About
In 1898, Robert N. Johnson founded what is now the oldest law firm in Lee County, Iowa, believed to be one of the oldest law firms in Southeast Iowa. His son Robert N. Johnson, Jr., followed in his footsteps, practicing law for over fifty years. Two generations of the Phelan family practiced in the firm until their deaths or retirement. Thomas E. Tucker was a partner in the firm until he was appointed district court judge. Thomas T. Skewes joined the firm as an associate, following his apprenticeship as a Johnson County prosector, and became a full partner in 1977. Robert N. Johnsons grandson, Gregory A. Johnson, joined the firm in 1977 and became a partner in 1982. For over a century, these lawyers have faithfully served their clients legal needs.Thomas
