Rachel Frazier Johnson Law
I’m Rachel Frazier Johnson, Esq., a seasoned attorney with more than 27 years of litigation experience and a strong focus on personal injury law. As the founder and managing attorney of Rachel Frazier Johnson Law in Phoenix, Arizona, I’ve dedicated my career to helping individuals and families recover from devastating accidents, including auto collisions, catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, and medical malpractice. I pride myself on delivering personalized legal guidance that is compassionate, client-centered, and results-driven.
My legal journey began as a public defender in Tucson, advocating for indigent clients facing serious felony charges. I later served as a senior attorney in the Securities Division of the Arizona Corporation Commission and as managing attorney in the Child and Family Division at the Arizona Attorney General’s Office. These public service roles helped shape my approach grounded in integrity, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of the legal system.
Outside the courtroom, I’ve served for over 18 years as a pro tem and appellate judge for the Tohono O’odham Nation, a role that requires both cultural sensitivity and legal precision. I’ve also been active in initiatives focused on human trafficking and disability rights and have held leadership roles with organizations such as the Arizona Civil Rights Advisory Board, Arizona Black Bar, and the Arizona Women Lawyers Association.
Since founding my firm in 2013, I’ve built a team that shares my commitment to excellence and compassion. At Rachel Frazier Johnson Law, we believe every client deserves an advocate who listens, educates, and fights relentlessly for justice. If you’ve been injured and need a legal partner who will walk with you every step of the way, my team and I are here to serve.
