Adam Johnson

Adam earned a Bachelor of Science degree in business management from Louisiana State University and ultimately, a Juris Doctorate from Southern University. He specializes in Criminal Defense and is driven by a passion for the courtroom and representing the interests of those who are in need of restitution, recovery, or exoneration. Adam has garnered a reputation as an intensely prepared, zealous advocate who places the interests of his clients first. He represents those charged with very serious offenses as well as those charged with petty ones and invests the same level of work ethic into every case and the client behind it. He has achieved two overturned convictions on behalf of clients seeking appeals, revealing exculpatory evidence suppressed by the State that ultimately proved innocence on behalf of those charged. He considers it his life's purpose to ensure those who are wrongly convicted, underrepresented, or overcharged experience the just defense they rightly deserve. Adam is married to Ashley (Leonards), and together, they have two sons, Jack and James. They are active members of Trinity Baptist Church and enjoy cooking, lounging lakeside, and spending time with family. Awards and Honors Honors 2017 Bat P.
