We are excited to share that Leslie Johns has been recognized in the 2027 edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America® for Criminal Defense: General Practice.
And this one means a little something extra because the recognition comes from her peers, other attorneys who know the profession, know the work, and know what it takes to practice criminal defense.
Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America recognizes attorneys who have demonstrated professional excellence in private practice. The recognition is based on peer review, rather than paid advertising or self nomination.
Criminal defense isn’t just about accusations, motions, and court dates. Behind every case is a real person. It’s often about a family, a career, a reputation, and a future that hang in the balance. That is what makes this work so important to Leslie and to AJLJ Law.
Recognition like this isn’t the reason we do the work but it is certainly worth celebrating.
Being named a 2027 Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America honoree is an awesome professional compliment, and Leslie is grateful to the attorneys who took the time to recognize her work.
Mostly, though, it is a reminder of why we love what we do: providing relentless representation and pursuing just results for every client who puts their trust in us and their attorney.
