From the start to the finish of my case, I knew I was in great hands with Richard E. Johnson, Attorney at Law. When I first met Rick to go over my case, he was genuinely concerned and asked a lot of questions. Rick fought for me as hard as he could. Rick and his staff were highly informative and up front with me with all the billing procedures and how the contingency process worked. I know now, by using this firm, you will be in the presence of a professional who has been in the business for many years and that he will fight for your legal rights! I was constantly kept in contact by email or by phone. I was always given the pros and cons about an issue so I could make an informed decision to determine the direction I should go with the case. I would highly recommend Richard E. Johnson, Attorney at Law, to anyone with Employment Law issues. I really felt secure in letting Rick handle my case. Through it all, Rick stood by me and fought for me until the end. I would recommend using this attorney as he is very well versed in the matter of employment issues.

I was referred to Mr. Johnson with regard to legal matters connected to a previous employer. Mr. Johnson went above and beyond for me - not only did he patiently counsel me throughout the entire process, but he very quickly and astutely assessed me as a client and individual. Mr. Johnson was absolutely incredible - I feel very fortunate to have worked with him and cannot speak highly enough of him and his office. Thank you.

Richard Johnson was the first attorney I seeked out to take on my case. I didn't have to look any further. He handled everything for my case. He was very thourgh and kept all communication lines open with me after I had to relocate to another area. Very professional and will represent you well. One of the best decisions in choosing him to represent my case.

Rick was also very dedicated and determined to the very end. I am glad that I hired Rick Johnson to handle my case and I was very happy with the outcome.

I cannot begin to express my gratitude for Rick Johnson. His expert guidance & support led me through one of the toughest times of my life. Rick is articulate & not afraid to stand up for what is right. Rick advised me with such knowledge of the law, specifically discrimination & harassment I always felt confident & secure in his recommendations. If you’re looking for an attorney that truly knows the law & puts his clients best interest first & foremost look no further than Rick Johnson.

Rick took on my case of discrimination against a state university. He believed in me and worked with me for nearly 4 1/2 years of fighting the battle. Thru federal court (we won) then thru federal appeals court (we won again). He stood by me and fought to obtain justice for the wrongs committed against me. I would recommend him to anyone that has suffered from the actions of an employer who mistreats their employees

Rick Johnson represented me in an extremely contentious and complex employment litigation case against a large company. He handled every brief, filing and argument with attention to detail and legally sound arguments. I was able to relax knowing my case was in good hands. He is responsive, accessible, and organized. He is clearly an employment litigation expert.

Rick helped me with a suit against a former employer; he was supportive and willing to walk me through the legal process. Rick reviewed my case, answered all my questions, told me about his background and what he recommended, this made me comfortable to hire and work with him. The case took it's twists and turns, Rick and his team kept me updated and requested information as needed. Even when I was slow responding, Rick was persistent with me (which I needed!) and kept on track. I felt that I had access to Rick and his team at all times, I never felt like a number. I've worked with other lawyers in the past (for other needs), yet I felt Rick was the most, reliable, relatable and 'real' with me; he was the right choice and I strongly recommend him.

Rick was incredibly helpful to me during a difficulty time negotiating a resignation/settlement with my employer. I would not have had the success I did without his help. He was a staunch advocate for me and and also walked me through the process step-by-step.
