Sajida Johnson is a civil rights and criminal defense attorney who brings something most lawyers don't. Twenty-five years of experience breaking down complex systems, finding where they fail people, and fixing them.

Before passing the California Bar on her first attempt in 2025, Sajida spent decades as a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt, helping organizations transform complexity into clarity through data, discipline, and precision. That analytical foundation shapes everything about how she practices law. She doesn't just argue, she builds cases the way an engineer builds a structure: methodically, deliberately, and with every detail accounted for.

Her practice centers on criminal defense and civil rights litigation. She represents individuals who have been stopped without cause, searched without justification, prosecuted on fabricated evidence, or subjected to excessive force by the people sworn to protect them. She takes these cases seriously — because she knows that for the people living them, the stakes are everything.

Sajida is not a courthouse deal-maker. She is a trial-ready advocate who reads the record, studies the footage, and finds what others miss. Her clients get a lawyer who has done the work before she walks in the room.

She holds a B.A. in Theatre Arts, an M.S. in Management, and a J.D. from Purdue Global Law School. She is admitted to the California State Bar and the Western District of Wisconsin.

At her core, Sajida Johnson is a builder of cases, of arguments, and of second chances.
