About Samantha
Biography
Samantha Bohannon focuses her practice in the areas of Criminal Law, DUI, Traffic Violations, and Family Law. 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. Just say you want Samantha!

Good attorney honest and understanding
I hired Ms bohannon to represent me on a custody case, she did an outstanding job. Unlike other attorneys,she is attentive,and will listen to you,and can pretty much tell you what to expect before even going in the court room. I would highly recommend her.
Posted by Tammy | August 24, 2022 | Child Custody
Excellent advice
Only spoke to her for a short time. She told me everything I need to do to start my child custody case. Will hire her when time to go to court. I called 4 different lawyers and spoke with secretaries, Samantha returned my phone call personally. Honest lawyer.
