Physician Contract Lawyer

Truly made a complex and intimidating process feel like a breeze; I always knew I had an advocate on my side who knew *exactly* what I wanted out of my contract. Quick and easy reviews of the contract language sent my way, which was a huge help when I was negotiating while on night shifts – they dug through all the legal language to ensure I remained protected before signing. Would recommend them to new grads and established physicians who are negotiating a change. The landscape of physician contracts is an ever-evolving field, and this group is on the forefront. Money very well spent (and there’s a payment plan option for us new grads!)

My experience with Michael Johnson Legal was seamless. I called several lawyers prior to working with MJ Legal, however, I always felt lost at the end of our conversations and didn’t feel like efforts were made to explain things. Starting with my initial consultation with Ed Theobald, he made such a strong effort to learn about me, my job possibilities, and what was important to me and my family in signing our contract. Once he had all that information, he was able to tailor his work with me and our contract negotiations such that everything that was important to me was negotiated. Further, he made negotiations with my employer a very smooth and collaborative process, rather than a tense and antagonistic one. I could not be happier with how the process went, and I will certainly be recommending MJ legal to any physician entering contract negotiations. Thank you!

Very easy to work with. I could tell that I was heard as it reflected in Michael and Ed’s negotiations. Never felt like I was just another client to them. Will be using this firm again, and recommending them to colleagues.

Michael was professional and comprehensive. He explained things clearly and made me feel empowered to understand my contract and provided advice and options for negotiation tactics as well as insights from hundreds of different physician contracts.

Everything was great.  My contract took forward to receive, but that had nothing to do with Michael and Elizabeth, just my future employer.  I would highly recommend their services.

Elizabeth and Michael were wonderful to work with. They always provided prompt email replies, were great listeners asking thoughtful follow-up questions, and were physician advocates from start to finish. Before I’d even signed my first contract, I had already recommended them to my colleagues. Thank you for giving me peace of mind and having my back throughout this stressful process of navigating my first attending contract!

Money well spent! Ed was great and always available to speak via zoom. He explained all the unfamiliar terminology in my contract and was very patient. As a new grad, I feel confident in my understanding of my first contract.

I had the pleasure of working with Michael Johnson during my physician contract process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, Michael provided expert legal guidance that helped me feel confident and empowered as I navigated a major career transition.

What stood out most was how thoughtful and personable he was throughout the entire experience. He took the time to understand my unique professional goals and tailored his advice accordingly, ensuring that every aspect of the contract aligned with my long-term vision. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, he made me feel that my future and career were truly being prioritized.

I also deeply appreciate his dedication not only to helping physicians but to educating them. His emphasis on empowering clients through knowledge gave me a strong sense of reassurance that we were making the best decisions for my future.

Working with Michael Johnson was an invaluable experience, and I’m grateful for his expertise, care, and commitment to supporting physicians like myself.

During the initial months of COVID-19 shutdowns, my commercial tenant stopped paying. Michael’s legal and business expertise helped guide me through a challenging and shifting legal landscape. I felt he always had my business interests at the forefront. He helped me through demand letters and strategic communications to renegotiate the commercial lease and avoid costly default and eviction proceedings.

Working with Michael and his team was a great decision for me and my husband. They were efficient, easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable. We feel confident starting our new jobs knowing our contracts are sturdy and fair. I will definitely use them again in the future if needed!
