    Charges Dropped Without Court Hearing
    To the folks of Bloomington-Normal, I want to give praise to Attorney Douglas Johnson of the Johnson Law Group. I have two relatives who were recently arrested for assault and battery. Counsel Johnson said he would do his best to prove their innocence. Well, he outdid his promise by getting the charges dropped without ever going to any court hearing, thus saving them a lot of time and money. I can only think this dismissal is due to his professional relationship forged with county prosecutors. I believe such expertise extends to his co-counsels in the Champaign, Decatur, Peoria, and Springfield areas. Thank you so much for your help.
    Al Drantz
    Kevin is a great trial lawyer.
    Kevin is a great trial lawyer. He saved my brother's life. I highly recommend him to anybody.
    This Dude
    Case Was Ultimately Dismissed!
    I recently encountered a situation in which a client required legal representation for a battery charge. I am not a criminal attorney and found that the Johnson Law Group was highly recommended. I contacted Mark Johnson on a weekend, and he promptly responded. Mark Johnson and Douglas Johnson aggressively worked on the case, and the case was ultimately dismissed! My client and I could not have anticipated such an exceptional outcome. The Johnson Law Group exceeded all expectations. From the first call to the end result, the Johnson Law Group demonstrated outstanding skill, expertise, and professionalism. I would highly recommend the Johnson Law Group to anyone, from the simplest criminal matter to the complex.

    A Firm That I Trust
    This is a firm that I trust. I specifically recommend Brendan Bukalski. He is extremely professional, calm, and well mannered in the courtroom. He assisted me for several months on a difficult case and was able to negotiate with the state's attorney for a desirable outcome. He was consistently available and knowledgeable for all of my questions.
    Seth D
    Extremely Positive Experience
    Had an extremely positive experience with the Johnson Law Group. The attorney (Alex Kurth) clearly laid out the options, negotiated a plea deal in a very timely manner that met all of my expectations, and was there to actively support me through the final steps of the process. The legal assistant (Holly McCann) kept me abreast of the status throughout the entire process and was kind and courteous. I am 100% satisfied with the outcome in what started out as an extremely stressful situation. Well done, Johnson Law Group.

    He Is Absolutely Phenomenal
    I am so thankful that I chose this team to handle my case, and I highly recommend them to anyone trying to find a lawyer! The first person I spoke to when inquiring about a lawyer was Brendan, and right away he was very kind and informative. Alex is who handled my case, and he is absolutely phenomenal. He is so kind and genuine, and made me feel supported. He achieved the best results possible—no charges pursued. As someone who was in a domestic violence situation, I am so thankful to Alex and his team for helping me close one of the hardest chapters of my life and be able to move forward. Thank you so much again Alex, Brendan, and Holly as well!

    Dawn is the absolute best
    Worked with Johnson Law Group after I made the largest mistake of my life. Dawn is the absolute best, and answered every single one of my questions in a timely manner. I was able to speak with my attorney when needed, and they were able to guide me through a very lengthy and complicated process, but made it as easy and simple as possible. I would recommend them to anyone who made the same mistake I did, and I thank everyone in their offices for their time and assistance.

    The way Johnson Law Firm handled this was flawless
    I was in Springfield for a couple of days. I was wrongfully arrested and charged with resisting arrest. I asked the officer if I was being arrested or detained. He refused to answer. Without any respect for the law, the officer became frustrated with me exercising my rights. After several times asking the officer the same question, he decided to pull out his taser and told me if I don’t put my hands up he is going to use force. Once again I asked the same question within my rights. The cop immediately holstered his weapon and came up to me and started handcuffing me. He then told me I’m going to jail for resisting arrest. I wasn’t even read my Miranda rights. I called Mark Johnson and he jumped right into action. No charges were filed and I didn’t have to show up for any court dates. The way Johnson Law Firm handled this was flawless. I highly recommend Johnson Law Firm. I have used them any time I have issues with law enforcement. Thank you, Mark Johnson, for your service. It’s people like you who actually CARE and will make a big difference in our justice system.

    Great Service I Would Recommend
    Johnson Law Group worked very hard to get two of my criminal charges dropped at once. I didn’t even need to show my face in court. Also, I’m an out-of-state resident, so they’re very useful for out-of-state residents. Great service. I would recommend Johnson Law Group to anyone. MVP: Attorney Mark Johnson.

    We Put Our Trust in Him, and He Delivered!
    I wish there were more than 5 stars to give! Mark Johnson took our first phone call on a holiday, eased our fears, and said he could help my son. We put our trust in him, and he delivered! My son ended up with a favorable result and we would recommend Mark to anyone with serious legal ramifications to call him before you make a choice in legal representation.

    Outstanding Experience with Doug Johnson
    I had an outstanding experience working with Doug Johnson at Johnson Law Group. He was thorough, honest, and incredibly effective in handling my DUI case. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, my charges were drastically reduced, and the outcome was far better than I expected. Doug and his team kept me informed every step of the way and made a stressful situation much easier to navigate. I’m extremely grateful for his work and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled and reliable attorney.
    Dana
    This was a great outcome for his case.
    Doug was able to convince the State to dismiss the non-probationable mandatory prison offenses and also allow my son to plead to a misdemeanor so his registration would not be for life. This was a great outcome for his case.
    Jennifer Donaldson
    I felt like I was in good hands.
    I never thought I'd need legal representation, and when the need presented itself I was unsure what to do. After consulting other firms, I happened to get a call back from the Johnson Law Group. I knew right away that I'd be choosing them. Everybody I spoke with was amazing. I had the pleasure of working with Holly and the founding partner Mark. From the first phone call to the last phone call, and the emails between, I felt like I was in good hands. I will always remember that first in-person meeting with Mark. He was very thorough, he did not try to speak over me, and he asked questions that left me feeling human. That my words mattered to him. He took his time explaining the legal process to me. I left the office feeling calm, that I was no longer navigating things on my own and in the dark. I knew that I had a group advocating for me, and that they would not give less than one hundred percent. Though I did not get the chance to meet Holly, most of the email correspondence was through her. All of the good things I've said apply to her as well, and I wanted that to be recognized. Although there were times I didn't hear from the firm for a while, I knew this was because they were giving it their all. Not once did I feel forgotten about. For anybody reading this review, consider reaching out to them as soon as you can. Their service in representation was more than worth it for me, and I trust they'd advocate for you just as hard. Mark, Holly, and everyone else who worked on my case. I know I've said thank you many times already, but I truly can't put into words how much I appreciate you all. Thank you for your kindness, your patience, and for all of the hard work. I am glad to have had you by my side.

    Doug did not disappoint.
    I found myself in a situation needing an attorney to represent me. I had seen the Johnson Law commercials many times and never thought I would need their help, but I found myself in that situation. From my first phone conversation with one of their attorneys, I was extremely impressed and made the decision to hire them. I met with Doug on my first court date and immediately felt confident in his ability to help me. Doug did not disappoint. I wish I had not needed the help, but my experience with him could not have been better. Doug helped me come out with the very best outcome and I could not be any more pleased with him and his staff.

Thank you, Johnson Law!
