’t be a huge factor turned out to be the best outcome for my case. She is absolutely amazing in what she does. She is very respectful always there to answer questions, even after hours, and her team will make sure they get back to you as well. I could never thank them enough for what they have done in my life. I recommend her 10/10!

I hired Debra to handle an issue with contempt of my former wife. We won that case. My former wife petitioned the court for increased child support. Debra recommended that we should pursue majority custody. Even though there is a high burden of proof required to change custody, Debra did a great job gathering and presenting the evidence in the trial. We now have majority custody of my son. I would absolutely recommend Debra again. I'm just sad we didn't find her sooner.

Debra Johnson took charge and her grit and determination was incredible. Dealing with a sketchy ex husband with a history of abuse and intimidation towards me, Debra took charge. She had the guts to stand up to his attorney and I felt so completely confident the entire time, I cannot say enough good things about her! If you need someone to have your back.... Debra Johnson is the one!

As a client of attorney Johnson, I can with certainty say she is a true fighter. She has the knowledge, experience and a natural instincts one would hope to find in a family law attorney representing them. Thanks to Attorney Johnson’s legal services and the judges ruling, I was awarded primary custody of my child, the fathers request for relocation of our child was denied and the judge imputed income to the father giving me more than the child support guidelines. At trial, attorney Johnson had a balance of assertiveness, charisma and preparation to command the courtroom. The opposing party will not like her because she will get the truth out of them and expose them for who they are. With all being said attorney Johnson is not God and will not do all the work for you. You have to be diligent and and proactive about your case as well. It will also save you money in the long run because her services are on the higher end. For almost two years now I have been Attorney Johnsons client and I couldn’t thank her and her team enough. Thank you!

A few years ago, Attorney Debra Johnson represented my father with determination and laser focus in his divorce case. Thanks to her expert legal work, he was able to walk away with a fair bargain. Beyond this important engagement, Ms. Johnson also drew up his Will and assisted with other legal matters. This made for a smooth probate procedure for my dad's estate, after he passed away. I can't thank Ms. Johnson enough! Highly recommend her to any client!
