Attorney Stu Johnson

Stu Johnson

Of Counsel

"My mother taught preschool children with disabilities and she told us stories about "her kids" every night over dinner. Going into disability law was like entering the family business in a way."

About Stu Johnson

My mother was an inspiration to me, as a pre-primary special education teacher who loved her work. She would talk about “her kids” at the dinner table so often that my family felt like we knew her students. I often visited her classroom and truly admired her dedication to people in need.
