Our firm was established in 1979 when W. Morgan Johnson and Robert Fort, well respected Sacramento attorneys, joined forces and created the Law Offices of Johnson and Fort. The firms focus was then, and remains, in the areas of business, estate planning, real estate and probate.  In the early-1980's the firm added a young tax attorney John Meissner and a former Certified Public Accountant, Irving Joseph.  The name was officially changed to Johnson, Fort, Meissner and Joseph in 1985. The firm continued to flourish, even with the deaths of Mr. Fort and Mr. Johnson in 1999.  Also in 1999 the firm added John Palley as an associate attorney.  In 2004 the firm added Sasha Oberle as an associate and in 2005 added Amy Ruggles to the list of attorneys. In 2005 the firm admitted John Palley as a shareholder and changed the firm name to Johnson, Fort, Meissner, Joseph and Palley.
