Attorney Gordon S. Johnson, Jr.

The Brain Injury Law Group was founded by Attorney Gordon S. Johnson, Jr., with the objective of assuring that our mission of education and advocacy for persons with brain injury reaches people throughout the country. We believe that the representation of those with a brain injury requires specialized background and training.

Towards that goal, we have sponsored several brain injury related web pages: http://tbilaw.com and its companion site: http://waiting.com. We are active with respect to education and teaching about brain injury issues and are available to speak to brain injury groups on a number of topics.

Attorney Gordon S. Johnson, Jr., is an attorney with 25 years of experience, whose practice is focused on representing those who have suffered traumatic brain injuries.

Mr. Johnson is a member of the Brain Injury Association of Wisconsin and the national BIA. His service for the BIA-WI has included serving two terms on its board of directors and editing the associations newsletter. Mr. Johnson has been appointed by Wisconsin's governor to the state sub-agency, the TBI-Advisory Board.

Mr. Johnson is also on the executive board of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, Litigation Group for TBI.

He is a graduate of Northwestern University, BS-Journalism and a 1979 graduate cum laude of the University of Wisconsin Law School.
