Listens to Clients

I would recommend Mr. Bohannon to any party that requires environmental representation. He has an ability to get to the core of issues quickly, and has broad experience in handling all facets of environmental issues, from public perception and relations, to courtroom strategy, from multi-national cor...porations to small regional clients. Mr. Bohannon has a unique ability to extract the utmost from experts, clients, and people with whom he is working. Mr. Bohannon listens to his clients and experts more than any other attorney I have known.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
