Lara Johnson
|
“The best thing about my job is being able to help someone from the beginning of the case to its resolution, helping with whatever comes up, and I hope giving them the sense that I’ve been in their corner the whole time.” |
Lara represents people with personal injury claims, including serious motor vehicle collisions, nursing home neglect and abuse, and breach of insurance contracts. She has written and lectured on nursing home neglect and abuse and is published on claims against governmental entities.
Lara grew up in Oregon but went to college in Montreal, Canada at McGill University. She received an Honor’s Degree in Political Science there and was actively involved in the Debating Union, competing internationally. She decided to become a lawyer to combine her interest in advocacy with her desire to help people in a tangible way.
She graduated in 1993 from Case Western Law School in Cleveland, where she was recognized with American Jurisprudence Awards for Torts and for Oral Advocacy and Brief Writing. While there she also competed at the National Moot Court competition. She was actively involved with the Students for Public Interest Law Fellowships, a student group which financially sponsored public interest law summer clerkships. Before Corson & Johnson, Lara was previously Of Counsel with Johnson, Clifton, Larson & Corson.
