Ms Bonnie really listens! You know she understands because she'll summarize your situation back to you... then advise you on the path to take. I'm very impressed with how she handled the consult.. and took her advise. This is not your typical lawyer here.

Excellent, Efficient, Knowledgable, Dedicated!
Working with Mrs. Canty has been an excellent experience in otherwise chaotic and stressful time. She was able to assist me with my divorce even though I am staying with family out of state and has made the process very simple as well as made sure my affairs were in order and protected. I appreciate all her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing her services!

Excellent, trustworthy family and business lawyer.
Bonnie is excellent in the court room. I had her handle a case for me 8 years ago. I saw first hand how smart and talented she is. Especially in the court room. She doesn't come across at first as the skilled and talented lawyer that she is. She also worked with a studious and tenacious paralegal name Maura. Bonnie is really good in the courtroom. When I had a business dispute/problem with one of the businesses that I manage I could only thing of one person that I would entrust with defending me. That person is Bonnie. I highly recommend Bonnie to help you with your family law matters and even with some corporate law problems.

Bonnie Canty is a great attorney
Very thorough and very professional attorney. She got me money back from creditors that garnished my wages illegally. She was there for me every step of the way from start to finish. She treats you like family. I highly recommend her to represent you when you need legal help

Peace of mind
I contacted Bonnie Canty regarding guidelines pertaining to my child support. She answered and explained other questions I had as the queries continued. I hired her immediately! She took over my problems and had them resolved in less than 3 months (court dates).

Garnishment Case
Bonnie was extremely helpful in resolution of my garnishment case. My wages were being garnished over $1000 a month. Bonnie attempted a few avenues before landing in a payment arrangement of $230 per month and a release order on the garnishment. She is very professional and dedicated to her clients. Thank you Bonnie!

Divorce
I reached out to Bonnie from out of state to handle my divorce case in Florida. I consulted with Bonnie several times prior to my case being filed. From our first meeting I have felt very comfortable and heard. They listened openly and responded realistically. Bonnie has always been very responsive to my phone calls and emails. Bonnie is very personable and professional. Her assistant Maura has been extremely helpful to me as well. Bonnie and Maura have both made me feel as though my case was just as important to them as it was to me. Wonderful to work with as well as other members of her firm. I highly recommend Bonnie Canty. Exceptional service- She is great!

Loan Rehab
When I decided to pursue trying to remove my wage garnishment for defaulting on overdue school loans, I sent inquiries to several online entities that proclaimed they could help me. The Law Offices of Canty and Associates remain the ONLY contact that reached out to me. I will always be grateful to you for your professional response, approach, and honesty. I must applaud the individual efforts of Rene Mears. She is professional, courteous, patient, and knowledgeable. Thanks to her due diligence, I am successfully in the early stages of Loan Rehabilitation. She has taken the extra time to ensure I understand the rehab program and what I must do to maintain a new start and clean slate.

Debt collection Attorney | May 04
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"I am pleased to endorse Bonnie Canty. I have crossed paths with her here on Avvo answering questions and have typically agreed with her responses. What impresses me most is not only are her answers are not cookie-cutter but responsive to the questions, and even more importantly, she does so in a way that a non-lawyer can understand what she is expressing. There are plenty of attorneys who know the law very well but can not communicate effectively with their clients. Bonnie's responses show that she has the ability to connect with her clients--very essential to a good attorney-client relationship."
