Ms. Johnson's litigation experience is incredibly varied; she represents many businesses who have relied upon her advice and counsel for many years. She values her relationships with her clients, and prides herself on being readily available as a resource when needed. In cases where litigation becomes necessary, her goal is to promptly evaluate, discuss and strategize on the best approach to achieving the client's goal, which many times involves mediation as a way to resolve cases. By way of example only, Ms. Johnson has handled litigation matters involving employment matters that run the gamut of discrimination claims, negotiated and/or litigated non-compete agreements, and handled claims for deceptive and unfair trade practices. She has also handled matters of probate litigation involving claims for breach of fiduciary duties, litigated matters of undue influence, removal of trustees, and claims for breach of contract; litigated real estate disputes (e.g., partitions and specific performance), and overseen health care related litigation matters. Her extensive experience also makes her a very successful mediator and arbitrator who lawyers choose to use on a regular basis.
