Highly Recommend

Atty. Bonanno was hired to represent my son in a case involving SORB. Entanglement in the legal system is frightening and the stakes extremely high. I cannot say enough how much we appreciate not only her knowledge and passion to apply the law and see it through but the many times we called with que...stions and never felt we were inconveniencing her, but that she truly cared. Having never been in a situation involving the law and experiencing the truly life changing consequences, I cannot stress enough the importance of having someone like her on your side. We are eternally grateful that she has the knowledge of law and is passionate about it, resulting in success in our son's case.

Well prepared, Detailed, and Outstanding Attorney

Atty. Sabrina Bonanno helped me in a criminal defense case. After the first time we spoke, Atty Bonanno started preparing my case instantly. She would answer all my questions as well as let me know what to be prepared for or expect could happen in detail. It became apparent to me just after a few co...nversations Atty Bonanno was in my corner and representing me 100% in my best interest. Whenever we had court date, I felt confident knowing I was well represented. It’s a great feeling having someone go the extra mile to represent you and be as prepared as Atty. Bonanno was. I will never use another attorney again and would highly recommend her to anyone. You will never be disappointed with how hard she works for you, returns all calls and emails promptly and will prepare you and your case.

Life saving Defense Attorney

Attorney Bonanno was an absolute miracle worker in the two cases that she represented me in. She was extremely well prepared in these cases and communicated perfectly for over 2 years. The pandemic pushed back my cases for multiple years, yet Sabrina never lost focus on me as a client. She has utter ...confidence, and always made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I highly highly recommend Sabrina if you need a rock-solid defense, tact cross examination, and straight to the point arguments. The jury in my trial could not disagree with her, and truly understood the definition of real proof. I have moved out of Boston, but she would absolutely be my attorney if had still been in the area. 10/10 WOULD ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND

Would highly recommend if you need an attorney!

Attorney Bonanno was court appointed to me. And I am very Blessed that she was my attorney. She listened to me, and was always very clear as to my options. From the first time we meant until the trial, was just over a year. I meant with her several times in court, and in her office. She was alwa...ys very professional, and treated me with respect the whole time. She worked extremely hard on my case. As a result I was found not guilty! I would highly recommend you meeting with her if you need legal assistance. You will not be disappointed!

A Trusted Partner

I was referred to Sabrina via another attorney. On very short notice, she met me on a Monday morning at court, listened to my side and walked me thru the process. We met again in her office to discuss my case. She explained all of my options and was with me every step of the way. Sabrina is a straigh...t shooter, to the point, intelligent and compassionate attorney. I am very grateful for her knowledge, experience and above all, her trusted partnership.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I had the good fortune of collaborating with Sabrina on a case recently and could not have been more impressed with her knowledge, skill and passion for the work that she does. In our field some attorneys are zealous advocates in the courtroom, while others work better behind the scenes with research and writing. Sabrina is a skilled litigator who excels equally at both, and she has become one of my go-to colleagues when I am looking for advice or ideas about some of my own cases."
