BOHANNON LEGAL - Key Persons

Brenton Bohannon focuses his practice in the areas of Criminal Law, DUI, Traffic Violations, and Family Law. Before joining the firm, Mr. Bohannon served as an Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney for New Kent County Virginia, where he prosecuted hundreds of criminal and traffic cases in the Circuit, General District, and the Juvenile & Domestic Relations District Courts. His experience as a prosecutor, along with his psychology and education background, provide a unique perspective on how to best represent clients, whether he is defending a criminal case, litigating a contested divorce or resolving a child support issue. Before becoming an attorney, Mr. Bohannon's first career was in education. The knowledge and skills he developed while serving in the administration of a public school system and teaching High School Biology is a great asset to clients. Mr. Bohannon is an effective advocate for his clients and has established relationships with his former colleagues, which benefit his clients. When not practicing law, Mr. Bohannon is actively engaged in community service, social outreach, and serving in the Lions Clubs International.

Samantha Bohannon focuses her practice in the areas of Criminal Law, Traffic Violations, Family Law, Civil Litigation, and Estate Planning. Before opening her own firm, Mrs. Bohannon served as a Magistrate for Region Six, which includes Richmond, Henrico, New Kent, Williamsburg, York/Poquoson, James City, Gloucester, Mathews, Middlesex, King and Queen, King William, West Point and Charles City. Mrs. Bohannon's prestigious position has given her a unique understanding on probable cause and common errors law enforcement officers typically make. Often times law enforcement has more than enough evidence to convict you, but that doesn't mean you're guilty. Not only is it the Commonwealth's burden to prove you are guilty, but it is also their duty to follow the law. Mrs. Bohannon's years of experience as a Magistrate makes her especially skilled in spotting suppression issues that could keep you out of jail. Don't settle for the attorneys who tell you that they will "hold your hand through a guilty plea" or "work hard to get you a deal." Instead, call Samantha Bohannon and have her find a way to keep you out of jail. "Mrs. Bohannon, has by far, exceeded my expectations for council. …I hired her for my child support case and she was responsive, stayed in communication with me, and guided me through the process."
