Since 1993, Robert W. Johnson has represented clients who have suffered personal injury or who have lost a loved one due to a wrongful death. He specializes in cases involving brain injuries, motor vehicle accidents and medical malpractice. His focus on brain injuries arises out of personal experience: his daughter, who did not receive enough oxygen at birth, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. As a result of caring for his daughter, Mr. Johnson understands the difficulties others face and treats his clients with empathy and compassion. In 2011, he established Johnson Jensen, LLP with friend and colleague Travis Jensen. Together, they commit their practice to a strong defense for the rights of those they represent.
