We live out of town and was dealing with a situation in which our child needed legal assistance. Thank goodness I came across the wonderful reviews for Mr. Keith Johnson. I called Sheena, his assistant, who got all the information needed and told us she would call back after consulting with Mr. Johnson. Within days, Sheena called with good news helping us get a few things accomplished. She even called the following day to be certain we had not run into any problems. Within one week, Mr. Johnson called us with additional good news that all had been handled. Needless to say, Keith Johnson is our forever attorney in Augusta if we should ever need additional legal counsel. Mr. Johnson was professional, quick, and very easy to talk with.

I called SEVERAL lawyers the day after the incident before I turned myself in and Att. Keith johnsons office and Sheena was the ONLY ones to answer my call so I immediately trusted Mr.Keith and his entity to help me get through the process comfortably to protect my rights and prove that what the state was trying to accuse me of was not
