Mary Howard Johnstone Law Office

Mary did not listen to me in my divorce case. I am a retired teacher and her poor approach to dealing with my defense attorney husband resulted in me having to pay him $45,000. My name was spelled wrong in correspondence and my case was confused with other cases. I had requested a name change with the divorce and that did not happen. Fortunately my estate attorney discovered Mary had listed my home’s legal description incorrectly in the divorce decree, which would have been an issue whenever I went to sell it. It took months for Mary to correct HER mistake and then she attempted to charge me for it. I would say the whole process working with Mary was a comedy of errors, except that anyone going through a divorce knows how painful it can be and her ineptitude as an attorney made it so much worse. The divorce was in late 2021 and I’ve just now had the energy to write this. I wish I had the energy to report her to the bar. I regret using her as an attorney and feel sorry for anyone who does.

Took $200 to have her secretary tell me she wouldn't take my case! This was for a child support arrears case of $87,500 owed to me, & I have a ton of supporting documentation from the county. Mary wouldn't even call me like she said she was going to, even though i paid $200. So i paid $200 for Nothing what so ever! Her secretary was soo rude on top of it, interrupting me when i tried speaking. Would be zero stars but it won't let me... Update: in response Mary Johnson knew I had documentation from county for I told her so & I truly wouldn't consider my case "frivolous" in any way! Furthermore Mary did refunded my $200...

Mary Johnson is great to go to for an attorney. She works hard for you, goes the extra mile, and takes the time to explain things if you don't understand. Will use her in the future if I need law work done again.

Mary was so good to us in handling my divorce. She was patient and honest and earnest. I will recommend her to anyone who needs help.

Mary Johnson has an Elite Legal Mind. Her knowledge and application of the Law is second to none in Northern Mn. I feel so blessed to have had her on my side.
