She subsequently attended the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law, graduating in 2003, and was admitted to practice law in Tennessee the same year. After graduating from law school, Bozeman spent a ten-year stint at a Tennessee law firm where she gained substantial litigation experience representing clients in state and federal courts and rose to partner in the firm. She subsequently served in the attorney’s office of Shelby County, Tennessee for several years, first as assistant county attorney where she defended a wide range of civil lawsuits and also acted as chief ethics officer, and later as lead contracts attorney. While in Tennessee she also served as a senior judicial law clerk for judges on the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals and Tennessee Supreme Court.

Ginny and her family relocated to Columbia, SC in 2020, and she has been licensed to practice law in South Carolina since 2021. Immediately after moving to Columbia, Ginny served as an adjunct legal research professor at the University of South Carolina School of Law, providing her with the invaluable opportunity to engage with local legal scholars and students.

She also counseled governmental entities on day-to-day issues and more complex aspects of governmental practice including redistricting, utility, zoning, and permitting matters.

The primary focus of Ginny’s practice is governmental counsel. She currently serves as town attorney to a growing municipality in the Midlands and lead county attorney to a small South Carolina county. In addition to governmental related litigation, Ginny has extensive experience advising governmental entities on complex legal matters, drafting and negotiating governmental contracts, drafting ordinances and resolutions, and drafting and presenting training materials to elected officials, department heads, and employees on compliance with applicable laws.
