Attorney

Seth Johnson joined KD Trial Lawyers in 2023 as a member of the firm’s Family Law Team. He has a breadth of knowledge, including family law and criminal law. Seth has experience in family court litigation, including divorce, custody, and child support matters, as well as abuse and neglect cases involving DSS. With this experience, he gained a keen understanding of how to best protect the interests of his clients and their children.

After receiving his J.D. from the University of Mississippi School of Law in 2014, Seth practiced for five years in a private firm, handling primarily family court matters. He then joined the Department of Social Services in 2019 and managed abuse and neglect cases in Cherokee County.

We literally have it all here. So often, one legal problem is really several legal problems. Our firm is in the unique position to be able to handle just about every legal angle a case may have. We work together as team to see all the issues, which is a rarity these days.

Helping people, hands down. The court system is big and can be really overwhelming to people. I love the ability to help people walk through the system and to advocate for them. Solving problems is the best thing about being a lawyer.

I like the challenge. I love the courtroom. I think the opportunity to help people who normally feel like they don’t have a voice in the legal system and giving them that voice is the most rewarding thing we as lawyers get to do.
