Testimonials
"If you ever are in a car accident and need someone to represent you in your case this is who you want. They genuinely care about you and what you have been through and will make sure you get the money you deserve for the injuries you have got from your car accident. I will always have this law firm represent me if I'm ever in a car accident and I will always refer this law firm to anyone I know that is in a car accident. The team is over the top in the best way. They are very responsive and good about keeping you updated on what's going on in the case. Thank you guys again for everything you have done for me."
“I highly recommend Marc and his team, they went above and beyond to help me, not on one, but two very complicated car accidents that happened back to back. They are very knowledgeable, experienced and they genuinely care for their clients. This is the best team you will ever find. I am very grateful that I found his office. From our very first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand. They are very friendly and responsive. I will always recommend Marc and his team at Johnston Law Firm to my friends and family. If you have been looking for a great attorney, you're at the right place!”
“Marc and team were fantastic to work with after my car accident. I continued to experience symptoms from the accident where another driver ran a red light and hit my vehicle at a high rate of speed, and I was not receiving the help I needed from my insurance company. I had never retained an attorney prior and was unsure of what to expect. Marc and his team were responsive, treated me with respect, and went above and beyond to get resolution and justice for me in this matter. As an example, when it became necessary to interpret medical records, they hired a nurse to advocate on my behalf to the insurance company and solicited second opinions from other doctors. Marc and team additionally worked with my hectic work travel schedule to meet and were flexible and patient with changes related to my work as an emergency responder. I offer my highest recommendation for Marc and Team as diligent, persistent, detail-oriented advocates for those in need.”
“In 2018, I was a pedestrian hit by a car in a crosswalk. At a loss for how to navigate this life altering accident, I turned to Johnston Law Firm. This law firm helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel for my case. Their service was astronomical - never more than a phone call or email away. The team took care to make sure I was getting the treatment I needed and that all the paperwork was being handled. There was never a moment of doubt that this team truly cared for me and my well-being post-accident. If you are injured and need help, definitely give this law firm a call!”
“I was in a car-bike crash in 2017. Being on the bike side of the crash, I received serious injuries requiring multiple surgeries. I initiated the insurance claim myself, which generated an enormous amount of paperwork. Quickly, a family member recommended I seek legal representation. Handing my stack of paperwork off to Marc Johnston and his team was very relieving, especially as I was recovering from injury and coping with the changes to my daily life that were imposed on me by the recovery process. Marc's team would check in frequently on me and my recovery, and make sure I had what I needed to get as close as I could to "normal". Marc and his team were also very proactive throughout this process. Having reviewed early settlement offers from the insurance company, I am assured that Marc successfully negotiated a favorable settlement to my case. During the negotiation process, Marc would check in with me to provide updates, and check in with what my interests were regarding timing, as successfully negotiating the highest possible settlement takes time. If you find yourself in need of a personal injury attorney, you would be able to put your mind at ease by leaving you case in Marc's hands.”
“I was rear-ended by a driver who was at fault, due to inattention. (My vehicle was stopped at the time of impact.) I sustained multiple injuries requiring three surgeries, months of various medical treatments and ultimately was left with permanent nerve damage in my back. Marc and his team were incredible! It took almost two years of navigating the process, but they walked me through every step and throughout it all, Marc and his team were communicative, worked hard for me and finally I received a settlement that was two or three times more than I expected. I cannot stress enough how great Marc and his team were. 10/10!!”
“We hired Mr. Johnston after my husband and I were in a hit and run car accident. Mr.Johnston was incredibly thorough and caring while getting us a fair settlement from our insurance company with minimal pressure during our healing process. I know that we would not have been able to get the same outcome without Marc and his team. We really appreciated having someone who truly cared about us, on our side every step of the way. I would highly recommend the Johnston Law Firm to anyone in need of personal injury representation.”
“In 2014 1 had both hands broken in a car accident. I wasn't sure what to do when I started to get letters from the drivers insurance company, forcing me to worry about my future and what I was going to do! So I sat down with Marc and told him my story. He understood and after that first visit I knew I needed his help. I made the decision to hire him, best thing I ever did. His firm made sure my rights were taken to heart. I received lost wages and when my employer informed me I could not come back to work due to my injuries, Marc was there to Help, he is easy to talk to and always keeps everything confidential. Insurance companies are not fun to deal with having Marc there to help made the difference. If you are having troubles and need a lawyer, call the Johnston Law Firm you will be happy you did. I now can go on with my life. Thanks Marc”

Personal Injury
What is
Personal Injury Law?
Also known as tort law, personal injury law covers many different types of negligence claims. Negligence is the legal term for carelessness. Under tort law, when a motorist is careless, or a store owner acts negligently, they can be held liable for paying financial compensation, known as damages, to accident victims. There are many different types of accidents caused by negligence under tort law but some of the most common are defective products, premises liability, car accidents, pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, and medical malpractice.
Due to the fact that most personal injury cases rest on the theory of negligence, victims must prove who the liable, or at-fault, party is. This is not always as straightforward as it seems. Our experienced personal injury attorney can determine who is liable for paying compensation, and for obtaining the full compensation you are due.

Our cutting
Edge Approach
Our firm is passionate about continued legal education, membership and legal institutes. But, even more importantly, we are committed to taking a cutting edge approach to personal injury law. One of the ways we do this is through focus groups and mock trials. Focus groups are incredible, and when done right, they provide incomparable insight into our legal strategies that only a jury would be able to provide. Some of the benefits of focus groups include:
- Providing a practice field
- Guiding discovery
- Revealing strengths and weaknesses
- Helping to fine tune strategy
When everything is on the line, the details matter and we’ve been able to see exceptional results for our clients by testing our approach using focus groups. This approach helps us choose the right words and visuals to effectively communicate the level of pain and suffering you have been through. Should your case go to trial, nothing will make your lawyer trial ready like a well executed focus group or mock trial.
Our Pledge To You
- Work on your case with the same diligence and drive as we would bring to a case for a member of our own family, Listening intently and providing compassionate legal support.
- Create a personalized case strategy.
