Andre Johnson was Born in Decoy, St Mary in the Jamaica West Indies to humble beginnings. In his formative years, he experienced severe hardship and counts his numerous accomplishments as nothing short of a miracle and the dreams of his mother. As early as he could remember, he aspired to become a criminal defense attorney and acted upon these aspirations by pursuing a double major in history and linguistics at the University of the West Indies, Mona in Jamaica, and attaining a Bachelor of Laws at the University of the West a Indies, Cave Hill, Barbados. Andre had hopes to engage in private practice and to eventually open his own firm. These aspirations changed when he began the Masters of Laws program at the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University, Long Island, NY. He developed a strong interest in bringing an awareness to systemic racial injustice in the legal system and cumulative disadvantages that engender and perpetuates systemic discrimination against the poor and women of color. His desire to advocate on behalf of the voiceless and marginalized and practice criminal defense married with his recruitment and placement at the Knox County Public Defender's Community Law Office.
