About Tamika M.
Tamika M. Johnson grew up studying politics and law in earnest. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of Georgia in 1996 and went on to receive her Juris Doctor from Southern University Law Center in 2005. Those academic stops set a straightforward course: work in law and serve local clients.
Her early legal work began in a large-firm setting. In 2001 she worked as a litigation assistant at Sutherland, Asbill & Brennan, PC, where she supported attorneys on research and case preparation. That experience exposed her to complex civil matters and the rhythms of litigation. She then moved into a federal agency role, joining the U.S. Small Business Administration’s legal department in 2005 as a closer. That position involved handling loan closings and agency paperwork, offering a window into small-business law and federal lending processes.
In 2006 she launched her own practice, T. M. Johnson Law Office, LLC. Starting a solo practice meant shifting gears. She moved from supportive roles to primary counsel. Running a small firm added new responsibilities: managing client relationships, overseeing case strategy, and handling the administrative side of a law office.
Johnson’s community ties run through Gwinnett County. She has held membership in the Gwinnett County Bar Association and the Gwinnett County Chamber of Commerce since 2016. She has volunteered with the Gwinnett County Pro Bono Project as a clinic lawyer since 2015, providing legal help to people who otherwise might not have access to counsel. Her other professional affiliations have included a brief period with Lawyers with Purpose from 2017 to 2018 and a membership in the National Association of Elder Law Attorneys from 2015 to 2016.
Colleagues describe her as dependable in the tasks she undertakes, whether researching an issue or guiding a client through closing documents. The arc of her career — from litigation support to federal closings to managing her own firm — shows steady accumulation of practical skill rather than a string of headline cases. She keeps a steady presence in the local legal community and contributes time to pro bono clinic work.
Johnson is licensed to practice law in Georgia and operates her practice from Gwinnett County. She applies her background in litigation assistance and federal agency closings to represent individuals and small businesses across Georgia. Her current practice focuses on serving the legal needs of clients in that region.
