About Jimmy
Jimmy Johnson built a layered academic foundation before he ever set foot in a courtroom. He earned dual Bachelor of Arts degrees in Pre-Law (Law and Society) and Political Science from DeSales University, followed by a Master of Business Administration and a Master of Public Administration from Walden University. He completed his legal studies at Western Michigan University Cooley Law School, receiving a J.D. in 2012.
The Walden degrees included a specialization in public policy. That training shows in the way he approaches matters that touch government processes and administrative law. He kept ties to policy circles by joining professional organizations such as the Academy of Political Science and the American Society for Public Administration early in his career.
After law school, Johnson expanded the range of courts and jurisdictions where he practices. His credentials include admission in several states and federal courts, among them New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia, plus appellate admissions in the Second and Third Circuits. He is also admitted to multiple federal trial courts, including the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York and the District of New Jersey.
He launched his own practice in 2014. As owner and managing partner of Law Offices Jimmy Johnson PLLC, he runs a small firm that handles client meetings at several designated offices and maintains separate mailing addresses for documents. The firm profile emphasizes individualized handling of matters rather than a large-firm structure.
Johnson’s practice threads together elements of public administration and business basics. He accepts matters that raise questions of administrative procedure, regulatory compliance, and civil litigation across state and federal forums. He also draws on his MBA background when cases involve commercial disputes or require an understanding of business operations and management structures.
Membership in the District of Columbia Bar was added in 2022, complementing earlier associations with public policy and administration organizations. Over time he has maintained memberships that align with both the legal and public policy sides of his work, reflecting the hybrid academic path he followed before becoming a lawyer.
Colleagues and clients who work with him describe a lawyer who can move between courtroom filings and policy discussions without losing sight of practical outcomes. He continues to operate Law Offices Jimmy Johnson PLLC and handles matters in multiple state and federal jurisdictions. His current practice focuses on administrative, regulatory, and civil litigation matters across those jurisdictions.
