About Spence
Spence Johnson earned a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Georgia in 1998. He stayed in Atlanta for graduate study and completed both an MBA and a Juris Doctor at Georgia State University in 2002. Those degrees sit at the foundation of a practice that bridges business and law.
He joined the State Bar of Georgia in 2006. Since then he has maintained active membership and practice in Georgia. He is also admitted to practice in the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, allowing him to take cases beyond the trial courts when appeals arise.
Johnson's training combines business schooling and legal education, which informs how he evaluates client matters. He has handled filings in state court and taken appeals to the federal appellate level. He approaches each matter by assessing the legal issues in light of practical and financial considerations, aiming to present options that are understandable to clients who may not live in a courtroom every day.
Peers and colleagues describe him as methodical and precise in court filings. He prepares briefs and motions to address core legal questions and seeks clarity in procedural posture early in a case. He is comfortable arguing procedural and substantive points in hearings and on papers, whether the dispute is at the trial stage or on appeal.
Outside court, Johnson draws on his business studies when evaluating transactional risks and contract issues. His background helps him parse financial statements, contractual language, and regulatory implications. He balances those technical details with an eye toward practical outcomes for clients.
Today he practices in Georgia and remains admitted to the Eleventh Circuit. He maintains active status with the State Bar of Georgia and continues to appear in state and federal courts, handling matters that arise in both trial and appellate settings.
