For the past twenty five (25) years, Johnson, Vaughn & Heiskell has attained the highest rating ("AV") for professional legal standards and ethics as certified and listed by the Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers of the Martindale-Hubbell Bar Register.  Experienced and trusted attorneys and judges determine this highly coveted rating.

 

Johnson, Vaughn & Heiskell, was created in 1984 when three (3) Assistant United States Attorneys joined forces to provide legal services of a varied nature to the public. It was initially comprised of William "Bill" Johnson, the former Civil Chief of the U.S. Attorney's office for the Northern District of Texas; Anthony Vaughn, an Assistant in the Civil Division; and Michael P. Heiskell, an Assistant in the Criminal Division. Both Johnson and Vaughn met their untimely deaths in 1987 and 1992, respectively. However, the firm name retains a stellar reputation due to the consistent hard work and high ethical standards adhered to by the lawyers associated with the firm.

 

Johnson, Vaughn & Heiskell is not a partnership, but an association of individual attorneys each offering a high level of expertise for a full range of legal services, in all types of cases.
