    I cannot recommend Michael Johnston highly enough. From the very beginning, Michael was knowledgeable, professional, and strategic in handling my case. He took the time to explain the legal process, kept me informed as important developments occurred, and worked tirelessly behind the scenes with the Crown and opposing counsel to achieve the best possible outcome. What impressed me most was his ability to resolve matters quickly and effectively. Through his advocacy, my condition was successfully varied, and shortly thereafter the criminal charge against me was withdrawn. Michael also demonstrated a great deal of fairness and integrity. He was transparent about fees, treated me with respect throughout the process, and even adjusted his billing in recognition that his work on one issue had resolved another. That level of professionalism and fairness is something I truly appreciated. Facing criminal charges is one of the most stressful experiences a person can go through, and having a lawyer who is experienced, responsive, and genuinely committed to achieving the right result made all the difference. If you are looking for a criminal defence lawyer who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and an outstanding advocate for his clients, I would not hesitate to recommend Michael Johnston. Thank you again, Michael, for everything you did on my behalf.

    I cannot express enough gratitude to Mr. Johnston for the way he handled my serious criminal case — a time in my life when everything felt lost and I was mentally at my lowest. Thanks to his exceptional expertise and dedication, I was found not guilty in a jury trial and given my life back with a clean record. During the trial, even the judge referred to him as a “jury expert,” which later made perfect sense when I learned he had written a book on jury trials. His professionalism, deep knowledge of the law, and incredibly powerful closing arguments truly set him apart. If you are facing a serious legal matter, you need a lawyer who knows how to win in front of a jury. Mr. Johnston is that lawyer. I recommend him without hesitation. "When your freedom and future are on the line, you need more than a lawyer — you need a strategist, a fighter, and a jury expert. Mr. Johnston is exactly that."

    Micheal Johnston from start to finish was very helpful to me and family during a stressful time. He was able to get me off a DUI charge and plea to something less with no criminal record.I truly highly recommend his services as he was diligent throughout the process and communication was easy and thorough as he was able to help me understand everything throughout the process. If you are in need of his help seek Micheal Johnston, simple !

    I cannot thank Jeylan Davis and Michael Johnson enough for their exceptional service on my case. From start to finish, Jeylan was an absolute powerhouse—her professionalism, honesty, and skill in presenting the evidence were unmatched. She took every detail of my case and crafted a clear, compelling narrative that gave me complete confidence. Michael was also fantastic, offering invaluable support and insight. If the need ever arises, I would not hesitate to engage their services again. I’m beyond grateful for their dedication and expertise.

    I recently consulted with Michael Johnston regarding my son’s DUI appeal, and I was genuinely impressed with his professionalism and integrity. He was honest, forthright, and gave it to us straight—exactly what we needed, even though it wasn’t the outcome we were hoping for. He was also very mindful of costs and even provided a refund for the portion of the work that wasn’t needed, which speaks volumes about his ethics and commitment to fairness. He offered clear guidance and genuinely valuable advice that my son can carry with him moving forward. It’s rare to find someone who tells the truth upfront while still taking the time to explain the bigger picture. I truly appreciated his honesty, expertise, and transparency. Highly recommended.
