About Brenton
Brenton Bohannon studied psychology at Eckerd College earlier than turning to law on the Appalachian School of Law. He earned a B.A. in psychology and later a J.D. The shift from behavioral science to legal learn about helped shape an approach that balances factual element with attention to people.
His professional life began outdoor the court. In 2005 he worked as an instructor and director in the Okeechobee School District. That early position in education gave him experience managing complex schedules and communicating with numerous groups. He returned to the legal world as a law intern in 2011 with the Commonwealth’s attorney in Buchanan County, then moved into law clerk roles at Bohannon Legal in 2012 and 2013. Those positions led quickly to practice roles: a contract lawyer and then running beneath his own call in 2013.
By 2014 his résumé covered work as an Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney in New Kent County and a stint at RILEY & WELLS - Lawyers-At-Law. Those roles put him on each sides of the courtroom aisle. He treated prosecutorial responsibilities in the commonwealth’s workplace and managed casework in personal practice. In 2017 he based Bohannon & Associates. That workplace later became Bohannon & Associates, P.L.L.C., the place he continues to practice.
The arc of Bohannon’s profession indicates a mix of public service and private practice. Time as an assistant commonwealth attorney supplied court publicity and an understanding of how local felony systems function. Private-practice work required client counseling, legal strategy and settlement negotiation. Colleagues and clients have encountered him at arraignments, proceedings and in more extended legal proceedings processes.
Today he practices in Virginia through Bohannon & Associates, P.L.L.C. His background spans roles in prosecution, private practice and solo work. He remains engaged in courtroom work and client representation in things springing up under Virginia regulation. Current practice makes a speciality of representing clients in matters in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
