Meet Brittany S. Johnson:

Analytical Precision & Legal Expertise

B. S. Johnson Law is led by Ms. Brittany S. Johnson, a Richmond native with a deep-seated passion for her community and a unique academic background that distinguishes her in the Virginia legal field.

Ms. Johnson is not your typical attorney. Before entering the legal profession, she graduated from the University of Virginia with a double major in Engineering Science and Physics. This scientific background provides her with a distinct advantage: she approaches legal issues with the analytical precision, logic, and structured problem-solving skills of an engineer. Where others see confusion, Ms. Johnson sees a system that can be analyzed, understood, and resolved.

She earned her law degree from the University of Richmond School of Law, receiving a Certificate of Concentration in Intellectual Property. Her legal acumen was sharpened through prestigious internships that gave her an insider’s view of the justice system. She served as a judicial intern to the Honorable Henry E. Hudson and the Honorable Roderick C. Young of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. Additionally, her tenure at the Supreme Court of Virginia and the Virginia Attorney General’s Office provided her with invaluable insight into how decisions are made at the highest levels of the state.

Today, she channels that experience into B. S. Johnson Law, providing dedicated support to individuals and families throughout Virginia.

Divorce & Family Law Services

Ending a marriage is one of life’s most difficult transitions. However, it does not have to be a financial or emotional battleground. At B. S. Johnson Law, we focus on streamlining the process to save you time, emotional energy, and money. We specialize in uncontested and cooperative paths to resolution.

Uncontested Divorces

We guide spouses through the legal requirements of ending their marriage efficiently.

• Separated 1 Year: For couples who have lived apart for a year, we handle the filing to finalize the process smoothly.
• Separated 6 Months: If you have no minor children and a signed separation agreement, we can fast-track your divorce in as little as six months.
• With or Without Minor Children: We handle cases involving children with the utmost sensitivity. If the parties agree on custody and support, we ensure the court orders reflect your mutual decisions.
  

 Cooperative Divorces & Agreements

• Cooperative Divorces: For couples who wish to work together to dissolve their marriage without litigation, we offer cooperative divorce solutions that prioritize dignity and respect over conflict.
• Separation Agreements: A solid foundation is key. We draft comprehensive, signed separation agreements that clearly outline the terms of your separation, asset division, and debts, protecting your interests from day one.

Planning for the future is the ultimate act of love for your family. It is about ensuring that your voice is heard even when you cannot speak. Our estate planning services are designed to ensure your assets are protected and your wishes are honored, all for a transparent flat fee.
