Ven Johnson

For nearly 40 years, Ven Johnson has been a relentless advocate for victims of negligence, abuse, wrongful death, civil rights violations, and governmental immunity cases. As founder and president of Ven Johnson Law, PLC, he has successfully taken on insurance companies, corporations, and government entities in state and federal courts nationwide. His results speak for themselves—over $500 million in jury verdicts and more than $1 billion in settlements for his clients.

Ven has secured over 30 jury verdicts exceeding $1 million, including a historic $100 million verdict in Edwards v. Grubbs, the largest excessive force verdict in U.S. history. His expertise has earned him induction into the Inner Circle of Advocates, an elite group of the nation’s top 100 plaintiff trial lawyers.

A recognized legal authority, Ven is frequently featured in CNN, CBS News, ABC News, FOX News, The Washington Post, and The New York Times. Committed to justice beyond the courtroom, he actively supports legal and community organizations, including Kalamazoo College, University of Detroit Mercy School of Law, Downtown Boxing Gym, and Variety Children’s Charity of Detroit.
