About
- G. R. Johnson Law, LLC is a personal injury law firm which has been handling personal injury cases since 1994
- Gary R. Johnson began his career as an attorney in Portland, Oregon, representing people injured in car accidents, and has tried and won many jury trials
- In 2003, he started leading the litigation department of a law firm in Bend, allowing him the opportunity to practice personal injury law while raising his family in beautiful Central Oregon
- He now uses his 20+ years of experience to ensure his clients are fully and fairly compensated for their injuries
- Above all else, I believe in fairness
- People harmed in car or slip and fall accidents should receive reasonable compensation for their injuries, and for the hassles they are forced to endure
- More and more, insurance companies are not honoring their commitments anymore
- That frustrates me, and makes me work harder to ensure my clients are not taken advantage of
- Fairness works both ways though
- I also believe people should not try to recover unreasonable amounts just because they were injured
- If you want an experienced personal injury attorney who will fight for your rights – and will fight harder when the going gets tough – I’m your man
- Hobbies My hobbies have included coaching my kids’ sports teams, downhill and cross-country skiing, road and mountain biking, kayaking, running, swimming, and competing in the Pole, Pedal, Paddle and local triathlons
- I believe that exercise is important for a healthy life and plays a vital role in helping people recover from injuries
