Kimberly J. Johnson

Kimberly J. Johnson has been practicing law for nearly 30 years. Before that, she was a public school orchestra teacher for several years before going back to law school. She served on the Boards of the Alabama Law Review and the Moot Court Competition and earned her J.D., summa cum laude, from the University of Alabama School of Law.

Johnson started her legal career clerking for two different federal judges, serving at both the trial and appellate levels: the Hon. W. Harold Albritton III,  United States District Judge for the Middle District of Alabama, and the Hon. Emmett R. Cox, United States Circuit Judge for the Eleventh Circuit.

She spent her first several years in private practice litigating at a national defense firm, before switching to the plaintiff’s side more than twenty years ago.

Johnson joined Pope McGlamry in 2011 and became a shareholder in 2016. Her practice focuses on representing plaintiffs in catastrophic personal injury, wrongful death, products and pharmaceutical liability and mass torts actions.

Johnson is an active musician in the Atlanta community, playing violin and viola in the Georgia Philharmonic and in chamber ensembles, most notably the Atlanta Wine Ensemble – a group of lawyer-musician-friends. She is also an advocate for music education and serves as Chair of the Board of the Metropolitan Youth Symphony Orchestras of Atlanta. Johnson also enjoys attending Braves games with her Dad – a tradition that dates from her childhood.
