Johnsen Law, PLLC

Focus and practice areas

Business law is the main focus at this Kingwood, Texas firm. Johnsen Law, PLLC works with companies at several stages, including formation, daily operations, and disputes. Its practice covers business formation, contract law, business transactions including mergers and acquisitions, and business litigation. General counsel work gives companies ongoing legal support as an outside resource.

The firm also handles work that sits close to those business services. It takes on labor and employment matters, health and medical law, probate, and commercial and residential real estate. Business succession planning rounds out the list. In my opinion, that range points to a firm set up to cover most of a company's legal needs in one place.

Who handles the corporate and contract work

Thirteen attorneys appear on the team page, and several list more than fifteen years in practice. Chris Johnsen is an attorney whose work centers on business clients and on negotiation for businesses. Peder K. Davisson is a corporate and securities attorney with over thirty years of experience, and he works with clients on business transactions, capital formation, and regulatory compliance.

Spring R. Rowell has nearly two decades of experience across corporate, nonprofit, employment, and real estate law, and she drafts commercial agreements for businesses and entrepreneurs. Wesley Williams is Senior Commercial Counsel (Contract) and has sixteen years as a licensed attorney. He works from San Diego with SaaS, fintech, and emerging technology clients. He previously held the role of Corporate Legal Counsel for Xsolla and In-House Counsel for Fidelity National Title, and he holds a California Real Estate Broker license.

Anthony Brister brings a background in finance and law, and he works in taxation, asset protection, business structuring, risk management, and estate planning. Robert Binz is a business and commercial attorney whose background covers insurance, employment, business torts, contracts, product liability, professional liability, and tax matters. Between them, these attorneys give the corporate side depth across transactions, contracts, and compliance.

Litigation, appeals, and disputes

The firm carries litigation experience alongside its transactional work. Angelle M. Adams is a civil litigator with over fifteen years of experience, and she works with business owners on legal planning meant to head off disputes early. Tamara Stiner Toomer is a licensed patent attorney with more than fifteen years of combined legal and engineering experience, and she handles commercial litigation.

Lisa Linney is an appellate attorney who handles matters before appellate courts. Appellate work runs on a different track from trial practice. It turns on the written record, the briefing, and the legal argument rather than fresh evidence. As a reviewer, I read the presence of a dedicated appellate attorney as a sign the firm can follow a business dispute past the trial court when a client needs that.

Employment, healthcare, and estate work

Several attorneys cover fields related to the firm's business practice. Abby Kotun-Thomas is a board-certified labor and employment attorney who represents clients in labor and employment matters, litigation, and business disputes. She previously held the role of Senior Counsel at a Fortune 500 company. Board certification in Texas comes through the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and calls for tested experience in the named field.

Elissa Brewster Langston is a healthcare attorney with more than twenty years of experience, and she holds both a JD and an MHA. Her past roles include positions at Acclara Solutions and Christus Health. That pairing of legal and hospital-administration training fits health and medical law, where regulatory rules and clinical operations meet.

On the estates side, Caroline Ortego works in business succession, estate planning, probate, and elder law, and she helps families with estate and wealth planning. Margaret Mauer works in business succession and probate matters. Probate in Texas runs through the county courts, and the steps include filing the will, appointing an executor, and settling the estate. Having succession and probate attorneys inside a business firm lets an owner plan the handoff of a company alongside a personal estate.

Affiliations and how the firm reaches clients

Johnsen Law states that it works with clients throughout Texas and nationwide, and one attorney works from San Diego. The firm is affiliated with Fidelity National Title Lake Houston, an attorney-operated title company. That link connects the real estate practice to title services, which matters in commercial and residential closings when ownership and liens need a clean review.

The firm is also affiliated with Texas Estate and Probate Lawyers, which focuses on wills, estate planning, and probate. These affiliations give the firm ready channels for title and estate matters that often run alongside business work. In my opinion, the nationwide claim reads as credible given a team that already includes counsel licensed and working outside Texas. The roster of thirteen attorneys covers corporate, litigation, employment, healthcare, tax, and real estate work from the firm's Kingwood base.
