The Johnson Partnership
Company History
The Johnson Partnership was established in 1990, growing over the decades into one of the largest and most respected criminal law practices in England and Wales. Though headquartered across the Midlands and Yorkshire, the firm operates nationwide—offering 24-hour emergency support across police stations and courts.
The Barnsley office is centrally located at 2nd Floor, 28 Peel Street, Barnsley, S70 2QX, within a short walk of the Magistrates’ Court and police station. The local team is led by experienced solicitors such as Eric Bray, supported by colleagues including Kevin Ripley, Amy-Jo Cutts, Carol Schofield, Jane, Lynn, and Lorraine Corbett.
Legal Aid Services
The Johnson Partnership offers comprehensive criminal defence services under legal aid, available 24/7 for police station advice, court representation, and Crown Court advocacy via their in-house team of Higher Court Advocates and specialist barristers.
In addition to general criminal defence, their prison law team supports clients with adjudications, Parole Board hearings, life prisoner release and re-categorisation applications, licence conditions, and judicial reviews.
The firm also provides business defence services for professionals facing fraud, financial misconduct, or disciplinary/regulatory hearings—including doctors, pharmacists, vets, teachers, and local government officers. Legal aid may apply; where not, they offer competitive fixed-fee arrangements.
For individuals detained, the firm ensures swift response and personalised support, including arranging same-day appointments, home or hospital visits, and assistance in clients’ preferred language or time.
