My son was injured-a concussion from a metal sign falling on his head at an arcade. My wife and I felt confident after each phone call with Justin as he took great care in explaining what was occurring, what we should expect, and what are the next possible steps. He stood up for us against two different businesses that were at fault for my son's injury and got us the best possible outcome. Caleb and Victoria were both helpful and supportive when it came to us needing to gather documentation and scheduling. We highly recommend Johnson Law firm as they are a top tier law firm with heart. Everyone we spoke with showed us compassion and we felt like they truly cared about what happened to our son as well as getting him his due."

"Justin did an amazing job with my case throughout the 2 years we've had to go back and forth with the insurance company as well as my work (as I work for Kaiser). I was 36 weeks pregnant with my son when we were hit from behind on the hwy. It ended up totalling both cars. We had to rent a car until we bought a new car. I had my son the next day due to the car accident. I had to be on disability for a while. My husband and I had to go to a chiropractor for a year. We had to get injections for neck and back pain. Eventually, I had to get neck surgery. We are pleased with how thorough Justin and his team were for us as well as how easy they made it for us. They took care of us and we wouldnt go to anyone else if something like this was to happen again to us or anyone else we love. Choose this company if you want to be taken care of."

Thankfully I changed my mind and started looking into an attorney. I was given a card to Justin's practice, and after an initial phone call, they took it from there. They got my medical bills paid for, and a nice settlement for my troubles. Everything was done via phone call and email, and I only had to go to the office to sign a release and pick up the check. Justin's assistance Curlyn was professional and courteous. Justin was communicative and let me know exactly what was happening throughout the process. If you are unfortunately in a car accident, call Justin right away!!!"

Why Justin Founded Johnson Law

Justin founded Johnson Law, P.C. with the belief that injured people deserve direct access to experienced counsel, personalized attention, and representation that is prepared for trial from day one. He built the firm around a client-centered approach that combines responsive service with sophisticated litigation strategy, so each client receives the attention and advocacy their case deserves.

Justin began his legal career in Minnesota and Alaska, where he gained hands-on litigation experience while still attending law school. During that time, he served as a claimant representative in employment discrimination mediations, worked as a deputy prosecutor, and clerked for a personal injury law firm. These early roles provided valuable courtroom exposure and a practical understanding of how cases are investigated, evaluated, litigated, and resolved.

After relocating to Oregon, Justin joined a Portland-based civil litigation firm focused on personal injury law. There, he represented injured individuals in a wide range of matters and litigated dozens of cases through dispositive motions, arbitration, trial, and final judgment.
