The Legacy & Purpose

Johnson May has a legacy of over seven decades, but our mission is simple: We Guide People Through Challenges, Providing Client-focused Legal Advice.

Founded in Twin Falls in 1952, we have deep roots in Idaho soil. This is where four generations of the May family have grown up, lived, and raised their own families. Because of this stability, we genuinely understand the needs of unique Idahoans and Idaho companies. Today, Johnson May has offices in Boise and Twin Falls. The Johnson May team is experienced in Idaho transactional and litigation. It is committed to delivering personalized, tailored guidance across our comprehensive practice areas, including real estate, estate planning, and family law.
