Hiring Mr. Johnson was one of the best decisions I ever made. He is hard working, extremely intelligent, and very well respected by all courts. Trust his process and his strategy, and you’ll be in good hands.

Carin Johnson is the most knowledgeable, exceptional attorney anyone can hire. When other attorneys tell you that you have no chance and to give up, Carin will fight for your rights and give it all that she has.

Carin heard my story and gave me everything she had in the courtroom. She was able to bring in expert witnesses who annihilated what the prosecution was brought in. Carin’s poise and demeanor in the courtroom resounded so professionally that the other attorneys did not know how to handle her. In her cross-examination of their witnesses, Carin would tear down their testimony to the point that the witness would be thrown into confusion and frustration on the stand. At one point, I *almost* felt sorry for one witness, almost. Carin knows how to get the truth out of the prosecution’s so-called “witnesses”. Carin’s knowledge of juvenile law is beyond anything we had ever seen. Even the bailiff in our courtroom told her she was “a breath of fresh air”. She brought her expertise to the courtroom that even the courtroom staff had never seen before. Carin was more than professional in how she represented herself, me, and the case that she was defending. I had confidence in her ability to defend my case and my child. She never left any doubt when things didn’t look good; instead, she kept fighting for me. We ended up winning our case and having it dismissed completely. In a case where one attorney told me to give up, Carin was able to have the judge dismiss it in its entirety and give me my family back.

Carin was not only our attorney but she became part of our family. We spent countless hours at the courthouse along with phone conversations working on my case. I owe her everything for the work she did. I highly recommend her to anyone and especially for those who feel like their case is impossible. With Carin, no case is impossible.

I’m very glad to have chosen Peter Johnson as my DUI attorney. Peter’s a straight shooter. He’s not necessarily going to try to make you feel warm and fuzzy about everything. But in the courtroom, he’s a hawk. The bottom line, he got my charges dismissed, and that’s the most important thing.

Through the process, I learned a lot about how the system works. Trials get rescheduled. Witnesses are expensive. Judges go on vacation. These factors were frustrating to me, especially at first. Peter probably could have done a better job preparing me for these situations early on. Once he helped me understand these factors, he worked very closely with me on the details and presented me with a variety of options and potential outcomes. He’s extremely knowledgeable, and clearly is very experienced. I can’t imagine going through this ordeal with someone lacking these skills.

I highly recommend Peter if you need an aggressive, skilled attorney.

We decided to retain Carin instead of Legal Aid and feel her work on our case and results were worth the time and extra cost. She held CPS accountable to the law and even handled our various appellate petitions. Dependency and juvenile court procedures are frighteningly byzantine to those of us on the “outside”, and her compassion and knowledge in fighting for us in that court helped change things in that county.

How does one put into words the tremendous amount of gratitude one feels for their commitment to fighting for your family and your children? There simply are not enough words to say thank you. Carin is hands down the best attorney anywhere you will ever find to fight for and advocate for your family. She is brilliant, very ethical, compassionate, generous with her time, has experts at her fingertips to assist with your case, but most importantly, she will fight for your case, as if she was fighting for her own family member or child! Her passion to put the child’s best interest first is second to none.

Carin is not easily retained, nor are her services cheap. However, the amount of personal attention you get with Carin, expertise, and passion to fight for your family as if they were her own blood, makes her a HUGE bargain! She is worth 5x the amount she charges, if not more when you consider what she has accomplished for the families who hire her and the generosity of her time. If she does not believe in the client, she will not represent them; but when she does, she gives it her everything, making herself very available to those who hire her.

I trust no one else to fight for life’s most important gift, my family, and my daughter’s best interest. I am so grateful to Carin as an attorney, and as a friend. I promise you, once you work with Carin, you will not want to hire anyone else to advocate for your family. She is worth every penny and more! Thank you, Carin

Wow! At consultation, she found out right away I was charged wrongfully! (300a, instead of 300b). The previous court-appointed attorney & the one I hired didn’t catch that? Nor did they even explain things to me, which is why I consulted with Carin. After accepting me as her client, & seeing how she works in the courtroom, I can say that I feel more at ease & worry-free, compared to before. I only wish I’d consulted with her sooner, So if anyone out there is looking for a great lawyer, I highly recommend Carin Johnson & her Firm, without a doubt!

I believe I called Carin on Friday evening, she agreed to meet with me that weekend. It was Sunday afternoon and her office was closed but that did not stop her she understood my urgency and arranged a consultation. That Monday was court and the next week my child was released back to her family. Carin asked me to trust her, and I did, I had no choice, I was at the mercy of her knowledge and experience. I have had a number of bad experiences with Lawyers and have come to believe all the ugly things people say about Lawyers. However, Carin shattered all those ugly remarks and showed herself to be loyal honest, and trustworthy. As of today if I have any legal matters I will consult with Johnson and Johnson first if they can’t handle my case. I will trust their recommendation. Thank you again and again, Carin

Carin responded to an immediate need quickly and professionally. While working diligently on my case she made me feel as if I was her primary focus and it put my mind at immediate ease. She backed all of her statements to me with strong case law, and always spoke in clear concise language. What I enjoyed the most (besides a favorable outcome to my case) was that she was always VERY quick to respond to any type of inquiry. I never once felt lost or alone. I knew that I was truly represented. I am proud to have her as my lawyer and would ask her to represent me every time.

Mrs. Johnson is not only a great lawyer but also a great person. She made me feel good and confident since the first time we talked on the phone. Mrs. Johnson took action right away and kept me informed throughout the whole process. She explains everything and breaks down whatever you have a problem understanding. Thanks to Mrs. Johnson and her great dedication to helping me in my case I am now done and over with my case. I greatly appreciate all the help Mrs. Johnson gave me and I know she will help others just as much as she helped me.

I had the pleasure of having Ms. Johnson assist me in a very difficult time in my life. With a child with behavioral and RAD issues, led to an unfortunate situation. It was probably the darkest period in my life but Ms. Johnson was nothing but fabulous of being caring to my personal concerns but extremely aggressive on resolution options to pursue. Through a well thought out process and plan not only were all legal items dismissed but I was able to reunite with my family and have a second lease on life. Ms. Johnson is caring, very very aggressive, and extremely responsive. She is very well known in the CPS circle and has a huge influence to drive decisions. I am blessed to be her client and friend forever.
