Fabulous personal injury attorney who convinced two insurance companies to settle for policy limits

I was involved in a very serous automobile accident. Bonnie did an amazing job with my case. She immediately sent her staff to photograph the cars, which were both totaled. Following consderable medical treatment, she was able to convince two different insurance companies (the other driver's polic...y and my own policy under the uninsured provision of the policy) to settle for the policy limits based solely on extremely detailed letters with multiple attachments. I have recommended her to all of my friends. She is also very personable and a pleasure to work with.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
