About Steve J.
Steve J. Johnson earned his law degree from Brigham Young University in 2006 after completing a Bachelor of Arts in Business Management at the University of Utah in 2002. His academic path combined business training with legal study, a pairing that shaped how he approaches cases and client matters. He entered the bar shortly after law school and built a practice grounded in courtroom work and dispute resolution.
Johnson spent a formative period of his career as a trial lawyer at Siegfried & Jensen, beginning in 2011. That role put him on his feet in court and into the kinds of contested matters that require courtroom readiness. In 2016 he moved into private ownership as part of Tillotson Johnson. A year later he launched his own firm, the Law Office of Steve Johnson, PLLC, where he has practiced since 2017.
His career centers on litigation and trial practice. Over the years he has handled contested hearings, motion practice and jury trials in Utah courts. The work has required the sorts of tasks that define trial practice: depositions, discovery disputes, witness preparation and courtroom argument. He has maintained active courtroom involvement rather than shifting exclusively to advisory or transactional work.
Johnson has been a member of the Utah Association for Justice since 2011. That affiliation places him among attorneys who regularly try cases and engage in the civil justice community in the state. He has participated in association events and peer networks that address trial strategy and procedural developments in Utah law.
People who have worked with Johnson describe a practical approach to litigation. He tends to favor preparation that anticipates opposing tactics and aims to make evidence straightforward for judges and juries. He balances case development with attention to procedural deadlines and the logistics of courtroom presentation.
He runs the Law Office of Steve Johnson, PLLC in Utah, handling cases that proceed through trial. He appears in Utah courts and manages the day-to-day operations of his firm. His current practice focuses on trial litigation in Utah courts.
