Divorce

My divorce was contentious, this law firm was in my corner, well prepared. My divorce was handled with total dedication and attention to detail. Things were hard with my soon to be x – but having a law firm that listened to my wants and needs made me feel safe and that my decisions were based in fa...ct. This lawyer never lost her temper and was well received at court.

DO NOT USE

DO NOT USE HER! She represented me allowing me to pay over time. SHE offered that! I will review the invoice as many people that have used her said she overcharged. Her paralegal is nasty. Bonnie led me on to believe she would help me file contempt. Then she ignored my emails, calls and texts for ...weeks. She got upset when HER paralegal got rude with me. All she had to do was advise me she would not be representing me further. She over charged and I will be filing a grievance.

Pathetic Excuse for a Child Advocate

Bonnie Amendola is a first class extortionist! Do some research before hiring her as she swings any way the wind blows. She's inept at providing any protection for children and is easily duped by lying parents. You would think she would be able to see through these people given how long she's been at... this. It's not about doing what's right for Bonnie, it's racking up fees to extort parents with. Bonnie couldn't be worse at her job and certainly shouldn't be deciding anything relating to custody disputes. Just ask around, most will give you the real story, those who don't are on the take.

Grossly Incompetent and Biased

This woman is your worst nightmare (when you’re already in one). We learned she would make snide remarks in response to my emails and send them to my ex-wife in writing!?!?!?! Worst, she never returns emails. This woman cannot be trusted when dealing with children. I’m filing a complaint. If yo...u’re interested contact me at [email protected] Grossly unprofessional, negligent and biased.

Relationship: Friend

"I have known Bonnie for roughly 25 years and know here to be one the brightest, most prepared and honest attorneys I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Bonnie's knowledge of the substantive law is unmatched, and her willingness to go to bat for her clients sets her apart from any attorney I know. Bonnie has the unique ability to get to the heart of any matter or legal issue with ease, and, more importantly, to explain it in straight talk. Her instincts are impeccable as is her honesty and forthrightness. Anybody who hires Bonnie will know that their resources are extremely well spent."

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
