Biography

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.
