Need a legal partner who thinks like a founder? Let’s talk.
Alexis Johnson founded AFJ Law Group for business owners who want legal counsel that reflects how business actually works.
Before becoming an attorney, Alexis was a business owner herself. She understands the weight of decision-making, the pressure of growth, and the consequences of getting things “mostly right” instead of structurally sound. That perspective shapes her work today.
Alexis began her legal career in litigation, where she developed a reputation as a sharp strategist in high-stakes business disputes. Over time, her practice evolved — not away from litigation skill, but toward using that experience proactively. Her focus is now on helping clients make strategic legal decisions before conflict, confusion, or misalignment forces their hand.
Through AFJ Law Group, Alexis advises founders, creatives, and real estate investors on business structuring, complex contracts, commercial real estate matters, and select litigation where judgment and strategy truly matter. Her work is intentional, high-touch, and designed for clients who value clarity over volume.
Alexis has been recognized as a Super Lawyers Rising Star (2022–2025), a Go-To Lawyer for Business Transactions, and was named to Michigan Lawyers Weekly’s 2025 Class of Influential Women of the Law.
She serves on the boards of CREW Detroit and the Detroit Bar Association.
When clients work with Alexis, they’re partnering with an advisor who understands risk, leverage, and what it takes to build something that lasts.

"Alexis is an outstanding attorney who embodies the qualities one would seek in legal representation. Her preparedness, intelligence, dependability, persistence, and caring nature make her a true asset to her clients. I wholeheartedly recommend Alexis to anyone in need of legal assistance, as she consistently goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional results."
