**Philip C. Johnston**
Philip C. Johnston grew up in both New York City and Florida and has resided in South Florida for over two decades. A graduate of Columbia University School of Law (2000), he began his legal career clerking for a federal judge in Miami before joining the prestigious law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom in New York, focusing on white-collar criminal defense. He is licensed to practice law in both Florida and New York.

In 2018, Mr. Johnston founded his own practice in West Palm Beach, successfully defending a wide range of clients, including doctors, lawyers, hedge-fund managers, and business professionals. Notable cases include dismissing felony charges against a commercial real estate attorney, resolving a high-profile child pornography case for a college student, and representing clients in unique cases such as theft of cooking oil for biodiesel production and impersonating a police officer.

Mr. Johnston also gained national attention for his involvement in the legal dispute over former President Donald Trump’s residency at Mar-a-Lago, representing the group Preserve Palm Beach. His work has been featured in *Forbes*, *The New York Times*, *Newsweek*, and *SPIEGEL.de*.

What sets Mr. Johnston apart is his empathetic approach to clients, treating them like family and taking their cases personally. He believes in protecting individuals from unjust legal consequences, especially those who may have made minor mistakes but are facing disproportionate penalties.

Outside of his legal work, Mr. Johnston enjoys competing in tennis tournaments, training his son in boxing (a sport he participated in at the University of Michigan), and binge-watching Netflix.
