M. Johnston |

Abigail
joined The Marks Law Firm in October of 2006 after spending
six (6) years advocating for injured clients in both Virginia
and Florida. Since her move to the Central Florida
area in 2002, Abigail has worked closely with the Legal
Aid Society of the Orange County Bar Association as a
Guardian ad Litem (GAL) and participating in Teen Court.
Additionally, she has actively participated in various
capacities with the Burnett Honors College at the University
of Central Florida, mentoring students and serving on
the Alumni Chapter’s Board.
Abigail is committed to child advocacy and protecting the
best interests of minor children. However, recognizing
that conflict, even in families, provides an opportunity
to solve problems and seek solutions for each member of
a family in crisis, Abigail welcomes the opportunity to
come alongside her clients and assist them through the legal
process. |
