Amazing Attorney

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!

She will take your money

She did not do what she said she would do. She knew she could not represent us but took our money anyway. We provided her with all the information regarding our case at the consultation but she did not thoroughly review it. We paid her almost full price only to find out after months of not getting an...y information from her and barely answering emails that she would not be able to represent us. she took half of our money and left us with a child support court date that we did not ask her for.

Because this review was posted by "anonymous," it's difficult to respond in any useful manner. I would say, however, that I pride myself on good, frequent communication with clients. Therefore, the statement that "months" passed without information and "barely" answering emails does not ring true with me. At any rate, I regret this client felt that my termination of representation and resulting refund were unsatisfactory. However, I am always careful to prevent prejudice to my clients if I can no longer represent them, and it's a very rare occasion that I terminate representation early. Therefore, I am confident I did my best for this client, under the circumstances.

Absolutely the BEST Attorney Firm in Arkansas no question

I hired Bonnie after she was a Rockstar in defending my sister in family Court. At the beginning my ex gave the run around every chance he got. Bonnie was very patient and at every turn was ready to fight hard for the best interest of our 3 children for the custody case. She was ever ready to give he...r recommendations, listen to what I wanted and would then consult on what the best course of action would be. From filing to final hearing it went just over a year. She was always easy to reach, she's extremely knowledgeable. She led us down a very good path where my ex husbands and I came to an agreement together that we are both very happy with, our children are happy with and something I never thought could happen did...it ended on such good terms my ex husbands and I are now friends. I have recommended her to countless friends and will continue to. I have used other lawyers prior to Bonnie but needed a lawyer that was willing to be very upfront, knowledgeable and rigorous to fight for me. She far exceeded my expectations and that wasn't easy based on the recommendations I got for her prior to hire. The firm is a pleasure to work with and the staff is wonderful.
