What Makes Us Unique?

Johnson May is a full-service law firm providing business, real estate, estate planning, and litigation legal services. Our attorneys advise both individuals and businesses throughout Idaho and Oregon.

Johnson May’s attorneys are bold, pragmatic, strategic, and experienced. We provide “big firm” expertise without the “big firm” expense. We understand that knowing the law is not enough, we must also know our clients and their businesses. Many of our attorneys began their legal careers at large firms but moved to Johnson May to provide their clients with more personalized service. Our experienced attorneys assist clients by finding the most direct and cost-effective solutions to their problems.

In litigation, our attorneys use a strategic, trial-focused approach. Our attorneys immediately evaluate the merits of a case and then pursue the most efficient route to achieving our clients’ objectives. Often this approach entirely reframes a lawsuit, thus allowing our clients to achieve a level of success they never thought possible.

By combining our unique set of skills, we turn complex problems into simple solutions.
