This is regarding one of their attorneys-Jeffrey Frasier!…read moreWhen my husband first contacted Jeff Frasier about our situation, Jeff told us that "we have a strong case." Based on the information and confidence he provided during that initial phone call, we decided to move forward with him. Unfortunately, we were led on for nearly two years before going to trial. Throughout that time, Jeff repeatedly told us that we would "get something" from the case. He continued contacting us by phone and email asking for additional information about the situation, and we continued being billed for his time. Nearly a year after the lawsuit began, we met with him once to go over what to expect with the arbitration process. As someone with no prior experience suing anyone or dealing with attorneys, I relied heavily on my attorney to properly prepare and guide us. Unfortunately, that meeting left me with even more questions and did not make me feel prepared for what was ahead. Jeff then sent a junior attorney to handle the arbitration. In our experience, she appeared inexperienced and unprofessional. She essentially sat in the room with us during the arbitration, and we were billed for her time and presence, which was very concerning to us. After nearly two years of legal bills, we finally went to trial. Unfortunately, Jeff did not appear prepared or knowledgeable about our case. During the trial, he stumbled through his presentation and became frustrated. At one point, the judge even told him that he was repeating himself. On the second day of trial, the judge issued a directed verdict, meaning the judge ruled in favor of the other side because our side had not presented enough evidence to support our claim. The outcome was extremely devastating, especially after being told at the beginning that we had a "strong case." After nearly two years, substantial legal fees, stress, and time invested in this case, we were left feeling that we had not received the preparation, guidance, or representation we expected from our attorney. In the end, we walked away with absolutely nothing--except huge legal bills. I am sharing our experience because potential clients deserve to hear what our experience was like before deciding whether to hire Jeff Frasier. Based on our experience, we do not recommend him.

I was in the difficult position of having to find a new attorney after my previous lawyer…read moreunexpectedly passed away, and I had less than six weeks before trial. During that time I contacted more than 75 attorneys and law firms hoping to find someone who could help. One attorney truly stood out -- Jon Friedman. Even though my case was outside the area of law he practices, he spent nearly 30 minutes on the phone with me listening to my situation and offering thoughtful guidance. He didn't rush the conversation and took the time to make sure I felt heard during an incredibly stressful time. That kind of professionalism, compassion, and integrity is rare. It was clear to me that he genuinely cares about people who are seeking legal help and wants his clients to feel understood and supported. Even though he wasn't able to represent me, that conversation left a lasting impression. If I ever need legal assistance in the future, Jon Friedman will absolutely be the first attorney I call. I have no doubt that anyone who becomes his client will have someone who truly fights for them.

The Johnston Law firm helped me immensely. After my injury due to negligence of the property…read moremanagement at the townhouse complex where my wife and I leased our home, I called Marc's office. I explained the situation over the phone, and Marc personally came to my home to evaluate the unsafe conditions that led to three broken bones. Marc didn't make wild claims or promise unrealistic compensation. He was honest about the challenges and costs of filing a claim, and if necessary, a lawsuit. My point being, that if Marc accepts your case, he does so because he sees legitimate legal reasons for your claim(s). The staff at Marc's firm was always professional, polite, and efficient. They responded to my frequent questions patiently, and explained legal terms in a way that I would understand. I highly recommend Marc Johnston and his team to anyone with a legitimate personal injury claim. They work hard for their clients.

I worked in legal prior and this is unacceptable service to a potential client. I am glad to see the level of service now before seeing what would happen after being retained. Have the proper staffing and procedures in place so that this doesn't happen in the future. This is not even close to 5 star service. Leaving a parent hanging after their child just came out of a horrific car accident is unacceptable behavior and that is why I am leaving this review.
