Teena A. Johnson

I've personally experienced divorce and loss, and I know how it feels to be uncertain about your future, worried about your children, and confused about how to navigate the divorce process. I have brought that insight and compassion to my work with my clients for the last twenty years, as well as to my leadership roles in the collaborative law field (I am a past President of Collaborative Law Professionals of Pierce County, past President of Collaborative Professionals of Washington, and a trainer of collaborative law for professionals). I grew up in the Pacific Northwest but lived around the country for many years before resettling here after law school. Because of this, I consider myself both a native and a transplant, and on off days, you can usually find me walking my dog or hiking with my family in our beautiful area. When I work with clients, my goal is to minimize the stress and conflict for my clients as much as possible. Divorce is challenging, often painful. Easing some of the difficulty for my clients, while also providing diligent and professional assistance, brings me the most satisfaction.
