I am Charles Bonfante and I vow to be your champion for justice in the fight of your life. When going up against the major insurance companies, you need a seasoned veteran; a battle-tested warrior who will stop-at-nothing.
LOOK NO FURTHER - I AM THAT LAWYER
In New York, the laws governing personal injury cases are extremely complex, and do not favor the victim. There are many hidden pitfalls and traps that can ruin your case and keep you from getting the money you deserve.
If your lawyer is inexperienced or unprepared, you simply do not stand a chance. That is why it is crucial that you be represented by an aggressive, seasoned pro, who is well versed in personal injury litigation.
PERSONAL INJURY LAW IS ALL WE DO
My practice is focused solely on helping people that have been injured due to the negligence of others.
When dealing with the aftermath of your accident (pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, mounting medical bills and time lost from work) you are in no condition to fight. That is exactly what the insurance companies are betting on. They are bullies who if allowed, will take advantage of you at your weakest and most vulnerable.
You deserve a fierce advocate who won’t stop fighting until we win.
I AM YOUR ADVOCATE
I have dedicated my entire professional life to fighting for the rights of the underdog.
I pride myself on being tough as nails, both as a negotiator and in the courtroom. I will step up on your behalf and tell the insurance companies in no uncertain terms that we will not be intimidated and will never back down.
I will go the distance and do whatever it takes to obtain 100% justice for you.

Top notch attorney
Charles Bonfante has been my attorney in this matter from the beginning and has done nothing but work to help me reach a fair conclusion. Mr. Bonfante always answered/returned my calls and never left me "grabbing at straws". I knew my position and my best inerests were always taken. Mr. Bonfante is ...
"I endorse this lawyer. I know of Charles's work by reputation in the Personal Injury Bar. Moreover, I recently had the pleasure of viewing his Lawline CLE on Depositions. I was so impressed with the content and presentation that I took the time to email him and thank him for the great job that he had done. I am practicing almost 30 years and taken many CLE courses, this was the only time I took the time to reach out to a presenter. I am certain that he cares that much about his clients as well, and for that they are well served."
"Charles Bonfante has been a great resource to me. As a new lawyer, he always took the time to answer questions I've had about practicing law as a personal injury attorney. He has an impeccable reputation for being an excellent attorney and he is a fantastic presenter. I attended his CLE "The Deposition Whisperer" and it provided me with valuable insight on conducting and defending depositions. I recommend his CLE to everyone who litigates cases, especially if you are in the first 5 years of practicing law."
"During a seminar in which Charles presented on personal injury litigation strategy, he provided invaluable information to his colleagues on the art of conducting depositions, and the importance of pre-trial discovery. It became immediately apparent that Charles is intelligent, prepared, and personable. He was also available to me after his presentation to answer additional questions. Charles Bonfante is a true professional and I strongly endorse him."
"I attended a lecture in which Charles gave a presentation on deposition strategy and tips. The lecture and presentation was incredibly informative and provided a range of information that reflected the broad experience Charles has in litigation matters. What truly makes Charles unique was that after the presentation he made himself available to me by phone and e-mail to offer additional advice and resources. I strongly endorse Mr. Charles Bonfante!"
"Charles Bonfante is a colleague of mine who has expertise in the negligence/personal injury field. As I do not handle many of those cases, I refer Chuck the difficult ones. Most recently, I referred to Chuck a "slip & fall" case. These are very difficult cases to win. Chuck did a wonderful job. He took it to the brink of trial and finally after reviewing the case, the insurance company for the defendant felt compelled to settle this case for well into a six figure amount. Chuck is a great attorney and I will continue to refer cases to him in the future."
"I have been a friend and colleague of Charles' for nearly twenty years. He is a zealous advocate for his clients and a consummate professional. If I needed a personal injury attorney, I would hire him."
"I have known Charles as a voracious advocate for his clients and a skilled attorney on trial. I have personally sent several clients to him for representation in personal injury matters where I myself could not take their case due to a conflict of interest. I whole heartedly endorse Charles Bonfante."
"Chuck is a class act. Not only is he a great guy, but's he's also an excellent lawyer. I have known Chuck for over 35 years, and have always found him to be dependable, honest and trustworthy. Factor in his great sense of humor, and you have the entire package. I highly recommend him."
"I know Chuck as both a colleague in the legal profession and a friend. He is an extremely knowable attorney who fights relentlessly for his clients. Bottom Line - He gets is done and I highly recommend him."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have gotten to know Charles as both a person and a colleague and feel comfortable and confident in referring my clients to Charles. He is knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. He's an excellent advocate for his clients and he gets the job done. I highly recommend him."
"Charles Bonfante is a dedicated and spirited attorney who fights for his clients both in and out of the courtroom. Trustworthy and affable, Charles has all of the qualities which make for a well rounded and talented trial attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have referred clients and others to Mr. Bonfante in connection with personal injury matters. I have found that the exceptional skill and experience with which he successfully pursues these cases is exceeded only by the single-minded doggedness and perseverance he devotes to each client. Unlike other firms that are "mills" and treat cases like just another file, Mr. Bonfante shows passion for each client and personal attention that not only makes the clients feel that they are being truly cared for, but which translate into verdicts and settlements that reflect his unique skills and personal attributes."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Bonfante is not only a pleasure to work with as a fellow attorney, his clients speak highly of him as well. Mr. Bonfante is attentive to all issues with any clients he has handled of mine and clients he has referred to my practice. He puts the client's best interests first and he represents those who not only need an attorney, but need a friend; managing to ease the concerns of injured individuals. Being the lone attorney in his practice, he is the only attorney clients deal with, and he becomes known as a friend rather than just an attorney. His personality, intelligence, professionalism, and experience make him a leading practitioner in the field of personal injury in New York. I will continue to refer injured individuals to Mr. Bonfante, as he treats his clients and fellow attorneys with the utmost respect and courtesy, and his service is unparalleled."
"Charles Bonfante is a colleague whose opinion I value. He is smart, hardworking and a credit to our profession. I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for competent, effective representation in all aspects of personal injury litigation."
"Let me tell you why I wholeheartedly endorse Charles Bonfante. When a recent client called and asked me if I knew a good Personal Injury Attorney I told her to call Charles. Why did I do that? Well first because I know Chuck to be a skilled attorney who is responsive to his clients needs and will fight tooth and nail for them to get a fair recovery. Second, because if a client asks me to refer them to someone, I want to send them to an attorney that will treat them with the utmost respect, patience and professionalism. So I wasn't surprised when that client called a few days later with wonderful words to say about Chuck and thanking me for recommending him. Thanks Chuck for making me look good."
"I endorse this lawyer wholeheartedly. Mr. Bonfante is the consummate professional. Not only does he evidence his knowledge of the law, from the very first communication through trial, if necessary, but he is the type of attorney willing to be a "friend" to his clients as much as their lawyer. I have referred numerous clients to Mr. Bonfante who have, in turn, contacted me to thank me for pointing them in his direction. As a person, as a friend and as a lawyer, Mr. Bonfante is beyond reproach and is highly thought of by his peers in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Charles on several legal matters. Charles is professional, compassionate and an experienced trial attorney. He is well respected and held in high regard in the legal community and among his peers and adversaries."
"Charles is an excellent personal injury attorney. His extensive experience and knowledge allow him to achieve maximum results for his clients."
