About Todd Anthony
Todd Anthony Johns followed a steady academic path into the law. He earned an associate degree from Keystone College, a bachelor’s degree from West Chester University of Pennsylvania, and a J.D. from Dickinson School of Law. The sequence set a clear course: higher education in the region, then a return to practice in the same community.
His professional resume is rooted in both private practice and public service. He founded the Law Offices of Todd A. Johns and serves as the firm’s principal lawyer. Alongside running a practice, he has taught Business Law as an adjunct professor at Lackawanna College. Classroom work and client work inform one another; teaching keeps him engaged with evolving commercial legal concepts while practice offers concrete examples for his students.
Johns has also taken on local municipal roles. He has served as solicitor to the Wilkes-Barre Township Planning Commission and to the Wilkes-Barre Township Zoning Hearing Board. Those positions involve advising public bodies on land use, approvals and procedural questions. They require careful review of ordinances, attention to record-keeping and an ability to explain legal rules to officials and members of the public.
He is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania and holds current memberships in several bar organizations. Those memberships include the Pennsylvania State Bar, the American, Pennsylvania and Lackawanna Bar Associations, and the Pennsylvania and American Associations for Justice. Membership in these groups keeps him plugged into professional developments and peer networks across the state and nationally.
Colleagues and clients see Johns as a lawyer who balances courtroom knowledge, municipal advising and classroom instruction. His background across those arenas gives him a practical perspective on disputes that touch zoning, planning and business regulation. He has handled matters that require negotiating with local boards, preparing legal memoranda, and presenting arguments at hearings.
The combination of private practice, adjunct teaching and municipal solicitor work shapes the contours of his day-to-day practice. He maintains an office as the firm’s founder while teaching part time and advising township bodies when called upon. His current practice concentrates on business, municipal and land-use matters in Pennsylvania.
