Bonnie Lee Robertson

Bonnie Robertson and her staff are amazing! I used her council for a pretty complicated custody case. She was patient, passionate, and calculated. I feel like we worked together as a team seamlessly. Her foresight and understanding of the law, opposing council, and judge led to an agreeable outcom...e. She may seem laid back at first but trust she has claws when the time comes. Thank you, Bonnie Robertson & staff.

Bonnie was highly recommended and it would be remiss of me to not reinforce the recommendation to anyone in need of an experienced, hard working attorney that will not back down. Of the four attorneys participating in the court hearing, she was far and away the best in the room. Opposing counsel ev...en complimented her conduct afterwards.

I hired Bonnie in 2010 to help with a divorce/custody issue and parental alienation. She did not list each of the complaints in the motion she submitted to the court, and when she tried asking questions related to those complaints, the opposing attorney objected and the judge sustained. She asked que...stions entirely unrelated to the subject matter of the case, embarrassed herself, embarrassed me and then told me "Oh well, I'll get him next time." She will say I was a "difficult client" because I took the time to draft the motion listing each of the complaints individually (as you're supposed to do) and asked her a ton of questions. But she knew better, wrote her own motion, then got reminded by the judge in the court that each complaint must be addressed in the motion to be heard before the court. I love my kids more than anything and was very concerned about what was happening to them. She was listed as a father's rights advocate, so I chose her. I wish I hadn't. Your mileage may vary...

Bonnie was not the first attorney I worked with regarding family law issues. She was actually the fourth attorney I hired to assist me and my family with resolving some rather serious custody matters. The three lawyers before Bonnie, all with varying degrees of experience and price ranges, had done ...what they could, but all seemed fine with the old "mom is best and dad gets the rest" mentality. I feel like this exposure to multiple lawyers has given me a greater insight into what makes a good attorney from a parent's perspective. During the consultation, Bonnie explained the process we would take, the applicable laws specific to my case, and where my expectations should be prior to my paying any fees. Most importantly, Bonnie reminded me there was no guarantee things would go the way I hoped regardless of how solid I thought my case might look. I knew immediately that I was going to hire her. Once hired, Bonnie was always in touch with me via email, text, or phone call. She even took a call from me during her family vacation because a time sensitive issue arose. Bonnie included me in the strategic planning of the case and thoroughly explained possible outcomes. She always had contingency plans in the event something did not play out the way we hoped. Bonnie's experience showed as she always seemed to anticipate the reactions to any motion we filed. She was quick with her recommendations but left the final decision to me, all the while answering every question I had no matter how trivial. Bonnie took every bit of time to explain options available to me and my family which would keep us from having to go to trial, however; we ended up in court because the opposing party would not agree to any offer we made. When we finally went to trial, Bonnie's preparation was impressive. She was able to recall things I had forgotten which furthered our argument and strengthened our case. She also prepared me for what to expect during the trial and demonstrated amazing professionalism throughout. I do not believe Bonnie stands more than an inch over five feet tall, but she was an incredibly intimidating figure during the trial. No question, answer, or comment was wasted in the process. A spectator could not have been more impressed by the display of skill and professional competency Bonnie displayed during the trial if they had been watching a scripted play or television show. We did not have a decision at the conclusion of the trial but I was completely satisfied with the job Bonnie had done representing me and my family. When the judge finally made a ruling, I did not get an email with some lengthy and confusing court documents attached. Instead, Bonnie called me right away to tell me the judge had ruled in our favor and took the time to explain everything to me so I would understand. I did not mention price for a reason. It does not matter. If you want an attorney who is professional, competent, and skilled to represent you and your best interest, find a way to hire Bonnie Robertson. She is absolutely amazing!
