Planning Ahead, Protecting More

“My wife and I recently completed our estate planning with Shane at Johnson Legal, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. We left every meeting feeling more confident, informed, and at peace knowing everything was set up correctly.”

— Chase Carris, Johnson Legal client

Johnson Legal, PLLC hears this response often from Wilmington-area families. The firm turns vague intentions into clear instructions, living up to its slogan, “Protecting What Matters.”

Attorney Shane T. Johnson guides clients through a defined process, from consultation through signing documents and receiving a completed portfolio. “There was a very structured process that the firm followed, accomplishing our goals and inspiring confidence that everything was buttoned up,” says client Jennifer Ciccone. A plan may include a will, trust, power of attorney, or health care directive, and clients leave with a fire-resistant legacy binder and digital trust wallet card built for the long haul.

When a loved one dies, the firm guides families through probate in plain language, led by Probate Manager Brooke Boltz, a 10-year veteran and former Deputy Clerk of Court for New Hanover County.

That guidance is now backed by statewide recognition: Johnson Legal was named a 2026 Best of North Carolina winner, by Guide to North Carolina, in the Estate Planning Firm category. They have also surpassed 675 five-star Google reviews, more than fourteen times the legal industry’s average. “Our growth is driven by plain-English education, total transparency, and a high-touch client experience,” says Founding Attorney Shane T. Johnson.

Estate planning is practical and personal; probate demands patience and clarity. Johnson Legal brings both together, helping clients plan ahead and navigate loss with fewer unanswered questions.
