Firm History

In 1977, Kevin’s father, Roy S. Bennett, Jr. purchased the building at 11125 Johnson Dr, and operated his law practice from there for 23 years. When Roy unexpectedly passed away in April of 2000, Kevin elected to resign his partnership in a large Overland Park-based law firm and return to Shawnee to take over his father’s practice. Kevin’s mother Karon served as Roy’s legal assistant prior to his death and continued on with Kevin until her retirement in 2004.

Mark and Kevin previously practiced together for the same law firm and were familiar with one another’s values, talents and skills. After a few years of prodding, Kevin convinced Mark that he should join him in Shawnee and they formed Bennett & Bodine, P.A. in 2004. Shortly thereafter, in light of their deep commitment to downtown Shawnee, they undertook a significant exterior remodeling of the 1920’s era rock front building they called home.

Proudly located in the heart of Shawnee, KS on Johnson Drive.
