I put the law to work to help my clients get what’s fair. To do that right, I have to first understand what each client has gone through so I can then help them start moving forward, despite all they’ve endured.

In his practice, Partner Jason Johnson steps in with clients who have been harmed and helps them begin to put their lives back together. Jason knows that hiring an attorney is something many clients never imagined having to do. He takes the time to understand the unique circumstances of each case, explain how the law works, and guide clients through their options along the way. Then, he fights for an outcome that allows those he serves to get justice so they can begin the next chapter of their lives. Jason’s clear communication and resolute view of the law makes him a strong voice for clients, in both local and national complex cases. Jason’s effective representation has earned the respect of colleagues, courts, and opponents as well as multiple recognitions, including being named Member of the Year by the Minnesota Association for Justice.
