An attorney's level of experience matters! There has been an unbroken string of my Michie ancestors practicing law in central Virginia since the early 1800's.   I’m proud to carry on this tradition, and during my own 30+ years of legal experience, I've been honored to be chosen by multiple lawyers and law professors for legal representation of themselves or their family members.  I've also represented a starting quarterback at UVa.. Let me put my experience to work for you.

After 12 years in a variety of large law firms, Mr. Johnson formed  his own firm to serve the transactional legal needs of private companies and entrepreneurs in Virginia.. His areas of expertise include merger and acquisitions, venture capital financing, lender/borrower representations and general corporate counsel.  Mr. Johnson's firm combines his years of "big firm" experience with a rate structure that is attractive to entrepreneurs and privately held companies.. Mr. Johnson was formerly a partner in the Corporate Finance & Securities Section with the law firm of Williams Mullen. He is a member of the Virginia Bar, the State Bar of Texas and the Charlottesville Albemarle Bar Association.. Prior to law school, Mr. Johnson worked for six years as a commercial banker for a national banking organization.

A graduate of UVA Law School, he began his career primarily engaged in commercial transactions, securities law, federal taxes, estate matters and real estate development. Due to the needs of the firm’s clients for representation in court, over the years his law practice has concentrated more heavily in trial work. Those early years provided a solid foundation in a variety of substantive areas of law that are very valuable in understanding the often complex issues arising in divorce cases and property and commercial litigation.. He has represented persons who have been injured in automobile and other types of accidents and is a member of the Virginia Trial Lawyers’ Association. For over thirty-five years, he has represented community owner associations in Central Virginia.. DISCLAIMER: CASE RESULTS DEPEND UPON A VARIETY OF FACTORS UNIQUE TO EACH CASE. RESULTS FROM PREVIOUS CASES DO NOT GUARANTEE SUCCESS OR A FAVORABLE RESULT IN FUTURE REPRESENTATION.. In addition to his trial practice, Mr. Buck is experienced in appellate litigation and has made many appearances before the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals of Virginia. He was the successful attorney in the landmark cases of Leake v. Casati, which established the principle that partition suits are unaffected by municipal subdivision ordinances; Lake Monticello Owners’ Association v. Ritter, establishing the principle (later codified) that the common areas of property owners associations should not be taxed separately; LMSC v.SCC, establishing the rule that privately owned utilities should be taxed according to their fair market value, not original cost; and, reversing 20 years of divorce law cases, in Gilliam v. McGrady, regarding presumptions as to debt incurred during the marriage. As a result of the decisions in both Lake Monticello Owners’ Association v. Ritter and Gilliam v. McGrady, the General Assembly later changed the state law.
