Johnson helps clients address important legal decisions involving family relationships, children, property, aging, incapacity, and the affairs of a loved one who has died.
Attorney Johnson began his legal career as an assistant Wayne County prosecutor and has spent more than 30 years in private practice. His work now focuses primarily on divorce and family law, estate planning, probate, elder law, guardianships, and conservatorships.
DIVORCE AND FAMILY LAW
Divorce and family disputes can affect a person's home, finances, property, children, and plans for the future. Attorney Johnson represents clients in Michigan divorce and family law matters involving property division, child custody, parenting time, child support, spousal support, separation agreements, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, personal protection orders, and post-judgment modifications.
Every family is different. Attorney Johnson works directly with clients to understand the people, relationships, assets, and practical concerns involved in their case. He explains the Michigan family court process, helps clients evaluate their options, and provides experienced representation as they work toward the next stage of their lives.
ESTATE PLANNING AND ELDER LAW
Estate planning helps individuals and families prepare for future changes involving property, finances, healthcare, incapacity, and the care of loved ones. A thoughtful estate plan can communicate a person's wishes, identify trusted decision-makers, and make future responsibilities clearer for family members.
Attorney Johnson assists clients with wills, powers of attorney, advance healthcare planning, guardianship planning, and related estate and elder law concerns. These services can be important for adults at many stages of life, including parents of minor children, older adults, caregivers, families of people with disabilities, and individuals preparing for the possibility of illness or incapacity.
PROBATE AND ESTATE ADMINISTRATION
When a person dies, surviving family members may need to locate and file a will, open a probate estate, identify assets and debts, notify heirs and other interested parties, address creditor claims, and distribute property according to the estate plan and Michigan law.
Attorney Johnson represents personal representatives, heirs, beneficiaries, and families in Michigan probate and estate administration matters. He helps clients understand the probate court process, their legal responsibilities, the documents that must be filed, and the steps required to administer and close an estate.
GUARDIANSHIPS AND CONSERVATORSHIPS
A guardianship or conservatorship may be needed when a child or adult cannot independently make certain personal, medical, or financial decisions. These proceedings may involve minor children, adults with disabilities, older adults experiencing incapacity, or individuals who need assistance managing their property and affairs.
Attorney Johnson helps families understand Michigan guardianship and conservatorship proceedings, the authority that may be granted by the probate court, and the ongoing responsibilities of a guardian or conservator.
ADDITIONAL LEGAL SERVICES
Drawing on decades of experience in Michigan courts, Attorney Johnson also accepts selected criminal defense, DUI, and juvenile matters. These cases are considered individually based on the nature of the legal issue, the needs of the client, and the office's availability.
