About M. Dwayne
M. Dwayne Johnson graduated from Louisiana State University with a Bachelor of Science in 1978. He stayed at LSU for law school and earned his J.D. from the Paul M. Hebert Law Center in 1983. Those years in Baton Rouge shaped his early legal training and professional network.
He became a partner at Kean Miller LLP in 1986. That title has anchored the public outline of his career. Over the decades he has practiced in Louisiana and maintained membership in multiple professional organizations. His career path reflects steady involvement in the state's legal community rather than frequent moves between firms.
Johnson belongs to the Louisiana State Bar Association and the Baton Rouge Bar Association. He is also a member of the American Bar Association and the Society of Louisiana Certified Public Accountants. These memberships indicate engagement across both legal and accounting circles, a combination that often arises when attorneys advise businesses or handle matters that touch on financial documentation.
Colleagues describe his style as methodical and grounded in the kind of institutional knowledge that comes from long practice in a single jurisdiction. He has worked through changes in Louisiana law and the local business environment. He has accepted roles at his firm that reflect continuity and the cultivation of long-term client relationships.
Outside of formal memberships, Johnson’s professional footprint is rooted in Louisiana. He has built a practice that aligns with the region’s commercial and legal landscape. He contributes to the local bar associations’ activities and has remained active in networks that bridge law and accounting.
He practices law at Kean Miller LLP in Louisiana and concentrates his practice on serving clients in the state through his work at the firm.
