Brenton James Bohannon

I originally called Mr. Bohannon's office related to a non-compliance charge against my husband for interlock violation. We previously worked with another attorney but because the attorney was also friends with the judge and court employees in a small town, time and effort did not seem to be taken ...for fair evaluation of my husband's case and the attorney did not seem to address certain issues with the judge on behalf of clients due to his personal conflict of interest. My husband was not under court order for interlock but instead in a voluntary program. Thus, these charges should never have been filed. I searched for an attorney outside of the usual local group and located Mr. Bohannon. I called on a Sunday to leave a message as I needed representation ASAP and actually got a call back that very day! I was impressed with his communication skills, empathy for both myself and husband, and prompt response. I was able to schedule an in person meeting within a couple of days. At that meeting, he dedicated uninterrupted time to my husband's case, explaining what the possible scenarios might be in court and how he would handle each one, as needed. He worked diligently on my husband's behalf to keep him from spending time in jail, away from work and family, understanding that he was in a voluntary program. He was not afraid to discuss that my husband was not actually under court supervision and thus non-compliance charges were not appropriate. He began working with the DA before even entering the courtroom, ensuring that court proceedings went smoothly. Attorneys should do the job that they are hired to do, regardless of their relationships with court employees in the community and with Mr. Bohannon, it was clear that he took his job seriously and worked to get the best results for his client. If you do not have trust and rapport with your attorney, you are less likely to have success and Mr. Bohannon established both of these immediately and continued to exemplify this professionalism throughout the process.

Mr. Bohannon took on a complex case of mine in the summer of 2016. He worked hard and quite effectively to limit the damage from the case over the next two years. Brent knows the system, he knows the people, he cares about his clients, he gives good advice, and he gets positive results. You can't fin...d a better criminal defense attorney in Central Virginia.

I hired this Lawer for speed ticket. His fee was very high but he promised to dismiss the case. After hearing he said case dismissed and I have to pay court fee and take driving school. I did but after 1.5 month I got fine from court, suspended driver license and etc. don’t hire this lawer. He is not... telling the truth.

Although I would like to have zero issues that necessitate Mr. Bohannon's services, if I had to pick up the phone to contact an attorney for traffic court it would be him. He was informative, educational and kind when addressing my needs. He made sure that I understood all of my options before we m...oved forward on anything and he answered my questions thoroughly before we got in front of the judge. One of the things that seems to help in general is the relationship that your attorney has with the court, through continuances and appeals I was in front of several judges and DA's with him and they demonstrated willingness to work with him and a genuine respect for him. Whether you think so or not, I am sure that this went a long way in his ability to negotiate with "the court". He didn't pander or come across as weak when dealing with them but had a natural rapport with everyone that we came across. The outcome from my appeal could not have gone any better down to having 2 of 3 traffic charges dismissed and the most leninent and least disruptive sentencing that I could have hoped for. I watched him argue on my behalf and use all of the tools of his trade without appearing slick or disingenuous to the judge and ultimately it made me confident that he would be more helpful than harmful in my case. I breathe a lot easier after having selected him as my attorney and recommend that you contact him if you are seeking someone that treats you like more than a case file. I appreciate everything that he did for me.
