David William Johnson

The Project

David dedicated his project to serve elderly victims of abuse in Broward County, Florida. His project aimed to provide holistic civil representation to elderly victims of crime, training on issues around the representation of elder abuse victims, and community education.

During his legal education, it became abundantly clear to David that there was work that needed to be done to protect the most vulnerable among us. David strongly believes in the legal profession’s ability to change the world for the better by helping one client at a time, especially those overlooked by society. Senior citizens are one of the most often abused and marginalized populations, and David felt honored to help them attain justice through his Fellowship.

Fellowship Highlights

David’s project provided protection for seniors from their abusers via injunctions, unlawful detainer, and ejectment actions. Financial struggles are also a result of elder abuse, so his project assisted in maintaining safe and stable living environments in those cases as well.
