Anthony Johnson's journey of failure and perseverance forces him to reevaluate what it means to innovate; but, his story is less important than his message - change the discussion so that the next generation understands innovation to mean unlimited paths to success rather than one, virtually-assured path to fail.

Anthony C, Johnson is the CEO and co-Founder of American Injury Attorney Group and a managing partner of Johnson & Vines, PLLC. Both companies are committed to raising awareness of potential claims for people harmed by dangerous drugs, defective medical devices, product recalls, and other personal injury cases around the country.

Johnson received a BA in computer engineering from the University of Arkansas and a Juris Doctorate from UALR Bowen School of Law. Prior to becoming an attorney, Anthony worked in web development, internet startups, and finance. He has been published by Forbes, Inc., Yahoo!, ABA Journal, and many others relating to his tech expertise and law firm business strategies. He has been named one of “America’s Techiest Lawyers” by the American Bar Association, Top 40 Under 40 National Trial Lawyers, and has presented at the United Nations as one of the top 100 entrepreneurs under 35 by Empact Showcase.
