Amy Rebecca Johnson
St. Louis, Missouri Attorney
Phone: 314-244-3617
Location: Clayton, Missouri
Fax: 314-727-2101
Ms. Johnson’s practice is concentrated solely in family law: divorce, child custody, paternity, adoption, and assisted reproductive technology. Prior to joining Paule, Camazine & Blumenthal, P.C., Ms. Johnson ran a successful solo law practice after graduating from Saint Louis University School of Law. It was during her solo practice that she recognized that assisting clients through the difficult times of family law cases drove her passion for the practice of law. Ms. Johnson strives to put her client’s minds at rest about their legal concerns so that they can focus on their own needs and the needs of their families.
Ms. Johnson is a proud Fellow of the Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys (AAAA), the largest professional organization of its kind, with a highly selective process that requires a minimum five years’ legal practice, at least fifty adoption or assisted reproduction law matters, referrals from current members, and a rigorous ethical and competency review by the Board of Trustees. AAAA advocates for laws and policies to protect the best interests of children, the legal status of families formed through adoption and assisted reproduction law, and the rights of all interested parties in these situations, such as birth parents, adoptive parents, surrogates, donors, and intended parents.
When not practicing law, Ms. Johnson enjoys yoga, being active, the outdoors, cooking, spending time with her husband (and their dog and cat) and planning her next travel adventure.
