Brian Johnson

Brian is passionate about holding businesses accountable when they mislead or abuse consumers, because everyone is a consumer, and enforcing consumer rights protects us all. Brian represents consumers in a wide range of consumer protection class actions, including false advertising, data breach, and product liability and warranty claim class actions. He brings to bear extensive state court consumer protection law experience which is essential to addressing emergent statutory rights and injury-in-fact Article III standing requirement issues.

Prior to joining Gibbs Law Group, Brian focused his practice on consumer protection in D.C. at a leading plaintiff-side firm. Previously, he represented consumers in Missouri in financial lawsuits involving the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. Following law school, Brian served as a Law Clerk for the Honorable Margaret L. Sauer and the Honorable Janette K. Rodecap, 16th Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri.

Brian has also worked with the Heartland Center for Jobs & Freedom, a non-profit advocacy organization focused on helping low-wage workers. He assisted the organization in expanding its advocacy efforts in consumer rights and tenant rights.
