Kandy Huelsman

Senior Legal Assistant to William Johnston, Jr

Kandy has been a valued member of Johnston Moore & Weston since 1999, beginning her career with the firm as a real estate closer and legal assistant. It wasn’t long before she became the dedicated legal assistant to founding partner William Johnston, Jr—a role she’s held with loyalty and excellence ever since.

With a solid background in real estate closings, paralegal work, and bookkeeping, Kandy plays a crucial role in keeping Mr. Johnston and his family’s various business ventures running smoothly and efficiently. Her attention to detail, deep institutional knowledge, and unwavering dedication make her an indispensable part of the team.

Outside the office, Kandy enjoys spending quality time with her longtime husband, Kurt. She loves traveling, golfing, boating, and starting her days with a workout and breakfast among friends. A sun-lover at heart, she’s happiest in warm weather—and never misses a chance to spoil the Johnston family children as if they were her own.

Kandy is deeply loved by her colleagues and respected throughout the community for her warmth, professionalism, and years of service.
