RUN AWAY

Brunilda was referred to represent me in a divorce case. This attorney is incompetent. No advise to the client when needed. No communication with the client.. The only communication would be when she needed more money. I would not recommend this attorney at all. Horrible representation

This information is incorrect. I communicate with all my clients on a regular basis through letters, phone contacts, and/or emails. Furthermore, this client has never complained to me, much less tell me that she was dissatisfied with my representation or services rendered. If anything, I have gone above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to this particular client by, for example, giving her my personal cell phone (which I almost never do) and advising her on a particular issue for an entire hour one Sunday afternoon as I was taking my daughter to college. It always seems to amaze me that when clients, like this one, complain, it's usually when the case is almost over and they get my bill. Again, this client's comments are entirely not true and I have proof in all seven files.

Horrible lawyer-shouldnt be allowed to practice!! RUN AWAY!

This is the worst lawyer I have seen. I hired her for my divorce case a year ago. She is never in her office and never calls you back when you leave messages. Yet charges her hourly fee to leave messages with her secretary. Never follows through with what she promises and later tells me I didn't talk... to her about it. She is all talk. In fact she ordered the wrong subpoena for bank accounts and the wrong dates, didn't even look at them. I was denied CHILD SUPPORT and the judge wrote a half page explanation to her telling her that in 15 years of practice she still doesn't know the correct way of submitting exhibits to the court??? How humiliating! Not only that she sent the motion to the wrong county! She didn't even tell me, I found out from the other parties lawyer when he ridiculed her on the counter motion!! How embarassing,. Yet she had already charged me for it! 20 min. before the mediation she called me from her car to ask me what was in the bank statements. 3 days ago I had spoken to her and asked her to prepare herself. She left abruptly during the mediation and didn't even tell me, I had to call and ask her where she was only to find out that she left to go to court. Soo much more to write, but please for your sake, don't be like me, WASTED A YEAR AND $14,000 for a case to be dismissed in court because this lawyer didn't bother doing anything other than charge me for speaking to her secretary.

This is ALL false, but I understand everyone, including clients, have a right to their opinion and I will dismiss it as such.

child support case

I selected Mrs. Bonilla through the referral process offered by the Hudson County Bar Association. Of the names provided, I thank God for making the right decision. Mrs. Bonilla was straightforward, She provided me the professional care that I needed. She worked with me and her staff kept me informed... of the status of my case. It all turned out in my favor thanks to her expertise I highly recommend Mrs. Bonilla . thank you brunilda for your help

Meets your expectations.

I appeared in court the first time alone, thinking I had an edge on things with my ex and got obliterated by a hearing officer. Later, I was recommended to Ms. Bonilla by my tenant. She was very informative on my situation, and knew the aspect of the custody game. We rescheduled another hearing in Co...urt, and she kept my hopes up in route to my court date, and continuously kept me updated during the process, which I found very helpful. I can only say she knows her job, and does make things better. My expectations of the 2nd hearing were met. Lets say my ex wasn't happy with the results in round 2. I would highly recommend Ms. Bonilla for marital or custody issues. Thanks again for the help Ms. Bonilla, and God bless.
