About

Prior to joining with Ryan Willis to form Willis & Johnson, PLLC, I had a variety of professional experiences that I bring to my practice of law.  After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I served as a Surface Warfare Officeer in the United States Navy.  After I completed my service, I worked for United States Senator Max Cleland and assisted him in the areas of national defense and veterans affairs.  I returned to North Carolina and to Chapel Hill to study law.  Upon graduating from law school, I served for three years as a prosecutor in Wake County and gained valuable experience prosecuting criminal defendants on charges ranging from DWI to Murder.  I left the district attorney's office to return to my hometown of Hickory, NC to run for Congress.  While I managed to win my party's nomination, the campaign fell short in the general election.  I returned to Raleigh after the election and went into private practice in the areas of criminal defense and civil litigation. In 2011, I joined my law school classmate and fellow former prosecutor, Ryan Willis, to form Willis & Johnson, PLLC.
