Gerald D Johnson Attorney At Law

Reviews

Where to start! this is a review that's been earned over a 10+ year time frame. I've been represented by Darren and his team on multiple occasions. this last time went to trial. I've never witnessed anything like it. i felt so confident in my representation ,I didn't realize the trial was over. i knew that if anything did not go in my favor, it would NOT have been fault of my legal representation. i wish i could give you guys 100 stars. words cannot describe how grateful i am to have you on my side. thank you for all your help and everything you guys do. Id Recommend Darren to anyone needing legal help. Great to work with and the level of professionalism is unmatched.
This circus is definitely not the place to go for an attorney especially if it’s Darren Pekny! If you’re looking to get a pair of big floppy shoes or a big red nose this is the place to go! He continually stated wrong information because he was too lazy to look through court documents. I watched him literally get proven wrong and lose arguments against a guy who doesn’t even have a law degree. If you want to waste your money this is your guy!
0 out of five if it was allowed. No communication skills. They were literally waiting for me to finish talking to impress me with their fancy legalese. Don't waist your time keep looking.
Have used this firm for both LLCs I've been a part of. Mr. Johnson has been patient explaining everything we needed to know and Wendy has been prompt and attentive to our questions. Our paperwork was completed in a timely manner and at a reasonable price. We started with another attorney who was good but way too expensive. We also love they are downtown, close to home and work.
People hear horror stories about awful representations and have experienced frustration, even anger towards their attorneys. I have felt this way about my previous attorneys who represented me in court in the past. But this time, I was fortunate to have met and had an attorney who stood by me, listened to me, understood me, and had compassion for me. Did I win my legal case? No, I didn’t. In family and divorce litigations, no one wins. The parents lose, and the child(dren) involve loses. No one wins in a broken family. But I want to highlight the service and representation I received from my attorney, Jamie Cooper. In my opinion and experience, I thought she was a phenomenal attorney! She is intelligent, knows the legal field well, understands the system, follows up, a quick thinker, and a rational attorney. I have made some suggestions during my legal battle. Jamie heard my voice, concerns, and frustrations. She understood where I was coming from. But instead of giving in to my every single request, she continued to give me wise counsel and led the proceedings the best she could for my good. Some of my observations about Jamie were that she has a good instinct about people. She spoke with our family therapist and used that encounter to guide our next step. It wasn’t what I wanted to hear, but I had to trust her instinct and counsel and believe she had my best interest. I am glad I did! She was wise with her instinct about her opponent- my ex’s attorney. That attorney was no match for my attorney, Jamie Cooper. She knows how to proceed with caution, aggressively, wisely, and rationally. One of the things I liked about Jamie was that she saw me as a person and a loving and good parent. She recognized my aching heart and my longing for my child, and my wanting peace with my ex. Jamie did not take advantage of me like other attorneys would, but I truly felt her sincerity representing me. Attorneys are perceived as heartless and money/power greed. Many attorneys do not have a good reputation. In legal proceedings, you want a wise attorney to represent you and be your voice. But clients also want an attorney that has a heart. An attorney that is still human who feels and cares. Emotional intelligence is also an important factor for me. Again, I was fortunate to have Jamie Cooper as my attorney, voice, and representative. She is more than five stars! Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, Jamie! Mari Cris
