What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it
LFL Verified 2026
Every eligibility gate this firm's state allows us to check has been checked and held: licensure, discipline, entity, website and footprint. Certification additionally requires a score of 70.
No public discipline
No attorney this firm names appears as the respondent in any of the 457 published discipline decisions of the Supreme Court of Oregon on the conduct of Oregon State Bar members, 1951 to 2017. Published decisions record what has been decided, so this covers a disbarment or suspension on the record and not whether a registration is current today.
4.9 average over 169 reviews
A high rating is easy at low volume and hard to hold at this one. Pillar C scores it against the market rather than against five stars.
Service in Spanish
Published by the firm on its own pages, which is how this was measured rather than assumed from a name.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Johnston Law Firm charge?
Johnston Law Firm publishes a contingency fee, which means the fee is a share of what the case recovers and there is nothing to pay if it recovers nothing. The rate itself is not published, so ask for it in writing, along with how case expenses are handled and whether they come out of the recovery before or after the fee. The first consultation is free, which is the place to ask.
Does Johnston Law Firm offer a free consultation?
Yes. Johnston Law Firm publishes a free initial consultation. The intake line is published as open around the clock and it publishes material in Spanish.
Where does Johnston Law Firm have offices?
Johnston Law Firm publishes one office, in Portland. Addresses and the Google listing behind each one are on this profile under Offices.
Who are the attorneys at Johnston Law Firm?
Johnston Law Firm names two attorneys on its own site, and each is listed on this profile with the page we read them from. They have not been checked against a state register: Oregon does not publish an attorney register we can query, so licensure is not verified here. The state's own attorney search is the place to check it.
What has Law Firm Listings verified about Johnston Law Firm?
Johnston Law Firm scores 56 and sits at Verified. Passed: discipline, entity registration, website and footprint. Could not be answered from any public source and therefore counts neither for nor against the firm: licensure. Every row of the scorecard above names where the value came from and when it was read. Nothing on this profile was supplied by the firm for payment, and no placement here can be bought.

Johnston Law Firm, P.C. has earned these 9 badges. They are free, they are not for sale, and each one links back to this page so anybody can read the evidence behind it. They are also live: the file is rebuilt every time we re-measure, so a badge on your site says what is true today rather than what was true the day you copied it.
