About Our Practice


We Resolve High-Stakes Disputes
and Help Clients Start, Protect, and Sell Their Businesses

What We Do

We represent businesses and individuals in high-stakes disputes and complex litigation in Georgia and throughout the Southeast. We also serve as outsourced general counsel to companies and help them, or their owners or executives, work through legal issues that arise in the course of their businesses.


The attorneys at Johnson Marlowe LLP guide businesses through legal issues that arise—whether employment issues, contract disputes, or otherwise—that threaten to distract or prevent owners or key employees from focusing on successfully running the businesses. Our clients range from companies with national projects to small-to-medium-sized local businesses in Northeast Georgia.

We also represent individuals in partnership and contract disputes, real estate disputes, trust and estate litigation, and personal injury cases.

Johnson Marlowe is 100% committed to our clients’ success, and we offer access, responsiveness, and skillsets that most law firms in North Georgia cannot. We encourage you to contact us to discuss any legal issue that calls for creative and thoughtful problem-solving. “Problems solved” isn't only our slogan— it’s what we set out to do in every engagement.

I hired Spence Johnson to help ward off the threat that my construction company faced of being snarled in a shareholder dispute. Spence got involved, quickly got himself up to speed on the facts, and initiated prompt communication with the opposing lawyers. He was able to keep me out of litigation and saved me thousands in legal bills and endless headaches in the process.
