1 /5 Sidney: If you are a female, I highly discourage this firm. Especially Andrew S. Johnson. To file an eviction they were going to charge me $1500, so I did it myself, for maybe $50. I did not need a lawyer but I wanted one since it was against family. He was quick and vague with questions about the situation and simply stated “I know what I need to do”. I couldn’t find another lawyer so this is the best I could get. He arrived in court to never negotiate to the judge about my case. Instead he pulled the family member aside and asked what they wanted and that’s it. I told him if I had to pay I’d like payments split up but he never tried to negotiate that either. He knew I had the money to pay them and took it as an easy win on his part because he knew how nervous I was about the going against family. The family member already had 90 days to be evicted from the property and he got them an extra 60 instead of negotiating with the judge as he should have. I practically paid him $1500 to accept the deal my tenant had already offered me and give them 60 more days to move out. Losing me thousands of dollars and time. Ladies, find a caring female lawyer to help you out. That lawyer is here to take advantage of you and earn an easy pay day. Or don’t be scared and let them take advantage of you, that’s one thing I regret.
Another odd tidbit, right after the decision had been made in court he then started to ask me very detailed specific questions. Things he should’ve known before the case and could have leveraged to the judge. Anyway, odd behavior. He knew he wasn’t going to try and make me accept the deal that was already offered. If he knew my case had no chance of being argued then he shouldn’t have taken that case.
