"Reed Johnson was legitimately a 10 out of 10 attorney for me. One of the things I appreciated most was that I was actually talking to Reed the whole way through. I wasn’t constantly getting passed off to interns, assistants, or somebody who barely knew my case. If I had a question, Reed got back to me fast. He was easy to talk to, very professional, and just made the whole process feel a lot less stressful. I didn’t have health insurance at the time, so getting the right treatment could have been a real problem. Reed made sure I was able to get treated and that everything was properly documented without me having to come out of pocket up front. As the case developed, he made sure I got to the right specialists and that the medical side of the case was handled correctly. What I appreciated most was that there always seemed to be a reason behind what he was doing. He wasn’t just processing paperwork and waiting to see what happened. He was actively running the strategy of the case and explaining things to me along the way. Whenever something came up, he handled it. I did a lot of research before choosing an attorney, and Reed stood out for a reason. He knows how to handle a serious personal injury case, he is sharp with the strategy, and he still takes the time to actually talk to his clients. I never felt like just another case number. If you’re looking for a personal injury attorney and you’re trying to figure out who you can actually trust with your case, call Reed and talk to him. I would absolutely use him again."

"In October of 2025 while on my bicycle at an intersection waiting for the light to turn green I was rear-ended by a vehicle woke up in the crosswalk the ligaments in my right hand were completely destroyed. I would like to express my gratitude and sincerity of heart for the professionalism the integrity and the level of service displayed by Reed and his associates. They truly care about their client. Initially the insurance company dug their heels in and desperately tried to hold back but through his expertise and negotiations he not only got me a fair settlement. I walked away with much more than I expected I would recommend him to everyone I can't thank him enough and if I ever need services again he is definitely who I will turn to thank you Reed. It was a pleasure to work with you and get to know you truly an amazing law firm. Best regards Dave Sullivan"

"I got into my first accident and it was the most stressful thing I ever had to deal with. The first month or 2 I couldn’t even get a hold of anyone from my insurance or get my car repaired. Finally insurance contacted me and immediately tried settling with me even though I was asking where I could seek care and get my vehicle repaired. I immediately did my research and came across Johnson law and spoke with reed about my case. I am so thankful to have found Johnson law and Reed took care of everything so I didn’t even have to speak with insurance and get pressured, Reed was Amazing and kept in communication with me on every update. Extremely happy with Johnson law and reed."

"Got into a small accident and claimed diminished value from other party's insurance. They refused to negotiate in good faith and gave me a paltry offer. I contacted Reed Johnson for assistance and he took great care of me. Excellent communication, timely responses, thoroughly explained the process, and told me exactly what he needed from me. Most importantly of all he delivered results, got me very close to the full assessed diminished value with a relatively quick turn around time. Would recommend to friends and family if the need arose."

Client-Focused Injury Advocacy

Reed Johnson is a partner at Johnson Law, P.C., where he represents people injured by the negligence of others. Reed's practice focuses on helping clients navigate the pressure and uncertainty that often follow a serious crash and other injury-causing events.

Reed believes that the best legal representation starts with listening. People often come to him while they are still in pain, still receiving medical treatment, and still trying to understand what the insurance company is asking of them. Reed's role is to help clients slow the process down, understand their options, protect their health, and pursue a recovery that reflects what they have actually lost.

His approach is practical, direct, and client-focused. Whether a case is resolved through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or trial, Reed prepares with the same goal in mind: to make sure his client's story is heard and that the outcome accounts for the real impact of the collision on their life.

A Work Ethic Forged in Alaska

Reed grew up in the interior of Alaska, where long dark winters, outdoor activities, physical work, and harsh conditions shaped his sense of drive, discipline, and persistence. Before becoming an attorney, Reed worked long hours in home construction, helping build houses from the ground up. That experience taught him the value of preparation, endurance, and seeing a job through until it is done right.

He brings that same work ethic to his legal practice. Injury cases can be stressful and unfamiliar for clients, especially when they are dealing with medical care, lost time from work, vehicle damage, and insurance adjusters. Reed helps clients understand each step of the process, gather the information needed to support their claim, and make informed decisions about what is right for them.

Client-First Philosophy

Reed's philosophy is simple: people deserve clear answers, honest advice, and an advocate who is willing to do the work. Insurance companies move quickly after a crash, and injured people are often asked to give statements, sign releases, or consider settlement offers before they fully understand their injuries or legal options.

Reed helps clients avoid those early mistakes. He guides them through the claim process, helps them document treatment and losses, and works to pursue full financial recovery for the harms caused by the collision.

A major component of the client-first philosophy is making sure clients get the treatment they need to be able to move on with life. Reed believes strongly that finding the right medical team can make all the difference as a client recovers from injuries, and he uses his experience to get his clients to the right doctors.

The "Make Whole" Philosophy

"I dedicate my time and energy to advocating on behalf of those that have had a loss because of the negligence of others. I will always find time to talk and discuss how best to make you whole following a motor vehicle collision."

— Reed Johnson

Experience Against the Biggest Insurance Companies

Reed has represented injured people in negotiations, arbitration, litigation, and trial-court settings. His background includes experience taking on large defense firms and insurance companies, and he understands how to build leverage by preparing each case carefully from the beginning. This includes gathering the right evidence and helping clients find the right doctors.

Education

Reed is licensed to practice in both Oregon and Washington. He earned his J.D. from Seattle University School of Law and his B.A. from the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Outside the Office

When Reed is not in the office, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters, working on his house, and getting outdoors. He can often be found fishing, hiking, biking, or any other activity his kids can think of.
