I was in an at fault car accident I found JR online called he got back to me promptly he made me feel at ease and was very confident that he could help. on the day of court I watched as he talked to the police officer and I knew the case would get dismissed. I highly recommend JR because he exudes confidence and experience and creates favorable results for his clients.

I was cited for 67 in a 45 (22 over). I was greatly worried when I reached out to Jerrell Johnson, I could not be any more pleased with the outcome. Mr. Johnson new exactly what to do, he provided great advice and action I was to take in preparation for traffic court. The charge was reduced to Non-moving violation, and as are result no negative points applied to my license. I could not recommend an attorney higher than Mr. Johnson.

Life often put us through situations where we can grow spirituality and mentally, however I would have never thought in a millions years that we would be put in the position to where we had to defend who we are as a family to complete strangers. Being relatively new to the state it took us by surprise. My family and friends were devastated. My family was put through the ultimate test. Mr.Johnson was definitely heaven sent. He fought the battle with us every step of the way. Mr. Johnson fought with wisdom and compassion but what I appreciate about him the most is that he always answered when we

I called around to many attorneys searching for the right one. I had many to choose from but after speaking with Attorney Jerrell I was pretty much locked in. Attorney Jerrell was very nice and compassionate about my situation the morning that I received my ticket. He told me what he could do and that’s just what he did. He got my wreckless driving ticket knocked down to a regular speeding infraction! I couldn’t have selected a more professional and trustworthy Attorney! Thanks for all that you do! Keep up the great work!

Kate picked Atty Jerrel Johnson because she read all the excellent reviews and now she knows why he has all those great reviews. He is an excellent, highly competent lawyer. Atty Johnson represented her in a misdemeanor charge for a traffic violation. Her case was dismissed and we owe it to him. We also want to point out that with his fee being reasonable, what matters most is the quality of service he provided, and the way he treated her with kindness, respect, and supportive attitude. His professionalism, expertise and competency are just the tops. We highly recommend Atty Johnson to everyone

Mr. Johnson was extremely polite, professional and knowledgeable about the legal system. He represented my son in a traffic matter and made him feel comfortable and at ease with the process. He was able to get my son's case dismissed which was extremely valuable for my son who has never had any legal issues.
Thank you Mr. Johnson!
