Why Us
Why Neenah Chooses Johnson Law Firm S.C.
"Will my lawyer actually return my calls?"
Yes — and our reviews prove it. "They both kept in great contact with me and explained everything well," writes one Google reviewer whose case was dismissed. A human answers our office Monday–Friday, 8 am–5 pm at 920-730-8250. No AI intake bots. One direct point of contact for your entire case.
"Can I actually afford a private attorney?"
Probably — and you'll know exactly, in writing, before you commit. Wisconsin defense attorneys typically charge $200–$500 per hour; we quote your fee at a free consultation so there are no phase upsells and no surprise invoices. If you earn too much for a public defender, call us before you go it alone.
"Will I get handed off between attorneys?"
Never. Steven Johnson (Wisconsin Bar #1048934) has personally handled every client matter for 20+ years. The attorney at your free consultation is the attorney at your final hearing — a promise volume firms with rotating regional rosters cannot make.
"Does local experience really matter?"
In courtrooms, relationships and reputation matter. Attorney Johnson has practiced for two decades in the Winnebago County Courthouse in Oshkosh and the Outagamie County Courthouse in Appleton — the same judges, prosecutors, and court commissioners who will handle your case. 41 Google reviews and a 4.4-star rating back it up.

"Attorney Johnson gave very good advice on what steps to take for my case his paralegal Liz was amazing. She was very informative and kept me up-to-date on everything. She is amazing. I really appreciate everything that she did for me and helping assist with my case along with attorney Johnson as well. I gave five stars because I feel like Attorney Johnson was amazing but I also feel like his paralegal did a great job and what she does."

Full-Service Representation for Neenah & the Fox Valley
Criminal Defense in Neenah & the Fox Valley
Johnson Law Firm S.C. defends felony and misdemeanor charges throughout Winnebago and Outagamie counties — theft, retail theft, forgery, battery, disorderly conduct, drug charges, and traffic offenses. Wisconsin felony penalties run from 3.5 years to life under Wis. Stat. § 939.50, and even a Class A misdemeanor carries up to 9 months in jail, so early representation matters. Attorney Steven Johnson brings 20+ years of courtroom experience at the Winnebago County Courthouse and beyond, challenging stops, searches, and evidence while keeping you informed at every step. Free consultations with a written fee quote.
OWI / Drunk Driving Defense
A Wisconsin OWI conviction follows you forever — it can never be expunged. First offenses bring a 6–9 month revocation, $585+ in forfeitures and surcharges, a mandatory AODA assessment, and an ignition interlock at 0.15 BAC or higher; second offenses become criminal. We examine the traffic stop, field sobriety tests, and breath or blood testing for every client from Neenah, Appleton, Oshkosh, and the Lake Winnebago communities. Deadlines start immediately after arrest, so call 920-730-8250 before your court date.
Family Law & Divorce
Divorce, legal separation, child custody and physical placement, child support, CHIPS defense, restraining order petitions and defense, and guardianships for children and adults — handled by one attorney across Winnebago, Outagamie, and Calumet counties. We explain Wisconsin's 120-day waiting period, marital property presumptions, and the best-interest placement factors of Wis. Stat. § 767.41 in plain English, then put your strategy and fees in writing. From Doty Island to downtown Appleton, Fox Valley families get straight answers here — starting with a free consultation.
Wills & Estate Basics
A valid will keeps your property, your children's guardianship, and your final wishes out of dispute — and out of avoidable Winnebago County probate battles. Attorney Johnson drafts wills for Fox Valley families and pairs them with the guardianship experience the firm uses in family court every week. If you don't have a will, Wisconsin's intestacy statutes decide for you; an afternoon in our Neenah office fixes that. Ask about wills during any consultation.
