Minnesota Attorneys
Your Friends In Law
At Johnson/Turner Legal, we know that serious legal representation starts with a question: "How are you?"
Too many law firms reduce their clients to "just another case."
Not us.
We understand that behind every case, there's a unique person or family with dreams and doubts. We're not just here to proof-read legal documents or help you protect your rights in the courtroom. We're the shoulder you can lean on when things get rough or you feel lost.
Don't believe us? We get it. Lots of lawyers like to offer empty platitudes to prospective clients.
Not us.
At Johnson/Turner Legal, we don't do things like other law firms. And we put our money where our mouth is.
Our team members are your "friends in law" for legal matters including:
Contact us online or call (651) 371-9117 today for a consultation!
Our flat-fee pricing model ensures that when you work with us, you know up-front how much our services cost. No hidden fees. No worrying about how much we're going to charge you for another call or some extra paperwork. When you work with us, you pay for our services, not our time.
As our client, you won't just receive help from an experienced Minnesota attorney. You will have a team including your Client Engagement Specialist, two Paralegals and a Life Coach. If you've got a question, someone on our team—your team—will have the answer.
We know that life goes on when you stop working with us. That's why we offer a life coach to help you prepare for life beyond your case.
Our unique, team-based approach and flat-fee pricing come together to create an exceptional experience for our clients. Thanks to flat-fee pricing, you can get to know your team without worrying about how much you're being charged for phone calls or consultations. Having a variety of experienced legal professionals at the table ensures you receive an honest, realistic case evaluation and case strategy tailored to your specific needs so you can move forward with confidence.
Whether you're buckling in for a contentious divorce with an estranged soon-to-be-ex or preparing for a calm, amicable mediation with a co-parent, our team has the tools to help you navigate your case.
The foundation of Johnson/Turner Legal is simple. We believe that clients deserve more from law firms, so we created a law firm that offers just that: more.

Our Core Values
Teamwork. Innovation. Community. Knowledge. Compassion.-
TEAM
Our employees are the key to the success of our clients, and ultimately of the firm. We strive to create a culture that instills a sense of belonging. We want to provide our employees with a safety net, which empowers them to take risks and make leaps, while knowing that others will support, assist and, if need be, catch them. Maintaining a firm culture of shared vision, open communication, positive work environment and friendships will foster a cohesive team of professionals working together to champion the successes of our clients, our community partners, and the firm.

INNOVATION
We believe the legal industry needs to break free from its stale and uncreative practices in order to serve the needs of today’s clients. We seek to lead the way in revolutionizing the way consumers experience legal representation. We strive to reinvent all major facets of the delivery of legal services, including how we involve our clients in our representation through information sharing and communication, how we produce legal documents, manage cases, and price our services. We understand the challenges that come with innovation, and strive to support one another’s new ideas.
-
KNOWLEDGE
We strive to ensure that our attorneys and staff are fully versed in their practice areas to provide our clients the best advice and representation. The knowledge necessary to do so includes not only mastering the letter of the law, but also understanding trends in the interpretation and application of the law. We are life long learners who know there will never come a day when we have all the answers. We nurture and rely on our strong network of relationships within the firm and beyond. We study; we reflect; we converse; and we challenge one another. Our depth of knowledge sets us apart.
-
COMPASSION
We all experiences life’s challenges, whether as part of our day-to-day routines or as a result of an event or transition in one’s life. Johnson/Turner Legal strives to help its clients and the legal profession rise through such challenges. Whether by pursuing fairness and justice, by solving problems or by bringing new perspective, Johnson/Turner Legal is dedicated to building trust and providing comfort.

COMMUNITY
We are a service organization, helping people through challenges and transitions in their lives. Our work must extend beyond our clients to champion the success of our colleagues, friends and the communities at large in which we live and work. We work to improve our communities through volunteerism and leadership.
