I have worked with Tom for quite some time. He has helped numerous people achieve loan modifications on their mortgages and settle debts. He always charges a fair price and is very easy to talk to. His knowledge of various forms of real estate law is also very high. Would recommend him to anybody. I have already.

As an older lifelong Real Estate professional I have worked with many lawyers. I started using Tom on a few things once in awhile over 5 years ago. As my confidence in him grew I have used him more & more. He now is the guy I call first about anything concerning Real Estate. He has a strong "Git-R-Done" attitude which is coupled with a great depth of knowledge of the law & wonderfully lucid and concise writing. Tom is one of the very few lawyers that I have worked with that I feel like I get my money's worth when I involve him in a project or problem.

My wife and I would like to thank you for representing our family during a very difficult time while walking us through all of the different processes that we encountered along the way. You were AWESOME, very thorough, Honest and Straightforward throughout the entire process. Now we see it all was Worth it because we now have SAVED our home and is CURRENT on our mortgage as of today! There need to be more lawyers like you Tom, who works for the people and not just the MONEY thanks again!!!

Answered a pending question that as it turned out would have become a legal quagmire had I chosen to pursue litigation. The time and expense simply would not have been worth it. This pertained to real estate law.

Being both knowledgeable and personable Tom helped make my legal real estate experience much less painful than I had anticipated. I had the odd problem of wanting to give my house back to the bank and be relieved of my indebtedness. Although not a normal way to go about foreclosure Tom had enough knowledge of the real estate world to make it happen for me. I am now free and clear of that mortgage. I never felt like I didn't know what was going on. I never felt talked down to. Tom really cared about how I was doing with my case. The pricing was upfront and fair. I highly recommend using Thomas Johnston for any real estate issues you may have.

We have used Mr. Johnston on a number of occasions in our real estate investment (buy, sell, ownership transfer) and property management (management agreements, third party contracts, resident issues, review of forms) transactions and have been very pleased with his prompt response, attention to detail and find his fees to be very competitive.

I hired Tom to help me navigate options to resolve confusing private student loan debt with compounding interest and late fees. Tom was knowledgeable about the systems and shared my options (not just bankruptcy) as well as a recommendation. He clearly communicated next steps and how he could facilitate. Before I chose Tom as my lawyer, I experienced lawyers who were ambiguous about their terms, only wanted to focus on bankruptcy, or who did not educate me about what before/during/after such a debt might look. Tom's rates were evidence of his compassion, especially given how hard he worked to negotiate and help me resolve my debts (which he succeeded in doing). He is down to earth and a great communicator. I highly recommend him to anyone out there who is considering taking loans, feels in debt but wants more options than bankruptcy, or who wants an experienced negotiator.

Thomas Johnston is an excellent attorney. He provided legal counsel for my business during a damages hearing. He charged a fixed rate for his services, so we could plan, and continue our primary concern of operating the business. Since the case is still pending, I cannot comment further, but would highly recommend Thomas M. Johnston as your choice for counsel!
