Client Reviews

  • My husband and I retained Ms. Johnson's services to petition for a misdemeanor charge to be expunged from his record. We live in Florida and had to manuver through this process at a distance. Despite the distance, Ms. Johnson or her staff kept us informed of the status of the case as it progressed and more importantly got his record expunged. We were so excited to not have this record following him aroung any longer. We would recommend Ms. Johnson without reservation!

  • Lauren had a very reassuring aspect about her that made it very easy to let her handle the case. If anything were to go wrong with anyone I am associated with, she will be the lawyer of choice.

  • Hi, Lauren. You really are a rising star. I just want to say thank you so much. I give you and your office 5 stars.

    Mr. I. Theft case dismissed.

  • I contacted Lauren for an alleged violation of a restraining order. Ms. Johnson represented me on this matter, reviewed all the evidence and made a strong commitment to understand the finest details of my case, without leaving any stone unturned.

    Ms. Johnson is very familiar with all the court procedures and how to go about such a case. After a few court hearings, my case was dismissed due to lack of evidence and fabricated stories from the opposing party to cause harm to me. I am very grateful for the professional representation I received and would recommend Lauren.

    Mr. M. A Criminal Defense client.

  • Following an unfortunate domestic incident in which no charges were filed, my wife and I unexpectedly found ourselves involved in a Child Protective Services investigation. We began to hear absolute horror stories about good people's lives and families being turned upside down by the Social Services Agency and we were very frightened. Thankfully, I was referred to Lauren Johnson and sought her immediate counsel. From our first phone discussion and meeting through my SSA appointment, Lauren consistently provided a world of calm and supremely experienced advice which enabled me to navigate the consequence laden waters of Child Protective Services, ultimately resulting in a case which was deemed inconclusive and closed. Lauren's knowledge, professionalism and responsiveness are unmatched, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal counsel. Thank you Lauren for helping to give my family and I our lives back, I don't know what we would have done without you!

  • Lauren Johnson was amazing. She explained everything in ways that were easily understood, & answered all of my question. She was respectful, but also open & honest. She started work on my case the first day we met & got results quickly. She demonstrated passion, concern, and showed true feeling for my situation. My expectations were greatly exceeded. I would say she has an incredible attention for detail, & has a real dedication to her work.

    Lauren Johnson would be my first recommendation to any of my family or friends similarly in need of legal assistance.

She handled a difficult dependency case for us in Children's Court of East Los Angeles. Her counsel and support were excellent, along with her depth of knowledge in law and procedures. Her tenacity and persistence make her an excellent advocate, one who not only stands by you and with you, but also fights ardently on your behalf. I most highly recommend her to anyone who needs outstanding counsel and representation in any legal or court matter.
