About

I am the Principal and Owner of the law firm HARMON JOHNSON LLC. My practice focuses on all forms of discrimination, civil rights violations and criminal defense. As an attorney, I have seen and done it all. Igraduated with Honors from Howard University School of Law.I then started my legal career in “Big Law,” at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, where I litigated employment and corporate securities matters. After that, I worked for the City of New York, where I fought and won numerous trials, involving civil rights violations and severe personal injuries.After drafting several hundred judicial opinions as a Principal Law Clerk for a New York State Supreme Court Justice, I moved to Oregon. Once here, I became the first Director of Civil Rights for the Oregon Attorney General. I used this position to fight for the civil rights of Oregon’s most vulnerable populations, including the elderly, immigrants and the LGBTQ community.I also have a passion for teaching. I was an adjunct professor at Monroe College, and a high school and college trial advocacy Coach. I have also taught trial skills to attorneys from across the country as a National Attorney General Training and Research Institute (NAGTRI) faculty member.I am also a frequent volunteer with Financial Beginnings, where I teach financial literacy to students and parents. And the Classroom Law Project, where I judge high school debates and mock trials.
