About Edward
Edward Johnson earned his J.D. from the University of Colorado Denver in 2013, where he studied criminal defense. He moved quickly from law school into practice. By the end of that year he was working as a lawyer and operating under the name Edward Johnson & Associates P.C.
Early in his career Johnson built a practice that reaches across state lines. He is licensed to practice in Illinois, Colorado, Wisconsin and Iowa. He has held membership in the State Bar of Illinois and the State Bar of Colorado since 2013, and he maintains the registrations that allow him to appear in courts across the four jurisdictions.
Johnson’s work centers on criminal defense. He handles pretrial motions, hearings and trial work. He represents clients in arraignments, bond proceedings and contested matters in court. He prepares written motions and presents oral argument. He also advises clients about plea options and the likely consequences of different courses of action.
Running a small firm has shaped how he approaches cases. Day-to-day work mixes client interviews, evidence review and court appearances. He often coordinates filings across multiple state systems and manages calendars that span different court rules. That practical side—managing deadlines and paperwork—sits alongside courtroom preparation. He places emphasis on clear, direct communication with judges and opposing counsel.
Colleagues describe the practice as straightforward. The firm serves individuals facing misdemeanor and felony charges and fields calls from people at early stages of an investigation through trial. Johnson’s practice includes routine matters and contested hearings, and he splits time between negotiating resolutions and taking cases to trial when necessary.
Outside courtrooms, he keeps current on procedural developments in the states where he is licensed. Maintaining four state admissions requires continuing legal education and attention to varying local rules. That administrative work informs how cases are handled and how clients are advised.
Edward Johnson leads Edward Johnson & Associates P.C., where he practices criminal defense across Illinois, Colorado, Wisconsin and Iowa. He currently concentrates his practice on criminal defense matters in the state courts where he is admitted to appear.
