I am the Principal and Owner of the law firm HARMON JOHNSON LLC. My practice focuses on all forms of discrimination, civil rights violations and criminal defense. As an attorney, I have seen and done it all. Igraduated with Honors from Howard University School of Law. I then started my legal career in “Big Law,” at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, where I litigated employment and corporate securities matters. After that, I worked for the City of New York, where I fought and won numerous trials, involving civil rights violations and severe personal injuries. After drafting several hundred judicial opinions as a Principal Law Clerk for a New York State Supreme Court Justice, I moved to Oregon. Once here, I became the first Director of Civil Rights for the Oregon Attorney General. I used this position to fight for the civil rights of Oregon’s most vulnerable populations, including the elderly, immigrants and the LGBTQ community. I also have a passion for teaching. I was an adjunct professor at Monroe College, and a high school and college trial advocacy Coach. I have also taught trial skills to attorneys from across the country as a National Attorney General Training and Research Institute (NAGTRI) faculty member. I am also a frequent volunteer with Financial Beginnings, where I teach financial literacy to students and parents. And the Classroom Law Project, where I judge high school debates and mock trials.
Discrimination attorneys represent individuals who have faced unfair treatment based on protected characteristics. They fight for equal rights in employment, housing, and public services. Common matters include employment discrimination, housing discrimination, age discrimination, disability discrimination.
