Words can't even describe the stress free and worry free environment shawanna was able to bring to my family, she is definitely the needle in the haystack when it came to hiring the right person for the right job. She's extremely knowledgeable, very professional, super friendly and will fight for you in court. THANK YOU SHAWANNA!!!! Me and my family are very grateful we found a hard working attorney like her and for whatever reason I might need to hire another attorney later down the road best believe I will have her number on speed dial and get things going she's good at what she does and I'm just truly happy I hired her for the job thanks again shawanna me and my family will always remember you.

I contacted this attorney when I needed help with a family law situation. She was wonderful in every way throughout the time that it took for the problem to be resolved, It was resolved in my favor thanks to Ms. Johnson. I respect and admire her as a person and as a lawyer. I hope I never need to hire another family law lawyer, but if I do, she is the first person I will call.

I am a real estate broker in Las Vegas and Shawanna has helped me and multiple clients of mine with legal issues. She has been nothing short of amazing! I highly recommend her.

Let me start with how upfront and personable she is. Shawanna gave me great honest advice before we even started. She is very well organized and answered all my questions on the process. When it came to all the documents needed for my case they are written very well and detailed. In the end she worked very hard for me and went above and beyond. VERY SATISFIED!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH SHAWANNA!!! On another note i was referred to Shawanna after a highly rated attorney on Avvo lost my file for three months and failed to deliver anything but putting me in touch with Shawanna. Thank you to the failed attorney. It worked out better for me.
