GEORGE JOHNSON
My Background
A native of Cleveland Ohio, I moved to the Akron area as a teenager. I retired from the city of Akron as a Code Compliance Supervisor in the Department of Neighborhood Assistance. Following over 29 years of service, I was offered a part-time position with the Mendenhall Law Group in October 2021 as the Labor & Government Liaison.
I have an extensive background working and serving multiple unions, including the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). Two of the many positions I held were Field Organizer and Union President. When people ask me how I like my role in this law firm, I tell them I have retired and gone to retired-man Heaven!
In my free time, I enjoy playing with my three grandsons, having good conversations with my adult children and friends, having a beer or two with my coworkers, and having lunch every day with my coworkers from the Mendenhall Legal Group. In addition, I love fishing and riding my Harley Davidson motorcycle.
WHY WORK WITH ME?
After over 29 years of service with the city of Akron, I have extensive experience in how local governments operate. I offer my expertise in many areas that may benefit your case. There is no greater feeling than helping people.
