When you want your case done right the first time.
Our tagline, "When you want your case done right the first time," evolved as a result of continued client feedback expressing frustrations with past dealings with the process. Divorce is a difficult process. We are mindful of the emotional aspect as well as the costs involved with each case. Andrew P. Johnson, APC makes every effort to apply the right resources to each task so that we can keep costs at a minimum while still accomplishing your goals.
I am a licensed California Attorney and Certified Family Law Specialist with an office located in Vista directly across from the San Diego Superior Court. I am also a Certified Family Law Mediator and Judge Pro-Tempore in the San Diego Superior Court. In addition, I am a licensed family law attorney in Montana.
Over the past 19 years, I have represented hundreds of clients in court and through mediation. My experienced staff and I will get your divorce, mediation, or family law matter completed in a timely, efficient, and cost effective manner, with attention to the particular circumstances of your case.
I am one of approximately 150 Certified Family Law Specialists practicing in San Diego County. My experience and knowledge in family law is something that sets me apart from over 900 lawyers that practice family law in San Diego.
