This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

2010 reckless attorney

I don't think anyone failed here Dennis Bonner, the experience people have had with you. I experienced an aweful out come in 2009-2010 as well with you during my divorce with a man who stole my equity from my home when I had my home paid for, he talked me into taking $50,000.00 to buy other property ...and fix up and sell, I lost half of my equity plus all the property we had bought that he kept and sold and made money off my money. I had to pay it back when I never even used it. You are an incompetent attorney. You even commented, and questioned me if I was going to sue you when I came to pick up my file. That's when I knew you were guilty. It's not the first time you have messed peoples lives up and gave it to a criminal. Stay away from this incompetent heartless could careless only about $$$$$$$ Go to your Misouri Bar Association and turn him in like we did. You know the ole saying 1 strike 2 strike 3 strikes your out, well he is way over his strikes.

Failed in every way!

I hired him and so did my cousin for the same type of case. Parental Alienation- Custody problems. The same result in both cases. Dennis didnt know what he was doing. Didnt prepare for anything. Couldnt speak in court as a knowledgeable attorney. He left me to represent myself so that he could go de...fend a Jeffco judge in a divorce case. I fired him and hired an amazing attorney who wrapped up everything in my case beautifully. Then Dennis sued me for 12k when he clearly didnt do the work. When i fired him i owed him 2 maybe 3 grand. Not 12. Well, Dennis just seized and garnished my bank account for 12k, didnt notify me of any hearings. He is COMPLETLY underhanded and should not be practicing law. PERIOD.

We're sorry you had a bad experience with our firm. This matter does not sound familiar, and we strive for the utmost client satisfaction in every case and have NEVER sued or garnished for wages. Please contact me directly to discuss your specific concerns. This seems to be a misunderstanding- or possibly a different attorney that you meant to review.

Case -May 2013

hired Dennis Bonner' law firm in June 2012 to represent me in a simple child support/visitation case. I deployed to Afghanistan in January 2013 and in March 2013, Dennis Bonner informed me of his motion to withdraw from the case. The motion to withdraw took me by total surprise especially since I h...ad provided Mr. Bonner with all items and documents that he had requested before I deployed. After talking with Dennis Bonner, he decided to continue to represent me in my case while I was deployed to Afghanistan. I put my full trust in Mr. Dennis Bonner; however, in my absence, I found out that Mr. Bonner had missed court appearances. In addition, Mr. Bonner rarely emailed or called me and totally failed to inform me of the status of my case. I was not made aware of any case hearings and I found out about case ruling month's after they had been ruled on and to add insult to injury, I found out case rulings thru the opposing party. Again, I was informed by the opposing party -month's later -of the outcome of my case, not by my hired attorney Mr. Bonner's inadvertence and excusable neglect were clearly recognizable and on display in my case. I put my full and complete trust in Mr. Dennis Bonner and he misrepresented and essentially neglected my case. I would not recommend Mr. Bonner as an attorney to any client.
