Disregard for client interests

Before you retain this attorney, consider my experience: excessive fees, disregard for client interests, and behavior that appeared motivated more by financial gain than genuine legal support. Just after hiring Andrew Bonderud, I immediately regretted it. His assistant contacted me about removing a ...Google review I’d posted about someone else — and then he billed me 15 minutes for the call. His assistant also forwarded me an old, irrelevant email and he charged 15 minutes for it. This pattern of billing for unnecessary work continued until I challenged the charges, at which point he issued some credits — acknowledging the overbilling. I’ve repeatedly felt that he lacked interest in representing me properly. When I politely requested a refund of the unused retainer to hire someone else, he refused. He even told me that if two or three members of his team work on the same issue or read the same email, I’ll be charged multiple times — a clause nowhere to be found in the agreement. When I provided complete details to complete a task, he failed to act. Days later, he claimed that I’d placed restrictions on him — but the only “restriction” was my refusal to pay for duplicate work. In essence, he implied that unless I let him overcharge, he wouldn’t do the work. Despite paying a substantial retainer, he ultimately withdrew from the case and refused to return any unused funds. He threatened to file a lawsuit against me should I make the matter public. Consider this a cautionary tale — look elsewhere for legal support that values integrity and professionalism.

Success.

Facing an uphill battle, Jacob McCrea's strategic prowess and compassionate approach were a Beacon of hope. Leading us to a successful resolution, his dedication and clear communication, made a complex process manageable. And ultimately, victorious.

Great representation

Andrew is courteous, smart, and courageous. He is money well spent when it comes to criminal defense. My first lawyer was cheap, and I got a cheap result! Spend the money on a good attorney! I can’t say enough about how great Mr Bonderud was for me.

Andrew is the "Real Deal"

I know where I would be without Andrew's services, and it would not be where I am now. But because of his knowledge, understanding, and skill, he argued my case to a beyond satisfactory level. Andrew shows compassion, is highly adept, and is very straightforward; he will not say one thing and do an...other. After hiring him for his representation, I realized that he is the genuine article and although I hope to never need his services again, I know exactly who I would turn to. Andrew is to be trusted to get you through whatever mountain you may be faced with, and he will help you. Thank you, sir.

Sample of Legal Cases

State (Florida) v. Argueta

After my client was charged with 3 counts of vehicular homicide, I successfully negotiated a plea agreement, whereby my client pled guilty to the reduced charge of driving without a license (a misdemeanor) and was sentenced to time-served.

USA v. Kiraly, et al.

My client faced significant exposure as the alleged ring-leader of a debit card skimming conspiracy. I negotiated a favorable plea agreement for my client, and he was sentenced to a prison term that was below his advisory sentencing guidelines range.

USA v. Miller, et al.

I obtained dismissal of the healthcare fraud conspiracy. My client is still charged with paying and receiving healthcare kickbacks, and the case is set for jury trial in 2023.

USA v. Perez, et al.

This multi-defendant case, which involves the charge of conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud, will proceed to a 6-week jury trial in 2023.
