“I sent an email to Greg Johnson, asking for help as a home buyer. The seller was attempting to delay closing. Greg called me within minutes. He was a pleasure to talk to. Very down to Earth and friendly. In just a few minutes, he had answered all my questions and advised me on a course of action. His suggestion worked and I didn’t even have to hire him! I am deeply grateful to Greg for being so willing to share his expertise. I hope I never have to go through anything like this again, but if I do, I will definitely call Greg.”

“I have worked with Greg Johnson of DHW for several years on many complex issues related to a land conservation, intentional community, and educational project that my family founded in 2010. Greg is a remarkable human being- possessing a combination of heart-centered wisdom and intellectual depth not readily found in the legal profession. His mind is adept at thinking broadly about potential outcomes and pitfalls, and his ethical integrity is something that is rarified in this modern world. Greg cares about his clients- beyond the ‘office’, and thinks about their needs and how to support their goals beyond office hours. He also is capable of thinking from the perspectives of those on ‘the other side’, and carries a spirit of resolution, rather than focusing on protracted, expensive litigation. I would highly recommend Greg to anyone needing complex legal work, litigation (with a heart of resolution), or consulting in real estate issues or many other fields of law,. He is broadly specialized in many areas. You won’t find expertise like this anywhere else in our area!”

“I engaged Mr. Johnson to handle a civil dispute with another firm/attorney in NC — several hundred miles from where I live and do business. He did excellent work: very professional and efficient in every respect. And, most importantly, he did resolve the dispute in a satisfactory manner at a reasonable cost. Based on this experience I would strongly recommend his services.”
