Our services · Two ways to work with us
Two ways to work with us.One Kentucky lawyer.
Johnson Legal PLLC offers two doors into the same firm. Bluegrass Cornerstone is our document-services storefront — a registered Kentucky assumed name (DBA) of Johnson Legal PLLC under KRS 365.015 — for high-volume Kentucky legal documents at fixed flat fees. JL Direct is the same firm for matters that need attorney-led custom drafting. Same Kentucky lawyer. Same Rules of Professional Conduct.
Door one · Bluegrass Cornerstone
Bluegrass Cornerstone — fixed flat fees, Kentucky documents.
Bluegrass Cornerstone is the document-services storefront operated under the Johnson Legal PLLC firm — registered as an assumed name (DBA) with the Kentucky Secretary of State under KRS 365.015. The catalog covers the high-volume Kentucky legal documents most clients need: wills, durable powers of attorney, healthcare powers of attorney, advance directives, transfer-on-death deeds, revocable living trusts, HIPAA authorizations, and ancillary documents. Every catalog item has a published flat fee and a defined scope.
Same Kentucky lawyer reviews every Cornerstone document substantively before delivery — Elton Johnson, KY Bar # 101547. Same Rules of Professional Conduct apply (SCR 3.130). AI assists with drafting under KBA Ethics Opinion E-457 (March 15, 2024); the lawyer signs off on every output.
Door two · JL Direct
JL Direct — attorney-led custom drafting.
When the matter needs more than a catalog document, you engage Johnson Legal PLLC directly. Same Kentucky lawyer; attorney-led drafting throughout. Published flat fees on the most common engagements:

Same firm, same rules
Two doors. One Kentucky law firm.
Bluegrass Cornerstone DBA and JL Direct are the same Kentucky law firm — Johnson Legal PLLC — under one attorney's license. The DBA distinction matters for branding and pricing presentation: the Cornerstone catalog handles documents that lend themselves to fixed-scope flat fees; JL Direct handles matters that need custom attorney-led work. The ethical framework is identical across both: SCR 3.130 Kentucky Rules of Professional Conduct, KBA Ethics Opinion E-457 (March 15, 2024) on AI use, and substantive attorney review on every document before it leaves the firm.
AI assists with drafting, research, and summarization across our practice. The lawyer is responsible for the work. You can decline AI use on your matter; that does not change the published flat fee.
