Johnson Law Group LLC is proud to announce our newest attorney, Ken D. Eckhauser. Ken has a wealth of experience coming to JLG, having worked as a public defender for years in Springfield, MO, having handled hundreds of felony and misdemeanor cases that run the criminal law gauntlet, including First Degree Murder, DUI, drug cases, domestic cases, sex offenses, etc. Prior to that, Ken worked for a large civil defense firm in Phoenix, AZ, where he handled medical malpractice, construction defects and negligence cases.  
While in law school, Ken worked at the Goldwater Institute and worked for Arizona Supreme Court Justice Clint Bolick, where he handled cases involving the Indian Child Welfare Act, Environmental Protection Agency, Food and Drug Administration, Affordable Care Act, Campaign Finance, Due Process, and Open Meetings Laws.
Ken graduated with a JD from Arizona Summit Law School in Phoenix, AZ, an MBA from Roosevelt University in Chicago, and a BA from Bowling Green State University in Ohio. While in Chicago, Ken started his own personal training business and invented a physical therapy device, which he successfully marketed to local hospitals and various occupational therapy practices. In his free-time, Ken enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling to the family fishing cottage in Ohio and golfing.
