Law Office of Madeline Johnson

Amidst the lack of respect for life and understandably resulting anger, frustration, and social unrest, let us all do our best to remain peaceful while we focus on change to bring about a world in which every life matters. Protecting our civil rights has never been more important than the present. Regardless of the higher power you believe in, it is obvious that nature intends and benefits from great diversity and variety. We as humans are part of that natural diversity. Let us celebrate the differences that make us special and add to the variety of our lives. Let us thrive together in the richness diversity brings us. Let us share in the abundant opportunities to be great together through the inclusion of all.

It was with great sadness yesterday I learned of the passing of Amy Stevens, the Plaintiff in Stevens v. R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes which is currently pending before the United States Supreme Court. Ms. Stevens bravery and willingness to put herself into the public eye for the advancement of LGBT civil rights in our country will leave an indelible mark in our country's legal precedent. She will remain a person I revere for the remainder of my life for what she stood up for. It is because of brave individuals like her that I am able to do what I do. Thank you Amy Stevens. I never got the privilege of meeting you, but your act has forever impacted my life and my law practice.

The Law Office of Madeline Johnson officially opened its doors for business on December 1, 2017 in Platte City, Missouri! It has been a great first three months! Also, hard to believe it has been that long already.
