About Us

Mark Johnson opened the Law Office of Mark B. Johnson in Andover, MA in 1986. The firm has grown from one attorney and one secretary to seven attorneys, six paralegals and a support staff of five. Mark and Don Borenstein, who joined the office in 1997, formed Johnson & Borenstein, LLC in 2006. The firm has attorneys admitted to practice law in the State and Federal Courts of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, California and the District of Columbia.

Our unique blend of practice areas and expertise allows us to provide our clients with a well-rounded and expansive representation. Client project assignments are structured so that the same staff members work with each project from beginning to end providing continuity and several staff that can address client questions and issues.

This structure also allows the staff members assigned to the project to get a "big-picture" understanding of the project as this is sometimes overlooked when tasks within a case or project are assigned to compartmentalized employees.

Generally, the same people work on same types of files, allowing them to continually build their expertise in those areas thereby providing the clients with more efficient, cost-effective representation. In addition, the management structure in the office is such that there is always more than one person who is familiar with and able to address questions or concerns relative to any given matter.

The combined 100+ years of experience among our real estate staff members enables us to handle real-estate based projects which are out of the ordinary or require a special understanding of particular legal areas. For complex title matters we use a Land Court Title Examiner with whom we have worked with for over 10 years to help insure our clients get the best representation in real estate matters. In addition, we are agents for six different title insurance companies, this allows for creative title underwriting in circumstances which require it.

Lastly, we make good use of current technologies but do so without losing the personal service and personal touches that are so necessary in effectively representing our clients. You are never "just" a number to us.
