Anne M. Buckley-Johnson
Accredited Veterans Attorney
Anne Buckley-Johnson has been practicing law for 27 years. Right out of law school, she landed a Judicial Law Clerk position for appeals judge Michael Patrick King, NJ Appellate Division. From there she worked as a litigator for Sills Cummis, a top-rated NJ law firm.
Anne’s true passion lies in assisting veterans in receiving their deserved compensation for the services they provide in protecting this country. In 2014, she established Buckley Johnson Law Firm so she could focus on helping U.S. military veterans file appeals to obtain disability compensation from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Anne is a also public speaker on VA disability appeals. She makes presentations for various veterans organizations regarding the disability appeals process, including updates and changes in VA disability law.
Having a heart for her local community, Anne volunteers her time. Her extensive volunteer efforts and leadership positions include PTO co-president at her children’s school, co-coordinator of a local chapter of MOPS, an international mom’s organization, co-leader of the Somerset County 4-H Discovery Prep Club, and teacher for the Girls Club program at her local church. Anne is also the founder, former coordinator and now volunteer of the $1-2-3 Gently-Used Fall and Spring Clothing Sales and Holiday Toy Sale at the Bradley Gardens School in Bridgewater, NJ. This fundraiser helps the community by providing quality, gently-used items at reasonable prices, encourages families to recycle by accepting donations of items for the sales, and helps the students by raising thousands of dollars for student events, equipment and technology.
