Personal Life Why Douglas G. Johnson Became an Attorney

Unlike many attorneys, Johnson did not grow up wanting to be a lawyer, and he did not spend all of his life in school before entering the profession. Even now, Johnson thinks of himself as an ordinary guy who practices law because it's how he is best able to help people, support his family, and because he is good at it.

His life before law school best describes who he is and also helps to explain why his law practice is focused on litigation.

Growing up on a small farm in eastern Oregon, and working in the farming, timber, and construction industries, made hard work and integrity a basic part of Douglas G. Johnson's life from a very early age. Often the youngest and newest guy working on tough crews, he learned quickly that in this life you better be willing to fight for what is right or others will take it away.

Later, serving as a volunteer missionary in South America, he saw first-hand the injustices suffered by some people who, as individuals, had no ability to stand up to large corporations and governments that tended to trample all over the rights and lives of ordinary people when no one stood to their defense. Living and working in western Alaska showed him that the same thing often happens to rural Alaskans, as well as those on the road system.

Education & Early Experience

Johnson went back to school and graduated from Oregon State University and then Willamette University College of Law. Even before graduating, Johnson began working for one of the best litigation law firms in the state of Alaska. As one of only three attorneys in the firm, he was immediately plunged into hard-fought legal battles against the largest corporations in the state, and against the state itself. Winning those battles taught Johnson that hard work, integrity, and a willingness to fight for what is right - the values he learned before law school - can bring justice to individuals even when battling against huge oil companies, the insurance industry, product manufacturers, and the government.

Mr. Johnson and his staff were remarkable to work with! They were both professional and yet very down to earth. They made me feel a part of their family and would often check in on me! In fact, Jennifer even went out of her way, sending cards to me well after my case had been resolved! I would highly recommend them! Jennifer Koontz
