Firm Information
Overview
Our Reading team at the Law Offices of Peter L. Johnston, L.L.C., truly believes that everyone should be equal in the eyes of Pennsylvania law. Sadly, we have also witnessed several instances in which we had to acknowledge that this was not the case. Whether you are an immigrant or someone from a marginalized background, law enforcement officers and judges often treat you differently. We are here to level the playing field by fighting for you.
Inequality can also skew things in favor of the opposition in personal injury cases. Insurance companies, hospitals and other big corporations bring teams of lawyers to defend against paying the compensation you deserve. Our law office has a proven track record of winning against these corporate giants that are often more committed to their financial goals than serving their communities.
At the Law Offices of Peter L. Johnston, L.L.C., we also help Pennsylvanians protect their assets and estates. While most of our clients in this practice area are seniors, we increasingly serve younger people with dependents who want to ensure that they are cared for. People with high levels of debt have also turned to estate planning to outsmart creditors.
Our managing partner has 25 years of experience in these practice areas and will bring compassion and perseverance to your case. Your legal case deserves an experienced attorney with a proven track record of helping clients achieve positive outcomes.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
