The Johnson / Turner Legal Team
At Johnson/Turner Legal, our team is committed to providing each and every client with best-in-class legal services.
We assign an experienced Minnesota Attorney, two Paralegals, a Client Engagement Specialist and a Life Coach to every case, ensuring that you receive the counsel and compassion you deserve. We want our clients to be successful long after we're out of the picture, and our unique team-based approach enables us to achieve that goal.
Additionally, we use a flat-fee pricing model, so you know up-front how much our services cost. The last thing you should worry about is hidden fees or consultation costs. Flat-fee pricing is just one more way we empower our clients to navigate their cases with confidence.

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.
