Kent Johnson has been a volunteer for the Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma's 3rd Saturday Legal Clinic for about five years. Kent provides legal advice to clients at the clinic, and also accepts cases for full representation. Recently, Kent met a family at the 3rd Saturday Legal Clinic, who needed an adult guardianship for their daughter, who had recently turned 18. She has a medical condition which will substantially shorten her lifespan, so it was essential that a guardianship be put in place to allow the parents to take care of her needs. Regardless of her situation, she has a great outlook on life. She came decked out in purple with a Bieber shirt, blanket and the whole nine yards because she loves Justin Bieber so much! The Make-A-Wish Foundation was sponsoring a trip to California so that she could see Bieber in concert. Kent accepted the guardianship case and was able to get the guardianship granted to enable the parents to properly care for their sweet daughter ... and, she had a great time at the Bieber concert. It was an experience she will never forget!

Another Saturday, Kent walked into the clinic with a client in tow. Kent met the client at a church where the client worked for food and a place to shower and store his belongings. The client has been homeless for many years and slept at night in bushes in front of the Church, due to his perceived hopelessness of his situation. The client was interviewed and the attorneys came up with a plan to resolve client's legal issues involving a probate and child support. Kent accepted his case and spent time negotiating everything for client, and ultimately was successful in getting everything squared away, so that client would have a fresh start on life. Without Kent's help, this man would still be in the same situation and would still be living on the streets as a result. Kent has made a positive impact on the lives of these clients, as well as many other clients who would otherwise go unserved.
