Craig E. Johnson

Craig E. Johnson is a partner with Johnson, Mottinger & Greenwood PLLP in Fargo. His practice includes business and corporate law, civil litigation, real estate, wills, trusts and estates, personal injury, and related matters. Johnson has practiced in North Dakota for more than four decades and works across both transactional and disputed matters, giving clients access to counsel for business planning, property issues, estate concerns, and litigation when conflicts arise.

Johnson earned a B.S. from North Dakota State University in 1977 and a J.D. from the University of North Dakota in 1980. He was admitted to practice in North Dakota in 1980 and Minnesota in 1982. His education and long-standing licensure provide a foundation for a broad general practice that spans business law, real estate, estate planning, probate, personal injury, and civil litigation, including matters that may involve both planning and courtroom advocacy.

Over the course of his practice, Johnson has represented clients in areas that include business law, estate planning, real estate, wrongful death, personal injury, probate, and civil litigation. The firm’s current materials identify him as a partner and list civil litigation, business or corporate work, personal injury, real estate, and wills, trusts, and estates among his practice areas. That breadth allows him to address legal issues that can overlap across personal, property, and business concerns.

Craig E. Johnson remains an active North Dakota attorney and continues to practice from Fargo. His career reflects sustained work across core civil practice areas rather than a single narrow specialty. For clients, that background can be useful when a matter involves several legal dimensions, such as a business dispute connected to property or an estate issue with litigation risk. Johnson brings long-term familiarity with North Dakota practice to planning, negotiation, and contested civil matters.
