Jason C. Johnson — Bio
Principal Attorney Jason holds a Juris Doctor, with honors, from the University of Maryland School of Law and a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Taxation from the Villanova University School of Law.
Estate planning in Maryland is also tax planning. The state charges both an estate tax and an inheritance tax, and every plan decides how retirement accounts, inherited property, and trusts are taxed. Jason's LL.M. means the tax side of each plan gets the same attention as the documents. Why the tax degree matters →
He is a member of the Estates & Trusts, Taxation, and Elder Law sections of the Maryland State Bar Association, the Anne Arundel County Bar Association, ElderCounsel®, and WealthCounsel®.
He was recipient of the What's Up Annapolis Leading Lawyer award.
Jason was admitted to the Maryland Bar in 2005 (AIS# 0512140107) and founded Johnson Law in 2018.
After a career in law enforcement, Jason built Johnson Law around the legal questions most Maryland families eventually face — protecting what they've built, planning for the unexpected, and passing it on cleanly.
Above all, Jason is firmly committed to serving each of his clients with dignity, compassion, and integrity.

Who you'll actually work with
Johnson Law is a small, deliberate practice. Jason is the firm's only attorney, and he oversees every client matter from the first conversation through signing — there's no hand-off to a junior associate. Our paralegals are closely involved throughout, handling scheduling, document preparation, funding follow-up, and the day-to-day questions that come up in between meetings.
The firm's only attorney. He oversees the planning strategy, the design meeting, and the signing — start to finish.
Yes — both of them are named Lisa. They're the voices most clients get to know best: scheduling, paperwork, trust funding, and answering the questions that don't need to wait for a meeting.
A conversation, not a lecture.
Estate planning should feel like a conversation, not a lecture. We explain what things mean, why they matter, and what happens if you don't act — in plain terms, at your pace. Flat fees. Agreed upfront. No billing surprises, ever.
