My Divorce Attorney Brent Bohan

Brent Bohan represented me in my Divorce. Brent was kind, caring and professional, giving me confidence and peace of mind during this emotional period. I would recommend Brent and his team heartily. Mark

Outstanding professional

Brent is an exceptional resource for divorce law. He provided a comprehensive consultation related to my divorce. Navigating the legal process during such a stressful time is challenging and Brent provided a clear perspective on all aspects of the legal process. His paralegal Candice also provided... quick clear communications on all of the paperwork I needed to navigate. An outstanding team that I would highly recommend to anyone in need of representation or assistance related to a divorce or family law.

Posted by Jeremy | May 28, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Professional, Helpful & Caring

I highly recommend Brent and his Paralegal Candice. Throughout my divorce proceedings they both proved themselves to be highly competent, professional, helpful and caring. I was impressed by Brent's knowledge and willingness to share his perspective and offer advice, while at the same time never push...ing me or forcing me in any particular direction when important decisions had to be made. If you are looking for a Divorce or Family Law Attorney that genuinely cares about his clients and wants the best for them, look no further than Brent.

Brent is an amazing lawyer

Brent is an amazing lawyer! He is very knowledgeable and honest. He made this drawn out divorce and child custody go as smooth as it could of been. He really went to bat for not only me but for the well being of my daughter. He really showed that he cared for the best for us. Even when crazy allegati...ons about me were brought up and when my ex-husband started to attack him, Brent stayed very professional. Brent would make sure I knew what all the legal terms meant and answered any question I had. Brent and his legal team were always quick to get back to me. He really listened to what I needed for the end result and finally got him to settle outside of court. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and so glad I hired Brent. I would recommend Brent Bohan to any one looking for a layer in Family law. Brent went above and beyond for me.

Posted by Ryan | October 23, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Very Helpful During Difficult Times

I worked with Brent on my recent divorce (5/1/18 to 9/15/18) and would highly recommend him to others. He was very easy to work with and was their to answer all of my "silly" questions without ever making me feel stupid for asking them. Take your time and pick a attorney that is going to be helpf...ul and work for you. I would suggest Brent without hesitation for anyone going through this difficult life transition.

"I endorse this lawyer. I am a family law attorney in Arizona. I had a situation in which I needed assistance in a case, because my client's children visit the Seattle area for parenting time with the other parent. I was unclear if the same legal principles of "joint legal decision making authority" existed in Washington to authorize treatment of minor children. Mr. Bohan did not hesitate to answer my call and immediately assist me. Thank you!"

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.
