ATTORNEY PROFILE

 

            After ten years in the business world, W. David Johnson decided that he wanted an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of others so, in 1995, he left his successful career in business and, with his wife and two small children by his side, entered law school.

            W. David Johnson received a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Winthrop University in 1986. He graduated from Touro Law School in 1999 and is currently admitted to practice law in South Carolina, New York and The United States Supreme Court. He is a member of the New York Bar Association, The South Carolina Bar Association and the Charleston County Bar Association.   

 

            W. David Johnson lives in Mount Pleasant with his wife, Kathy, and two teenage daughters, Ashley and Casey. He is a member of the Charleston Exchange Club and the Charleston Evening Exchange Club. W. David Johnson cherishes his membership in the Charleston Exchange Club because in late October and early November of each year he gets to take his “lawyer hat” off and work at the Coastal Carolina Fair to help raise money for various local charities.

 

            While W. David Johnson’s legal accomplishments are too numerous to mention he is particular proud of the following:

 

  1. In 1997 the weight loss drugs Redux and Pondimun were taken off the market because they were suspected of causing heart problems. W. David Johnson spent the next 10 years helping hundreds of people receive just compensation for their injuries caused by the manufacturers of the drugs.

 

  1. In 2006 W. David Johnson was appointed to represent an indigent man who was charged with very serious criminal offenses. If convicted he would probably spend the majority of his remaining life in prison. W. David Johnson made multiple visits to the jail to speak with his client, who always maintained his innocence. W. David Johnson spent, many, many hours, for which he was not compensated for, investigating the legal and factual aspects of the case. While there were several co-defendants who pled guilty W. David Johnson eventually got all the charges against his client dismissed and he walked out of jail a free man.

 

  1. In 2005, W. David Johnson received a call from an associate who told him that an elderly lady he knew had been raising her 5 grandchildren for the last few years. The children’s mother, who was not fit to raise her children, was attempting to take the children from their grandmother. Unfortunately this wonderful grandmother did not have the means to pay an attorney so W. David Johnson headed the call and represented her pro bono. W. David Johnson work tirelessly and was eventually able to get everybody to agree that the children belonged with their grandmother. The court approved the agreement and now all the children are healthy and happy with their grandmother and get to spend time with their mother who is doing her best to change her life for the better
