When it comes to protecting your future and the future of your family, a premarital agreement is often of paramount importance, especially if you have children from a prior marriage who may need to be protected from a second spouse if things go badly. And who would you want to be your legal guardian if you become partially or totally incapacitated during the marriage? Can you count on your spouse to properly manage your business, your investments and all other financial affairs?

Stellar Knowledge of his discipline

Typically attorneys are known for avarice (billable hours). Not so with David. He had the patience of a saint and the knowledge of a scholar and his information was critical for winning my case not once but three times. Children are an investment so invest wisely.

Honest, Knowledgeable, Caring

I hired Mr. Bonham to help me through a difficult time I was having with my ex-husband and the custody of my daughter. He was very honest with me about what I should expect and I could tell that he truly cared about me and my situation. He always made himself available when I had questions...even a...fter my case was resolved. I would not hesitate at all in recommending Mr. Bonham to anyone that is looking for an honest and professional attorney.

Great experience

I had a phone consultation with David this afternoon and I want to express my appreciation to him. From the first seconds I could feel he is professional and the same time connected person. He went through all the details, places, dates of my story, asked the right questions so I could see the situat...ion clear and perspective. I definitely recommend his services. Thank you again, David!

Superb listener, Comprehensive Lawyer

I spoke with David regarding an immigration matter that had to do with passport issuance and child custody. He was prompt, courteous, thorough, kind, and comprehensive. Would highly recommend working with David.

"David Bonham is highly professional, ethical, knowledgeable, and a zealous defender of his clients while also being respectful to opposing counsel and opposing parties. I currently have the privilege of being his opposing counsel in a very difficult family law case which is in the process of being amicably settled. This is possible only because of his ability to help de-escalate contention. He has a sincere concern for his clients, for opposing parties, and especially for children involved. I am impressed that he is concerned about and acts in the best interest of children and their families which is not always the case in family law. He is relatively new to our community, and we are very fortunate to have him. I hope to have future cases with him and I highly recommend him."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"David Bonham is the preeminent family law attorney in South Florida. He is a lawyer's lawyer. If I was ever in need of a family law attorney for divorce or child support collection, custody matter, a prenuptial agreement or anything else related to family law there is no doubt for a second whom I would select - - David Bonham, hands down. I had the pleasure to see him obtain results for my clients that were near impossible to achieve. I served as his expert witness in a divorce case related to real estate and watched his command of the court room. He simply out performed, over prepared, and out did his opposing lawyer and won the best result for his client that even she was not expecting. Anyone considering David Bonham for their divorce, child support, custody, prenuptial agreement or any other family law matter would do well to have him on their side."
