Testimonials
He goes the EXTRA MILE
“Edward Johnson III is an excellent attorney. I had retained him for a legal issue in the summer of 2014. He was very responsive, attentive, demonstrated strong comprehension and concern of the details regarding the issue at hand. He is very thorough in his work, a hard worker, a consummate professional and goes the extra mile to make sure that justice is properly dispensed for his client. I was very pleased with his work and the peace of mind I gained by having Edward Johnson tackling the legal issues I was going through. And all in all, his work paid off and judgement was won in my favor. He will always get my recommendation.”

“I recently was caught speeding in a construction zone and was coming off a speeding ticket from a few months earlier. I knew a major implication and a hefty fine was coming my way. Edward David Johnson stepped in and was able to reach a plea agreement with minimum fine and four month supervision in one court date.”
