The Johnson Partnership was formed on 1st July 1990 and since then has grown to be one of the largest criminal law firm in England and Wales. Of the 10 people who walked through the door on the first morning four remain, even though one is currently on sabbatical. Bill, Chris and Digby remain as partners but they have been joined by the fourth first day member Emma Eardley who on the 1st July 1990 was our office junior. Since 1990 The Johnson Partnership has attracted more than its fair share of media exposure. In 2002 the partnership was the centre piece of the major channel 4 documentary series “Partners in Crime”. Our high profile cases and unusual working arrangements mean that we’re never far from the public eye. Many of our solicitors have appeared in the media and we are often called on by the BBC, ITV News and local radio to provide expert comment on criminal law issues. You can read more about our media work here. We also have a strong commitment to our communities and sponsor many local groups and activities Read more...

Euan represented our young person who was faced with multiple charges. He quickly got to grips with getting to know the young adolescent. He organised the professionals, booked appointments, and kept us informed throughout. We achieved the outcome we wanted with the courts. Absolutely brilliant solicitor, approachable and very knowledgeable.

Shannon was very welcoming, kind and understanding as we were very nervous. She represented my son and was very professional. She took us through everything and made sure we understood what was happening. Without Shannon my son would probably not of got the outcome we did, so we will be eternally thankful. She is a credit to your firm.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Emma Eardley for her outstanding work on my son’s case. Thanks to her tireless efforts, expertise, and dedication, we were able to avoid the devastating prospect of youth custody for my child. Her professionalism throughout the process was impeccable. She kept us fully informed every step of the way, ensuring we were aware of all aspects of the case and answering any questions we had. Her attention to detail, clear communication, and genuine care made an incredibly stressful time more manageable. I cannot thank her enough for her support and for fighting so hard for the best outcome for my son. She truly went above and beyond, and we are deeply grateful for everything she has done.
Have a great Christmas and New Years Emma x

All throughout the crown court process Angelika was amazing always available on the phone to help with questions concerns and support in the months leading up to appearence! Which is just what you need when going through this stressful time when you've made mistakes when life goes wrong. Such a great company I will not let my friends or family use anyone else now for any legal advice and support! Always had amazing support over the years from Chris Perry, Donna Purseglove, Digby Johnson, Chris Brewin and now Angelika Witask! Thanks to Johnsons for always being there when we need them!

Couldn’t recommend Ellie enough she was absolutely brilliant I was extremely anxious she did everything possible to keep me calm she heard me out and understood all the way through she watched all the evidence I had and was continually reassuring all the way through the interview I was a little tearful due to it being my terminally ill mothers birthday (I should of been at her birthday meal) Ellie understood all of this and spoke to the officer tried to get the interview over as quickly as possible for me so I could go and see my mum Ellie was personally so kind understanding she put me at total ease her work was thorough and professional her advice went above and beyond she explained to me straight away that I was threatened first and had acted out in self defence in fear I was going to be attacked by a man she told me to explain all this through the interview and express genuine emotion throughout Ellie even checked in afterwards to make sure I understood everything correctly and ask if my mother had a good birthday this was greatly appreciated all of her work throughout was thank you again Ellie

Ellie helped my husband in a really difficult situation and offered him appropriate advice and counsel. She made regulated contact and was open and honest throughout. The case is not yet resolved so no definite outcome but she has really offered a professional service thus far.

Just seen the last review and I couldn’t agree more! They have been looking after me since last August and they haven’t put a foot wrong. If you want a solicitor you shouldn’t look any further than Rob Keeble and Amanda Parker at the Johnson Partnership!

Cannot recommend this firm highly enough. I want to give them more than 5 stars. I've listened to my friends moan about their solicitors for years, but these guys were just brilliant! They always came back to me within minutes, explained things so i could understand them, listened to my ideas, did everything i asked them, couldn't have done more! Thank you SO much guys.

The Johnson Partnership is one of the largest criminal law firm in England and Wales. We've achieved that status by being the best. We provide 24 hour emergency cover to handle arrests and interviews, and our team can take you through every part of the criminal justice process. Most cases begin with an arrest or interview by the police. If you are going to be interviewed you should always have a solicitor with you. It is free so you won't have to pay anything, and with our specialist team of police station advisors we can make sure you receive the best advice, whatever time of day or night. If the police believe that you have committed a crime then you may be charged and have to attend court. We have a dedicated team of solicitors who can represent you in court and advise you about the best course of action. Our advice is always personalised to you, to what is best in your individual situation. We will make sure that we explain everything clearly and help you to make the right decisions about how your case should go forward. Although the majority of cases are dealt with in the Magistrates Court some cases go to the Crown Court. We will help you decide whether that is right for your case, and if it does then we have a specialist team of Crown Court advocates and caseworkers who will conduct your case for you. We always work as a team with you. We will explain all the options that you have and how your case may go forward. Our goal in every case is to get the best possible outcome for you. As well as our general criminal teams we also have a specialist fraud department and a specialist prison law team.
