This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A lawyer's lawyer.

Bonnie was recommended by a real estate lawyer as she had handled his sister's divorce in an exemplary manner. I liked her from the moment I met her as she was both professional and extremely knowledgeable. Over the course of a long, bitter divorce that unfortunately went to trial, she proved to be ...a true problem solver under extremely hostile conditions and, given the amount of time we spent together, became more than my lawyer. She became my friend. She was the voice of reason and her advice was always spot on. I was continually amazed at how well known she was throughout the Court and was always proud when the innumerable people who came to say hello always managed to say, "you have the best lawyer." Quite simply, she was.

Efficient, Effective and Personable

Going through a divorce can be traumatic, confusing and costly. Bonnie was extremely helpful in all areas of the process. Her knowledge of the law and sound advice avoided needless litigation costs and her tenacity and negotiation skills resulted in favorable outcomes. She was a patient listener a...nd advised me throughout the process, securing beneficial agreements for custody of my children and the fair allocation of marital assets and payments. Her ethical approach and vast experience also helped to minimize the stress levels of the process. I highly recommend Bonnie and would hire her again if needed.

A great choice for a lawyer

Choosing Bonnie got me the best settlement possible. She knew exactly how to get the most out of a nasty situation. Her experience helped me achieve my goal and move past my divorce. You want her in your corner. You will win!

Untrustworthy and unethical

I specifically retained Bonnie Frost after a lengthy consultation during which she basically promised me the moon in my divorce; however, once I had paid a very hefty retainer fee, I was handed off to an associate who became less and less acceptable throughout our litigation process. Ms. Frost would ...occasionally come to my defense when I had issues with this other attorney, of which there were many, but she never once actually became actively involved in any other capacity. At the very end, which was nearly two years and $100,000 later, I also had an issue with her and her associate sharing confidential information, specifically a private agreement between Ms. Frost and myself, along with my detailed bill, with another individual without my consent or knowledge; clearly a breach of confidentiality and privacy. I was basically treated throughout as less than deserving of her attention, I can only assume to higher paying clients. It was very disappointing, expensive, and alarming in many respects, to say the least. I realize that divorce and the process you go through is a learning experience for many women, but I sincerely hope not all have to go through the lengthy waste of expense and time that I had to endure at the hands of this attorney and her firm. The settlement I was ultimately forced to "settle" with isn't worth the paper it's written on.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I worked for Bonnie for a few years. She is one of the finest attorneys I have ever met. She is a phenomenal writer and she never stops learning. She keeps up with all of the changes and nuances of family law. Whenever a member of the firm had a question about how case law might apply to a certain issue, they often called Bonnie into their office. She serves as an excellent role model to younger lawyers."
