BRAD JOHNSON
Attorney
After 24 years of active service in the United States Navy as a Hospital Corpsman, Brad Johnson retired as a Chief Petty Officer and resumed the pursuit of his childhood goal, a career in law. Beginning as a legal assistant in Dallas, he attended evening classes at SMU’s Dedman School of Law and graduated in 2008. Knowing that he intended to focus his practice on family law, he concentrated his studies in that area as much as possible, serving as the President of the Student Family Law Association and liaison to the Dallas Bar Association’s Family Law Section during his last year of school. He and his partner won the Jackson Walker Moot Court competition during his first year of law school, and he and his partner were regional finalists in the Client Counseling competition during his third year.
Brad’s practice has focused primarily on family law since being licensed, working as a solo practitioner, an of-counsel role with several local attorneys, and as an associate at a law firm. Recognizing that clients seeking help in family law are almost always experiencing significant emotional and psychological stress, he sees his role as one who can work to make a difficult time as easy and simple as possible for his clients. Recognizing that sometimes “easy and simple” are not possible when other parties are not cooperative, he is also ready to resolutely represent his clients’ interests in the courtroom when agreement cannot be reached any other way.
Brad also has a strong sense of responsibility to the community, serving as a Vice-Chair on the Dallas Bar Association’s High School Mock Trial Committee, collaborating on writing the case used state-wide every year and helping to run the local, regional and state tournaments. He also serves on the Dallas Bar Home Project Committee, funding and building an entire house every year in partnership with Habitat for Humanity. He has worked in the North West Legal Aid of Texas intake clinic in Garland for the last 10 years, and was named the Outstanding Volunteer from that clinic in 2012 and again in 2017.
