Johnson Law Firm is a client-centered criminal defense practice led by Attorney Brian Clay Johnson. I stand by one very important principle – that every person is entitled to assert their rights, no matter what they have been accused of. Whether you’re facing misdemeanor charges or serious felonies, our approach is simple: listen carefully, investigate thoroughly, communicate clearly, and fight relentlessly for the best possible outcome
I represent people charged with any felony or misdemeanor, including:

- Assault
- Acts of domestic violence
- Violent felonies
- Sex crimes
- Firearms law

I measure success not only by favorable results in court, but by how supported my clients feel throughout a stressful process. Former clients tell me I brought them peace of mind through a combination of tough representation and practical solutions. My goal is to make sure your future is as bright as possible, no matter what has happened in the past.
If Convicted, The Penalties Could Be Life-Changing
I understand that this is a stressful time, and you are probably under extreme pressure. However, you should understand that the costs of your crime could be more severe than you think. If convicted, you may face a host of consequences which may include:
- Prison time
- Extensive fines
- High court costs
- Probation
- Drug tests
- Sexual registry for sex offenders
- Trouble finding a job (employers typically conduct a background check)
- Problems locating housing
- Loss of voting rights
- Loss of the right to bear firearms
When you work with my firm, I will help you identify and understand the unique potential consequences of your criminal charge. Together, we can create a plan to pursue the most favorable outcome. In some instances, this may mean fighting the charges at trial. In others, it may mean negotiating a resolution that minimizes negative consequences. My experience on both sides of the courtroom allows me to give you honest and straightforward advice about your options. From your first call through the final disposition, I will keep you informed and fight to defend your rights.
