Justin Johnson is extremely knowledgeable and is a true professional. When needing legal counsel in civil litigation matters, I would highly recommend him. Justin has tremendous litigation experience. But Justin’s true value is his ability to explain complex processes and procedures to not only his clients, but to a jury. Why is this important? Because if people understand and relate, they will be more likely to listen and follow. Justin is prepared, willing to put in the time and money to be successful and is responsive. Choosing legal counsel to protect your interests is critical. Choosing Justin is the right choice!

Justin C. Johnson and Associates in my opinion is one of the best legal practices I know in the Tampa Bay Area. Thorough, professional, tenacious are three of the terms that come to mind when I think of them. This personal injury practice always comes prepared and does not cut corners. I would recommended them to individuals looking for professional legal representation. Five stars...

We often find ourselves looking for a lawyer in the midst of fear and negative emotion, in the aftermath of tragedy. In our darkest of days, it is most critical to remember that finding the right representation for those who we love the most, involves more than consideration of past results. It’s easy to read about a firm’s biggest wins and tally up their achievements, but the algorithm includes other, more important, variables. Justin Johnson has an impeccable record of success to show for a lifetime dedicated to litigation. His résumé speaks for itself. Even his brilliance is overshadowed, though, by his most impressive strength—his humanity. His compassion, his integrity and his kindness set him apart from other winners in this field. He takes joy in designing an approach to each case that will bring the best results for all of his clients, not only financially, but emotionally, and he takes great pride in effectively representing those who depend on him to guide them in the pursuit of justice. The energy he invests in his work requires great personal sacrifice and discipline, but Justin makes it look easy. He inspires nothing but confidence in his integrity and his careful approach to every detail. There is no better professional to put your loved ones at ease during times of chaos and uncertainty. Many lawyers can win, but few listen and support their clients with such genuine intensity and sensitivity. Thank you so much, Justin, for taking such excellent care of my parents during a terrible time.

Having problems? Hurt from an accident but look "fine" to everyone? Getting stressed over it all... what do I do, what about my accident, why me, why is the insurance company being so nice, why why why? You're not alone, my family was in an accident, a life changing one, one of those lose your career, lose your peace of mind, etc etc etc... That was us --> me especially because I was the driver and I saw the gigantic RV crest the hill and not slow down as traffic abruptly stopped... next think i knew the entire back end was demolished and 3 days later I was back to work in agony, aware but in a fog, a co worker at the time asked if I had gone to the Dr yet... "no" but my insurance company says... "Paul looks at me and says STOP" call my friend Justin, he may be able to help but first please go see your Doctor.

Justin C. Johnson & Associates are exceptional! They represented me in a head on collision case with a tractor trailer where I was blamed and it wasn't my fault. The insurance company hired Tampa's biggest law firm but they were no match for Justin's team. Justin had the will to win and knew how important it was to my family. It was amazing to watch Justin in action in court, he was like Superman. The day my family walked out of the courtroom, our lives were never the same. Though I could no longer do my job we've not had to worry about a single bill. We've stayed in touch ever since and hope to remain friends always.

Justin Johnson's law firm is the very best in the Tampa Bay area. A personal injury case is an emotional journey. I wanted a team to do more than just guide me through. Justin provides such a high level of experienced negotiating skills you know you have hired the best. I highly recommend you put your trust in Justin Johnson.

I was in a car accident where my vehicle was struck from behind. I was in a lot of pain and feeling unsure of what to do, so I reached out to Justin Johnson and Associates for guidance. The whole staff is amazing at this office, but i worked closely with Kevin Cooper specifically. He was very responsive to my needs and questions, and he was always very supportive of my concerns. I felt extremely cared for, and I highly recommend anyone looking for answers/guidance after an accident..big or small..to reach out to this firm.

I have worked with Justin for many years and have found him to be very clever, strategic and a bright personal injury attorney. He works exceptionally hard preparing his legal cases and typically always wins.

My dear sister was a passenger in a boat on Lake Lanier in Georgia and sustained life-threatening injuries.

The family at her bedside interviewed Georgia attorneys and I insisted that Justin fly up for them to meet in person and it was unanimous to hire Justin who temporarily joined the Georgia bar so that he could practice law and file suit and Georgia.

Before trial ,Justin recovered 100% from the drivers of each boat for $2 million.

This covered all my sisters medical expenses and provided income for the rest of her life.

My sister was a lifelong wonderful nurse and our family will be forever indebted to Justin and his outstanding staff.

My Aunt was in a bad car accident and her own insurance company would not pay to help her, after decades of timely premium payments - a very common practice I understand. I recommended her to Justin Johnson because of his reputation as aggressive and the best in the area. He and his team know how to take on insurance companies and make them pay for true and valid injuries, instead of getting away with calling everyone a “fraud,” as they sit back and collect premiums. My Aunt was well taken care of by Justin and his firm after he fought her insurance company to do the right thing. My family cannot thank him, Elizabeth, Kevin and staff enough.

I sat at the trial table with Justin throughout my mothers trial. The insurance company was saying terrible things about her that were not true. She had been through 3 surgeries, due to her accident. She could not handle that stress. Justin was able to get a verdict for over 12 times the Insurance coverage and made Allstate pay every penny of it. It gave my mother her dignity back and she was able to focus on getting well and recovering from her injuries. Our family will be forever indebted.

I was born and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida and had always heard good things about Attorney Justin Johnson. I slipped and fell in a restaurant and did major damage to my teeth. He took care of me promptly and I’m very happy with my settlement. I highly recommend Justin.

Lyn Orns

5.0/5.0

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Justin and his entire staff. I thought my accident would be the most stressful time of my life when it happened, and having Justin’s team handle everything for me was the best decision I’ve ever made. I was kept up-to-date throughout the process and never had any questions go unanswered. I highly recommend Justin to anyone I know!

I was cheated out of 1/2 of my settlement money by attorney. A trusted friend of mine sent me to consult with mr Johnson. He helped me to get me all my money back and didn't charge me a penny! I will definitely recommend his firm to everyone!

My husband and I were severely injured by a drunk driver. We were very fortunate to be referred to Justin C. Johnson & Associates. They took care of all insurance related issues and did everything they could to ensure the best outcome for us. They were always available to answer questions and kept us up to date on the status of our case. Elizabeth were very caring and compassionate throughout the whole process. Justin and his entire office have our gratitude, and we highly recommend them.

Excellent!!! I contacted Justin C Johnson & Associates when all the "fluff" attorneys turned me down because they didn't think my case was equitable enough for them. I got a call from their staff who set up an appointment for me to meet with their attorney Kevin Cooper. They treated me like I was their most important Client and within 3 months had a full settlement offer for me! I highly recommend them for all of your personal injury cases and while I hope I don't have a need to use them again, I will only use them again if the need arises. Thank you Justin C Johnson & Associates Kevin Cooper and Dawn!!! Best firm ever for personal injury!

Jacqueline Evans

5.0/5.0

I highly recommend Kevin Cooper at the Justin C. Johnson law firm. My vehicle was rear-ended and the insurance company would not agree to pay more than $100 for the vehicle’s diminished value. Kevin was able to help me to obtain a fair settlement and I am very grateful for his efforts and expertise. Kevin is one sharp attorney!

Attorney Johnson took a case that the insurance company was hesitant to even settle and was able to change there minds. It really is remarkable how much he and team can accomplish and change lives. I highly recommend Justin and his staff. They are very understanding and sympathetic.

Attorney Johnson and the complete staff made a very tense and harrowing experience so much easier to tolerate. That is not an easy task to do in most situations. I find Attorney Johnson a compassionate and caring lawyer. He also has an acute intellect that showed through in all the negotiations. I am forever Grateful To Justin.

Over ten years ago, my wife was in a what appeared to be a small accident that turned into a major neurological disorder. My attorney, Michael Keane, Esq. told me "you must go to Justin." So glad we did. It changed our lives to the best possible circumstances. Justin has been there ever since no matter what the problem.

Selecting Justin Johnson and his Team was a pure blessing compared to the first Law Firm I selected before moving to have Justin’s Team handle my family’s case. This whole process was new to me, and did not know what to expect.Once I met Justin and his Team I was actually pretty impressed. Again, not knowing what to expect, I was treated like a Rock Star. The presentation to me on why I should hire Justin’s Team was well thought out, and not like some Used Car Lot disguised as a Law Firm. Justin’s Team did the intel and the recon necessary before actually meeting me face to face. I would always refer to Justin’s Team as Seal Team 6 of Law Firms when talking to friends and family about the Firm. Long story short, Justin put my family’s case on a fast track, and was resolved in about 2 years. Justin’s Team took on a heavy weight hired by the insurance company a couple months before trial after firing a large Tampa insurance defense firm. Justin’s team went toe-to-toe with this new super lawyer team in the courtroom for a three-week jury trial. Although, it was not a knockout, the defense was certainly knocked down several times and the results were satisfying. TV lawyers never try cases. I looked at his list of cases and the numbers and I couldn’t find them anywhere else. These guys are the real deal. Today, Justin Johnson and his Team are considered family. They follow up years later to make sure my family is well. If you want to be blown away, and watch how a law Firm should tackle a case against an elephant in the room, contact Justin Johnson and his Team. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. It was tremendous to watch that team in front of a jury.

Our family experienced the worst kind of tragedy imaginable. Justin and Kevin got our family through the legal part perfectly, but the emotional part even better.

Jeffrey Davison

5.0/5.0

If it was not for Justin and his associates, I would not be in the comfortable place that I am today. No one else would take my case because they did not believe they could win. When I spoke with Justin and his team they assured me that they would do whatever it takes to bring Justice to my situation. I was not very hopeful because of all the other firms told me it's a no-win case but to my surprise, Justin and his team came through with flying colors. Not only did they win my case but they treated me with professionalism and respect and always kept me well informed.

I would personally recommend Justin and his team to be there for you when no one else will. Thank you very very much for all of your hard work and giving me my life back. You guys are the best!

Justin and his firm have represented my extended family over the past 20 years. I've watched his trials and he is the best. He has great trial partners. What most people don't know is, if Justin's firm represents you in a personal injury case, you will always be considered a client and his firm will be there for you years later on unexpected stuff. I've seen this again and again. I would recommend them to any family.

Justin has represented me and my family for over twenty years and has always taken the best care of us no matter what the case or whether there was any money involved. I have referred Justin’s firm to probably a dozen people and I think everyone of them have come back to thank me. I would recommend him to anyone in my family or anyone I care about.

Jack Carey

Justin Johnson is one of the best trial lawyers in the state. I am an attorney in St. Petersburg and have had several occasions over the last 20 years to observe Justin's trial preparation, trial skills, and attention to client's every need. His skills are masterful. I hope I never need an injury or wrongful death attorney- but if I did , I would call Justin.

I have known Justin for the past 40 years. His commitment to his clients is matched only by his dedication and loyalty to his friends and family. Should I ever find myself in need of legal representation there is no doubt who I would turn to.

An unscrupulous water damage company promised my mother that her insurance would pay for a busted water heater and the water damage that it had done.
My friend told me Justin Doesn't do those kind of cases but he'll probably help your mom who was afraid she was going to lose her home after Lein was put on it.
Kevin Cooper one of Justin trial lawyers actually took the unscrupulous contractor to trial and got a judgment removing the lien ,damages recovering attorneys fees and costs.
I can never repay him for the peace of mind it gave my mother
