Ryan Johnson was very honest and forthright in his dealings with my dissolution of marriage. He kept everything professional yet comfortable, as dissolution of marriage can be a stressful process. His assistant was nice.

Had a long and drawn out parenting plan modification. Ryan was very helpful. He always offered great advice. The billing was very reasonable. His staff was always friendly and very prompt to help with anything I needed. I hope to not need his services in the future but if I ever do he will be the first call.

When I found myself going through an unexpected divorce Ryan Johnson came along side me and helped me out in the hardest, most vulnerable time of my life. He is very knowledgeable, respectful and went above and beyond to represent me well. Going through a divorce is hard but having a great attorney to represent you gives you peace of mind. I will forever be grateful...Thank you Ryan!

Johnson & Taylor was recommended to me by a family friend when some stressful family related issues arose.. I reached out to them and was immediately greeted with compassion, & an actual intellectual engagement into what my situation was. I feel lucky to have had Brittany represent me in my Family Law case. Her & her assistant, Diana, did a wonderful job listening, understanding, & explaining everything that would happen along the way in a clear and concise manner, up to and including the financial aspects. Let's just say I was EXTREMELY pleased with that as well- couple that with the fact that they are fair, and aren't overly aggressive like some other firms, and you have a combination for top notch representation. They took my case straight to the point, and didn't waste any time along the way. Every step of the way was very well organized, and included opportunities for my feedback, as well as answering any question I had, no matter how mundane.. More importantly, there were no surprises or under handed techniques - they also played fair, and in my opinion, that is extremely important in Family Law I truly have to say, that after almost 40 years on this earth, I have found a Lawyer that really is worth recommending! You will not be disappointed here! Thank you again Brittany & Diana, and thank you to the rest of your team as well! I could not have done this without you all!

He came highly recommended by a friend and now I highly recommend him as well. He is professional, knowledgeable, and has a good feel for how things are going to go. Following his advice always turned out well and made it feel like he was invested in me and my case. I felt like I was in good hands with Ryan and his team - alleviating a lot of stress in an otherwise stressful situation. If you're looking for quality legal representation, look no further than Johnson and Taylor.

I met with two other attorneys prior to hiring Ryan Johnson and he was by far the most knowledgeable, organized and supportive. I have been a client of Ryan’s now for a couple years and through a very tough divorce and then a separate child support case. Ryan always has timely responses and knowledgeable advice to follow. He is to the point without sugar coating things and having realistic expectations from the beginning. He honors what he says, and follows through with those expectations. He cares about you as a person and in your each individual situation, not just as another “case”. Ryan came recommended to me from a friend and through a co-worker and I would do the same and recommend him to others I know needing legal representation.

In the beginning of 2020 I needed an attorney to help get me through my custody battle. I took to FB to ask for recommendations through my close friends. A co-worker of mine had suggested Johnson and Taylor because they had represented her so well through her custody battle. After a bit of research I decided to lock it in. I just want to say I'm so glad I did. Ryan was professional and understanding through my whole case. In-between meetings with him Abby was there every step of the way to answer my questions and always responded to my emails in a timely manner. Very grateful for the support of these two. Custody battles are stressful enough as is but having Ryan & Abby on my team made the whole process much more bearable. Very appreciative!

I cannot say enough about Ryan Johnson and his team. I met with three attorneys before choosing Ryan. His experience and knowledge was exceptional. He and Abby were always responsive to questions and issues. Child custody cases can be very difficult and emotional, having someone like Ryan on our side made the world of a difference. You cannot in anyway predict how these things will go, but he is straight forward about realistic expectations, which appreciate. I used him for my original divorce and then again to update the custody agreement 3 years later when issues occurred with my ex. In that almost 4 year span I do not have one complaint to make about these guys. I highly recommend Ryan Johnson and his team.

Ryan was my attorney for a child custody case. Although this can be very stressful, he made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. Ryan was always very upfront and honest with what the out come would be and how to approach all aspects of my case. He and his team were amazing with communication and answering my million questions in a timely manner. I can’t thank and/or recommend them enough.
