Blake B. Johnson, Esq.

Managing Partner

Blake has known most of his life that he would be working in the estate planning and business realm and based his schooling and work life accordingly. As an undergrad at BYU in the Marriott School of Management he studied Business Management and Finance before attending law school where he learned how to handle the financial side of trusts, businesses and estate plans. He then went on to graduate from the Paul M. Hebert Law Center at Louisiana State University with his JD and a graduate degree in comparative law where although you don’t have a major in law school Blake’s focus was trusts and estate planning.

Blake grew up with his father being an estate planning attorney and was always around the office and saw the results of proper planning through trusts, buy sell agreements and succession planning and the poor results from those that didn’t plan. He has also started multiple businesses outside of his trust and estates practice and sold one business, so he understands the needs of clients and the many different situations they may face.
