She works hard to make sure clients’ interests remain in the forefront in her office and in the courtroom.

Nothing can be more difficult than attempting to navigate your way through the criminal Court system.

Real Estate

Real Estate closings at the Law Firm of Kesa M. Johnston are handled by professionals that have decades of combined experience. We work to accommodate the needs of all realtors, clients and financial agents. All parties are made aware of the status of closing requests and we work diligently to meet deadlines in an efficient manner. In addition to closings KMJ Law drafts deeds, purchase agreements and handles property disputes.

Estate Planning

Losing a loved one can be a very difficult experience especially when there are mounting debts or multiple heirs. Kesa’s office is sensitive to those matters and helps clients navigate the probate arena by providing Estate planning documents, assisting with probate of wills, and negotiating with debt collectors. We also provide extensive estate planning options for those who wish to avoid future issues for their heirs.
