Services
Johnson Brothers Law is a small town law firm with deep roots in the community. Jesse A. Johnson and Samuel V. Johnson were raised in Chisago City and graduated from Chisago Lakes Senior High School. Both are licensed to practice law in the state of Minnesota. Both are active within the community. They sponsor local activities and organizations as well as larger organizations such as Ducks Unlimited and the Minnesota Deer Hunter Association.
I grew up locally in Chisago City. I am a graduate of Chisago Lakes Senior High School. I graduated from Hamline School of Law in 1999 and obtained my first legal job as a law clerk for a judge in Hibbing. In 2000 I moved back to Chisago County and started my own practice. I handle primarily criminal cases, both in adult and in juvenile court.
I grew up in Chisago City, MN and graduated from Chisago Lakes High School. I lived in Duluth as I earned my undergraduate degree and worked as a server and bartender. I lived in Lowertown-St. Paul as I finished my law degree at William Mitchell. I now live in Chisago City and share a law office with my brother, Jesse Johnson.
A criminal charge is not just nerve-racking, it can also be life-changing. Many people do not know what to do or make a mistake and turn what may have been an outright dismissal into a conviction. As such it is critical to protect your rights and interests if you have been charged with a crime. Reach out to our Chisago City, Minnesota, attorneys as soon as possible.
Relationships sometimes go sour. Often arguments are filled with passion, emotion and anger, and they escalate to one or both of the parties calling 911. Law enforcement responds and typically makes a judgment call on whether to make an arrest and who to arrest. These cases are complicated by the fact that there is normally not an independent credible witness.

I Highly recommend Sam Johnson. Perhaps the thing that impressed me most about Sam was nothing was "sugar coated". He was very straight forward and told me what to expect each step of the way. Going thru the Custody from start to finish, Sam kept me informed of each step and what the options were and what the risks were. There were no empty promises made just to keep the client happy which I know sometimes occurs when seeking counsel. Sam made the process so much easier and gave me peace of mind in a stressful but successful outcome.

Samuel is an excellent attorney with a very level approach. He seeks to determine what the focus is for each client and then encourages his clients to make wise decisions. He then guides and represents his clients with their best interest in mind and utilizes the best practices to achieve those goals. Highly recommended!

Sam was my lawyer for child custody and he did a very thorough job and made sure he had a good understanding of my background of my situation with the custody agreement we had set before. He was able to give me advice on things that I didn’t even think about. He is a good lawyer and he is very professional as well. He made sure everything was done on time and made sure I was aware of what was going on. I have recommended him to a few people now and they have all had amazing results as well.

Jesse is a very thorough, down to earth, well-connected attorney in the area. His expertise in criminal law is quite apparent and unparalleled in my opinion. My outcome far exceeded my expectations. I was referred to Jesse from a knowledgeable source and will highly recommend him to others without reservation. Thanks Jesse!

Sam is an excellent family lawyer. Very down to earth, no nonsense kinda guy. He doesn’t paint a rainbow, he tells you what’s most likely going to happen, And that’s what happens. He helped me through a very difficult and unusual time, with the grace of someone who knows exactly what they are doing. He cares about the people of the community, and not the profit. I highly recommend him. I’m sure his brother is really good too.

Jesse Johnson & his brother Sam Johnson are two of the most hard working, honest gentleman I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Even tho my experience with Johnson Brothers Law has been limited to traffic violations, the end result was always positive, fair & unbiased. In all honesty, I couldn't see myself being represented by any other firm.
