The Law Office of Julian Johnson, LLC is a Chicago civil rights law firm focused on representing individuals and families affected by police misconduct, wrongful convictions, excessive force, and other violations of their constitutional rights. Located in downtown Chicago’s Loop neighborhood, the firm provides legal representation in complex civil rights cases involving law enforcement agencies and government institutions.

Led by attorney Julian Johnson, the firm handles cases involving police brutality, false arrests, unlawful searches and seizures, malicious prosecution, police shootings, wrongful death, and deaths in custody. Its work focuses on pursuing accountability and compensation for people who have suffered harm because of misconduct or violations of their civil rights.

Johnson brings extensive courtroom and litigation experience to his practice. He began his legal career as a public defender before joining the City of Chicago Law Department, where he became Senior Counsel and handled high-profile, multimillion-dollar civil rights litigation. His experience representing the City provides insight into how government agencies defend against misconduct claims.

Throughout his career, Johnson has handled more than 100 civil rights cases and helped clients obtain millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts. He has represented individuals in state and federal courts, including cases involving wrongful convictions, excessive force, and serious injuries resulting from police encounters.

In addition to his legal practice, Johnson serves as an adjunct professor at Loyola University Chicago School of Law. He has also been recognized by the National Black Lawyers Association as one of its Top 100 Black Lawyers.

The firm emphasizes individualized representation, clear communication, and thorough trial preparation. Rather than approaching cases solely as opportunities for quick settlements, Johnson prepares each matter with the possibility of litigation in mind.
