As firm leaders, Valerie Johnson and Ann Groninger bring their personal experience as problem solvers who also juggle work and family to their professional roles at Johnson & Groninger. With their personal injury and workers compensation practice, Johnson & Groninger encourages its attorneys to become involved in their communities and take on roles that can lead to leadership opportunities.

Five attorneys practice at Johnson & Groninger, four of whom are women. The firm believes it is important for women lawyers to be visible in the communities in which they practice. The firm believes women who are leaders in law and business can help those in need and inspire women who aspire to be lawyers in the future.

Both Johnson and Groninger support younger lawyers in multiple ways, including mentorship, internship opportunities, moot court coaching, and teaching. They also serve as leaders in associations that further the education and professionalism of women lawyers and are always available to help and share information.
