I also love getting out when I can, taking in a show at one of the many great theaters in Minneapolis and St. Paul, or just getting together with friends at the local brew pub.

I’m Josh Johnson. I provide first-rate Minnesota legal representation at reasonable rates. I have extensive experience in the 12 counties in and around the Twin Cities Metro area, and have represented hundreds of clients in criminal defense, personal injury and bankruptcy cases.. If you have been injured in an auto accident, charged with a crime, or need advice about debt or bankruptcy, call me - initial consultations are always free.. I received my Juris Doctorate from William Mitchell College of Law and my bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin – Madison. I am admitted to the Minnesota Bar and to the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, and am a member of the Minnesota State Bar Association and the Ramsey County Bar Association.

I'm a business attorney who is client-focused, results-driven, and thouroughly enjoys "the process."  Licensed to Practice Law in Minnesota, I am also a published author on the topic of Public Benefit Corporations in Minnesota.. I bring a breadth of international and local business experience to the legal industry. I have worked abroad in Prague, Czech Republic teaching legal and business English at multinational corporations such as Philips, Abbott Laboratories and O2, international law firms and local Czech businesses.  My entrepreneurial success operating a language and consulting studio in a foreign country sets him apart from other attorneys, as I understand many of the issues and concerns facing startups and aspiring entrepreneurs. Despite my consulting background, I am not one to tell a client how to run their business. Rather, I present legal analysis, recommendations and options that allows the client to make a well-reasoned decision.  I also write articles - scholaryl, legal, practical and funny.. My practice is focused on business law and litigation, corporate governance, commercial transactions, and non-profit organizations.. I enjoy hockey, baseball, football, and spending as much time on the lake as possible.

I represent individuals regarding all aspects of the employment relationship: providing advice to current employees, prosecuting claims for victims of discrimination, and counseling and advocating for individuals with severance issues or non-compete obligations.

I have represented immigrants from all over the world, and from all sorts of occupations. What I have learned from my many clients is that we are all people together. Our shared humanity transcends many cultural and language differences.. I work hard as your lawyer to understand you:  to understand your needs, your goals, your hopes and your dreams.  By working hard to understand who you are, I am a better lawyer in meeting your immigration law needs.. U.S. immigration law is a complex area of law. Laws and policies and procedures constantly change. You need a lawyer who keeps up with the changes, and can help you navigate to the conclusion of your case.  Let me help you do this, as you seek to achieve your U.S. immigration goals.

I have MOVED TO THE UNITED KINGDOM!  Ergo, I have closed my law practice after over a decade.  I have really enjoyed working with all of you, and helping you.  I wish all of you, attorneys and clients, the best as I begin my new adventure.   My law practice was based on... I am very selective accepting cases.  Most of my cases are referrals, but some touch my heart and I take those cases too.  I am always thrilled to help people to be able to join other family members in this country, or to obtain citizenship.  It is an honor and a privilege. I truly care about my clients.  It is my job to help people, and they are depending on me to guide them in navigating their way through a system that can be full of confusing signs, roadblocks, and stop signs.. I prefer to prepare petitions thoroughly based on my strategy to use a good offense.  Why?   I like to close a file the first time around-- if possible.  If a case has already been presented, and evidence is missing, it can be the best strategy to file a new petition with additional evidence that can't be introduced on appeal of the earlier denied petition.. The rules are there, and I advise clients to follow them.  Many potential clients believe that the rules don't apply to them.   The rules apply to everyone, even though the enforcement, processing, and outcomes vary-- and truly seem "unfair" when the immigrant or USC/LPR petitioner believes he/she is on the short end of the stick.  However, the facts, jurisdiction, laws, evidence, and so many variables come into play-- and a lawyer can advise, assist, prepare, and present, but cannot be a fortune-teller on the outcome.  The process can seem long, but it can be an eternity if done incorrectly the first time.  So, the long way is the short way!. Document EVERYTHING!  Photocopy and keep copies of everything.  Be ready to produce documents if asked-- even if you've already done so-- with a smile.  It's easier to close a file by providing the KEY to the lock, than trying to smash open the box (that's a metaphor!)
