Hello,

Welcome to JLS!

Johnson Legal Services ("JLS") opened in October 2023 and is expanding from our headquarters in Wheeling, West Virginia into Ohio and Pennsylvania.  Its founding member, Ryan Johnson, worked in the federal judiciary for about 20 years before entering private practice and opening JLS on Market Plaza in downtown Wheeling, West Virginia. 

In addition to being the founding member of JLS, Mr. Johnson is the Standing Chapter 13 Trustee for the State of West Virginia (for both the Northern and Southern federal judicial districts of West Virginia).  JLS offers a wide range of services for individuals and businesses and offers free initial consultations.
