 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Nia Johnson highly enough. She handled the probate filing for my father’s estate, and from the very beginning she made an overwhelming process feel manageable.
I started out completely unclear about what needed to be done, but she took the time to clearly explain each step and guided me through the process as things needed to happen. She was very upfront about what to expect, both in terms of the probate process itself and her fees and filing costs, which I truly appreciated.
Beyond her professionalism and knowledge, she was also compassionate and understanding during a very difficult time. As I gathered and forwarded required paperwork, she was encouraging and supportive every step of the way.
If you’re looking for an attorney who is clear, honest, organized, and genuinely caring, I highly recommend her.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very glad to have someone on my team like Nia. Always a pleasure to speak with and always informative on any legal subject. She has always treated me as more than a client. I feel like family. We’ve been together since 2012 through good and some unfortunate situations but I feel as if Nia has guided me through every situation that I felt comfortable with the end results. Just feel like every instance that I needed legal assistance with Nia I felt like a winner.
