What Our Clients Say
Aaron Neal
Eric was invaluable as counsel during my divorce. Not only was he able to explain the process to me. He helped me through each step making sure I was going in the best position possible in terms of protecting my rights.
AI
Not only is Eric’s interaction with the court very professional and smart, but Eric is very prompt and responsive to me and the court. He was right on top of issues that came up with opposing counsel and he pushed opposing counsel to speed up their responsiveness so that my case didn’t go as long as it might have.
Stephen & Brittany Carroll
We have each worked with many family law attorneys over the years. Eric Johnson stands head and shoulders above them all. He is razor sharp, impressively timely and efficient, knows the law and legal system. We enthusiastically recommend him as your family lawyer.
April Young
Eric was helpful from the first time we met. I value his passion, honesty and straightforwardness whenever I had questions or concerns. He made it possible to settle quickly with the desired results. I will always recommend him to anyone in the unenviable position to need a family lawyer.
Andi Rider
I am thankful I found Eric Johnson. I looked for months to find a lawyer who would fight for what I wanted. He did. I still go back to him today with any issues or questions that I have regarding my divorce.
