About

It is essential to any law practice, particularly one that is adversarial, that there be an adequate work/life balance so that the law practice can be optimized.  I enjoy the outdoor activities, including walking, nature hiking, and cycling.  I enjoy visiting the mall and watching movies, just like everybody else.  I am also a professional trumpet player.  Prior to law school, my only profession was as a trumpet player, and I also taught private trumpet lessons.  As a musician I continue to contribute to various church ministries and volunteer organizations, and I continue to play professionally on occasion.  I play piano as an amateur for enjoyment.  I was raised in a musical family.  As a child, I was well traveled, having lived in Austria, Germany, and France.  I also traveled to Spain, Switzerland, and Italy.  I studied two years in France at the Conservatoire de Montreuil, which is located in the Paris metropolitan area. During my travels and education, I have learned to speak, read, and write French and German at a proficient level, and learned an appreciation for arts and music.  I have developed many friendships over the years, both abroad from the past, and locally.  I greatly value all of my friendships and family.  Foreign language studies and conversation continues to be a hobby of mine.  My faith in God is a very important aspect of my perseverance, hope, and happiness, and is the basis for all of my achievements.

Johnathan Johnson stepped in to represent me in an auto accident case nearing the statute of limitations when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed improbable. He went straight to work during our first and only in-person meeting and employed a strategy to expedite the insurer’s response and encourage a reasonable settlement, avoiding drawn out litigation. With Mr. Johnson’s knowledge, skilful negotiations and excellent, concise communication the case was settled satisfactorily in less than seven weeks. He kept me informed of developments throughout and was responsive to my questions. I am so grateful to Mr. Johnson and would recommend him without hesitation.

Compared to a previous experience with a different firm, Jonathan was excellent at communicating every step of the way. I was not left in the dark as to the status of my case, and he reviewed each communication with me prior to submitting to the opposing party to verify accuracy and obtain my consent. Based on his previous experience with case law, he pursued an alternate angle in an attempt to obtain the best result. I knew I had a favorable advocate who was doing his best, even with a relatively small case. He was also very conscientious to not over-promise and under-deliver.

Mine was very complicated and Jonathan spent many hours, days, weeks and months working hard, studying the thousands of pages of medical records and legal documents so he was well acquainted with every detail of my case. I really appreciate how Jonathan kept me updated regularly on the progress of my case and I was pleased with the settlement.

I hired Jonathan to help me with a personal injury claim from a car accident. He did a wonderful job representing me and a great job explaining everything to me as well! This process was very new to me so I had a lot of questions and he was always available to answer them and keep me in the loop. Thank you for all your help!

He exceeded my expections. He was easy to contact, got back to me in a timely fashion, knowledgeable, and the final outcome of my case was much better than expected. I would recommend him to anyone, you'd be happy you hired him.

My life partner was hit by a woman driving a car in September 2015. My partner was on a motorcycle and had just pulled out of our apartment complex. The woman hit her in front of our apartment complex office. Our maintenance man witnessed the accident (and many others) and called 9-1-1 right away. My life partner had to be rushed into emergency surgery that day to repair her nearly severed and crushed ankle and lower leg. We immediately had issues with our insurance company. We found out the woman who hit my life partner had the same insurance carrier that we did. They assigned us to the SAME adjuster to handle the accident claim and our motorcycle claim. CONFLICT OF INTEREST. Our best friend told us about her amazing attorney that helped her when she was hit by a car the year before and had to have surgery because of the injury. That amazing attorney is Jonathan H Johnson. I spoke with Jonathan right away. My life partner was on strict pain management and bedridden. We had to have hospital equipment moved into our home just for my partner to function. She was also scheduled for her 2nd surgery to see if the surgeon could possibly repair her ankle and lower leg, the very next day. When I told this to Jonathan, he didn't hesitate to drive to our home, 20 miles away, during rush hour traffic to talk to us. He understood the immense pain my partner was in and how busy I was trying to take care of her and work 60 hours a week to try to make ends meet because when my partner was hit by that car, that stopped her income. She's employed still, just not able to work, so no income. Jonathan walked us through her rights and explained the potential outcomes. Realistic outcomes. He didn't pressure us AT ALL to select him as our attorney. That just made us want to hire him more. He was honest and upfront about the fees and costs associated. No hidden agenda. Just facts and he really seemed to care. My life partner went into surgery the next day. It took her amazing surgeon 10 hours. she would be bedridden for a few months at least. The pain management costs were adding up because her insurance would only cover so much. The rest came out of pocket. Money we didn't have since the loss of her income. Jonathan helped us with the insurance company, the doctor and even found us lower cost pharmacies and prescription help! Jonathan went over and beyond to help us on things he didn't have to. Jonathan always asked how Jennifer was doing and stayed in consistent contact with us as he sifted through doctor bills and insurance claim adjusters and the list goes on! Jonathan worked with other attorneys to get the best information to ensure that my life partner and I wouldn't be left trying to pay for bills we couldn't afford and making sure she would still be provided care ongoing. There is so much more to this, but not enough space. Just know, if you want a real, down to earth, kind, SMART, attorney that truly listens and will go over and beyond to help you, then Jonathan H Johnson is the attorney for you! Jonathan is truly AMAZING! This comes from 3 of us!

I consulted with Jonathan about a matter that affected me and my family. He was prompt to respond, professional, and candid about the feasibility of the potential case.

Jonathan was exceptional he walked me through and help me understand the law he was very understanding quick to get ahold of and always return my call promptly. During my divorce I felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster Jonathan was always there to set my mind at ease promptly getting my paperwork processed informing me of the next steps and continuously keep me updated along with the process. At first I was a little nervous with him,Jonathan seem to be a little soft-spoken and I knew my ex-wife could be a little difficult, but when the fight started I was glad to have him on my side, The soft-spoken demeanor was for me His intelligents where superior in every way but his knowledge of the law overcame my expectations. And with that I felt that the law was on my side. I would recommend him to anyone.

Johnathan represented me in what began as a fairly straightforward personal injury claim (Vehicle accident related). It quickly became much more complex...particularly AFTER settlement with two different insurance carriers. The very DAY AFTER settlement was the day the medical services provider chose to file liens....even though were were two years post incident, and 18 months post medical care related to the crash. I was angry. Jonathan worked long and hard, and refused to knuckle under, even when I became discouraged and was contemplating just giving in, taking MUCH less settlement money than I had settled with. In the end...Jonathan was right, and I ended up with most of the settlement secured from the insurance carriers. He is calm, pragmatic and professional, and will serve your interests with integrity, honesty and humor. I highly recommend Jonathan H. Johnson
