Introduction
The phrase the firm uses to describe its reputation, The Lawyer Other Lawyers Hire, is not marketing language. Camic Johnson, Ltd. has represented more lawyers charged with crimes than any other firm in the Aurora, Illinois area, and 80 percent of its new clients arrive through referrals from former clients and other attorneys. That referral volume reflects a track record that professionals with direct knowledge of the legal system have chosen to rely on. Founded by David E. Camic and Gary V. Johnson, the firm operates from offices at 546 W. Galena Blvd., Aurora, IL 60506 and 207 W. State St., Suite D, Sycamore, IL 60178, serving Kane County and five surrounding Illinois counties.

Practice Areas
The firm concentrates on three areas: criminal defense, DUI and traffic, and personal injury.
Criminal Defense
Camic Johnson handles criminal cases from DUI charges through murder. The range is deliberately broad: the firm has represented priests, school teachers, police officers, prosecutors, judges, justices, principals, other lawyers, elected officials, gang members, and drug dealers. That diversity of clientele reflects a firm that does not select cases based on client profile but on the quality of defense it can deliver.
Appeals and post-conviction litigation are a specific strength. The firm takes over cases from other lawyers after adverse judgments, working to reverse convictions or secure new trials at the appellate and post-conviction stage. David Camic’s 9.9 Avvo rating indicates a high standard of peer recognition.
DUI and Traffic
The DUI and traffic practice handles DUI charges, driving on suspended or revoked licenses, and other traffic matters throughout Kane County and surrounding jurisdictions. The firm’s stated goal for these cases is a smooth, efficient process with minimum stress and the lowest legal fees possible. This framing prioritizes practical resolution for clients whose lives have been disrupted by a traffic-related charge.
Personal Injury
The personal injury practice holds other parties and insurance companies accountable when accidents turn clients’ lives upside down. The attorneys pursue compensation from at-fault parties and fight insurance company tactics designed to minimize payouts.
Attorney Profiles
David E. Camic co-founded Camic Johnson, Ltd. and holds a 9.9 Avvo rating, reflecting recognition from peers and the legal rating system for quality of practice. His experience spans criminal cases from DUI to murder, including appeals and post-conviction work.
Gary V. Johnson co-founded the firm alongside Camic. Together, they built a practice whose reputation is strong enough that 80 percent of new clients come through referrals, and whose specific expertise in representing lawyers charged with crimes is unique in the regional market.
The firm’s client list includes representatives from nearly every sector of professional and community life, reflecting the breadth of cases the attorneys have handled over the years.

Client Focus
The firm’s client philosophy is explicit: the firm believes it is not only the client on trial but the firm’s own reputation as well. This framing treats each case as a test of the firm’s standards, alongside the client’s legal situation. The commitment produces the referral volume that drives the practice: former clients and other lawyers send new clients because the outcomes and the representation quality justify that confidence.
The goal of minimum stress and lowest legal fees on DUI and traffic matters reflects a practical understanding that clients in those cases often need resolution without additional financial burden.
