About
Daniel H. Johnson is a dedicated attorney at Willis & Johnson, PLLC, where he specializes in white collar crime in Raleigh, NC. With an extensive background that uniquely positions him to navigate the complexities of the law, Daniel combines his military discipline with a passion for justice. A proud alumnus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Daniel began his career as a Surface Warfare Officer in the United States Navy, where he honed his leadership and strategic thinking skills. Following his service, he transitioned to public service, working alongside United States Senator Max Cleland. In this role, he focused on critical issues related to national defense and veterans affairs—experiences that deepened his commitment to serving his community and advocating for those in need. After returning to Chapel Hill to pursue a legal education, Daniel graduated from law school and took on the role of a prosecutor in Wake County. Over three years, he gained invaluable courtroom experience, handling a broad spectrum of cases, from driving while intoxicated (DWI) to serious felonies like murder. His time in the district attorney's office not only sharpened his litigation skills but also instilled a profound understanding of the criminal justice system. In a bold move to further his public service, Daniel returned to his hometown of Hickory, NC, to run for Congress. Although he achieved his party's nomination, he ultimately shifted gears after the election, redirecting his focus to private practice. He established himself in criminal defense and civil litigation, where he effectively advocates for clients facing complex legal challenges. In 2011, Daniel partnered with his law school colleague Ryan Willis to establish Willis & Johnson, PLLC. Together, they leverage their shared experiences and commitment to uphold the highest standards of legal representation. Daniel H. Johnson is dedicated to providing exceptional legal services in white collar crime, ensuring that his clients receive the skilled and compassionate representation they deserve.
