Matthew Johnson has been named a new partner at Carpenter, McGuire & DeWulf law office in Colfax.

He joined the firm in 2014 after graduating from St. Louis University Law School that May.

Johnson worked in the Davenport office of Carpenter, McGuire & DeWulf until last September, after which he and wife Tayler, originally from Rosalia, moved to Colfax.

Johnson, who is the Colfax office manager, works on various estate planning, probate and buying and selling of land matters for what is known primarily as a transactional law firm.

The five partners in the firm are Ken Carpenter, Rusty McGuire, Mark DeWulf, John Kragt and Johnson.

Kragt became a partner in 2017 for the firm which originally began in the 1940s serving Davenport and Spokane as Underwood Campbell. Names changed over the years.

Johnson became a partner Jan. 1.

"Great firm, been happy to be a part of it," he said.

Johnson is the son of Mark and Robyn Johnson, who own Tick Klock Pharmacy.

Matthew grew up in Colfax and graduated from Colfax High School in 2006. He earned a degree from Pacific Lutheran University in business finance before attending law school.
