The Law Office of David C Johnston is a general practice law firm dedicated to helping clients find solutions across a wide range of legal matters, including business, real estate, estate planning, estate administration, family law, civil and/or business litigation, among others.

Many attorneys and the law firms they own and work for tout their focus on one particular practice area. They promote their in-depth experience and insight that their peers may lack. Those lawyers provide a valuable service and often provide high-level representation that benefits their clients facing serious legal challenges.

At the Law Office of David C Johnston, we take a different approach to the practice of the law. We believe that the legal profession should be about developing relationships with all types of clients by providing quality and results-oriented legal representation. We operate a general practice law office, something many attorneys have moved away from over the past few decades. There was a time when people had their own lawyer, just as they had one banker, priest/minister, or other people in a certain profession. Those longtime, if not permanent, relationships were based on trust. People knew that they were going to be treated fairly and charged fees that reflected the services they needed.

Whether a case involves a real estate problem, will and trust matter or divorce, we take a similar approach. We are not looking to grind out every penny to turn a profit. Focusing on the outcome sometimes results in modifying our legal fees if the results were not what we wanted. Simply put, that philosophy is who we are and how we operate.

We generally do not farm cases out to larger law firms in either California or Oregon. The attorney you meet with is the attorney who will be handling your case from the initial consultation to the final outcome.
