Criminal Defense
No matter what type of arrest or criminal charges you face, you can count on an aggressive and relentless approach from me as your Edmonds attorney in criminal defense. I will handle your state or federal case personally from start to finish, standing by your side throughout all court hearings and procedures. As a former prosecutor, I bring unique knowledge and experience of how the other side thinks and works. This can be a distinct advantage when handling cases ranging from the myriad complexities of DUI to accusations of domestic violence, drug charges, internet crimes, sex crimes, theft crimes, violent crimes, or white collar crimes.
I also provide legal help to those who wish to put the past behind them by vacating criminal convictions through expungement. Additionally, if you are a parent whose son or daughter has been accused of a juvenile crime, I can provide the guidance and advocacy you need when dealing with the Washington state juvenile justice system. Preserving and protecting your child’s future is vitally important and I am deeply familiar with the workings of this system.
Any criminal case can be a highly stressful experience for you and your family but I will stand by you as your case progresses, working tirelessly to defend your future and get your life back to normal.

Personal Injury
Personal injury cases are also cases determined in civil courts when a negotiated settlement cannot be reached between the two parties. At Johanson Law Group, Inc. I provide experienced legal help in seeking maximum compensation for the injuries you have suffered due to the negligence or wrongdoing of others. These types of injuries can occur in many ways, the most common of which are car accidents. In most cases, you will be dealing with the insurer of the at-fault party. It is vital to understand that these companies employ vast numbers of representatives and legal staff whose main aim is to reduce liability and payments to you.
Personal injury cases thus call for the services of an aggressive representative who knows how to deal with the tactics that may be used against you to deny or reduce your claim. I will thoroughly investigate your case to determine all parties that contributed to your injuries and aggressively pursue the compensation you need and deserve. Most claims are settled out of court. Should a fair and just settlement be unattainable, I will take your case to court fighting for the best possible outcome on your behalf.
