Colin E Bonus

I received three traffic violations - DUI, Reckless Driving, and Careless Driving. Attorney Colin Bonus represented me and achieved an outstanding resolution through his deep understanding of the traffic and procedural provisions of New Jersey law. Mr. Bonus engaged tactfully and professionally wit...h the prosecutor's office and was extremely knowledgeable with respect to the procedural aspects applicable to my case. Mr. Bonus quickly assessed and advised on the strengths of issues supporting my defense, and worked to achieve an expedient and satisfactory disposition with the municipality. Through Mr. Bonus's efforts, the DUI and Careless Driving charges were dismissed, leaving only the Reckless Driving charge, and most importantly a loss of driving privileges limited to thirty days. This extremely positive outcome would not have been possible without Mr. Bonus's thorough understanding of New Jersey law, his many years of experience, and his tactful approach with the local prosecutor's office. I couldn't have been more impressed with his handling of my case, and am extremely grateful and appreciative of the legal services Mr. Bonus and his firm provided. I highly recommend Mr. Bonus and his firm to anyone facing challenging issues in the New Jersey courts.

I received four tickets - DUI, refusal to give a breathalyzer test, reckless driving, and failure to maintain lane. Mr. Bonus successfully navigated the legal scene through politeness and firmness in the court room. Both the judge and the prosecutor noticed his kind demeanor, and I truly believe that... it helped with the end result. The advice, entirely covered under attorney-client privilege, that he gave me was top-notch. I started off with the four aforementioned tickets, and Mr. Bonus was able to successfully drop both the DUI and the refusal to submit a breathalyzer sample. I was then left with the reckless driving and failure to maintain lane tickets, and he successfully reduced the mandatory driving suspension to a mere two months. Without his assistance, I would not have had such a positive outcome. He knows exactly what he's doing. Both him and the other members at his law firm pour lots of effort into dealing with your case, and you certainly will notice it. I definitely recommend Mr. Bonus to others and genuinely thank him for his legal assistance - I could not have hoped for a better attorney.

I cannot say enough good things about Colin. Colin represented me in a case where I was charged with DUI and careless driving. I faced seven months of possible license suspension, thousands of dollars in fines, and the whole other parade of horribles that come with those charges. In the end, the ...prosecutor dismissed the DUI charge, I paid a $200 fine for the careless driving charge, and agreed to a short license suspension. Here are the three best things about Colin. First, he is an expert and handles these types of cases day in and day out. He knows the law. He knows what facts are important. He developed a great strategy and executed it perfectly. Second, he has a great reputation and experience in the courts. He knows the judges and prosecutors. He knows what arguments will work, how far to push various issues, and can tell you the most probable outcomes based on his years of experience. He is respected by the judges and prosecutors which adds strength and value to his arguments and discussions before trial. Indeed, one day in court, another lawyer came up to me and congratulated me on hiring the best lawyer possible. Third, Colin is a really good guy. He listens, he explains things, he calmed me down and gave really good advice. Among other things in my case, Colin continued to press for evidence, made numerous court appearances, and won a critical motion to suppress (throw out) the breathalyzer result in my case. He retained an expert to challenge the field sobriety tests and subpoenaed additional records to refute the evidence. He continued to conference with the prosecutors pointing out the weaknesses in their case. Colin did such a great job that I had a very good chance of being found not guilty of all charges if I went to trial, even though things seemed very bleak the day after my arrest. Colin deserves the highest recommendations.
