Beresford Booth Welcomes Litigation Attorney Malika I. Johnson
Malika is a high-stakes litigator. For almost 20 years, she has built a proven record of securing favorable outcomes for her clients. Malika is dedicated to advocating for individuals, families, and entities in state and federal trial courts, as well as on appeal.
Widely respected by her peers, Malika is a top-rated attorney who has been recognized as a Washington Super Lawyer for three consecutive years. Her breadth of experience, combined with an unwavering commitment to justice, makes her an effective and resilient practitioner.
Throughout her career, Malika has served on local, regional, and national trial teams. Whether prosecuting claims for plaintiffs or executing robust defenses, she provides innovative strategies, meticulous case-building, and zealous representation in every matter.
“Malika is a proven professional,” said Bill Kessler, Beresford Booth partner and chair of the firm’s Litigation Group. “Malika brings the same client-first mindset that defines our practice at Beresford Booth. Talent like hers strengthens our ability to deliver outstanding client results.”
Before entering private practice, Malika served as a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney in the Special Assault Unit of the Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

In every case, Malika diligently advocates for her clients with integrity and purpose.
