Poor services

As twin daughters both my sister and I enlisted in the Navy to do our share for the country, and we both are planning on doing 20 years and retire from service. This has been bothering for more than 1 year and I promised myself that after we got less busy with training and other military duties I wou...ld contribute my own personal thoughts that occurred with ***** ***. (self described as Lion-Law) My mother and both my sister and I were involved in a large accident that caused my mother to have leg surgery. During the 1.5 years or so **** Law had our case, we went through 4-5 different attorneys as they apparently leave as quickly as they come in. To make a long story short, we had to explain over the case and a new process started every time as a new attorney was appointed. As well as discuss depositions and explain all the evidence they had as the new attorney was unfamiliar with the case. We were so disappointed that I told them that I would be writing a bad review regarding my experience with their law firm. My father received a call/email from them saying that if we did not write the review, they will see what they can do about having us walk away with more money. There was even an amount of money that we would receive if we signed a document my parent still have, that states we will never write any bad reviews about the firm. We refused, I was not raised by my parents to sway away from my beliefs and to never lie about anything in order to receive compensation. My parents came from a communist country and this is one thing they said communism does to force you to think differently. Based on my experience it makes me wonder how many reviews Ive seen on the firm are true or even coerced into not writing or writing a good review based on getting more money on such settlements. This has been my experience with the firm and if I ever get into another accident god forbid I will NEVER call Thompson Law again. I do not recommend this firm

Wonderful Attorney and very caring

Mr. Bonney is a wonderful attorney who cares about his clients and goes out of his way to help them. He is very professional and I would rate him higher if I were able to.

Couldnt speak higher of him.

Samual bonney has got me out of many criminal cases. He is a expert in law and i couldnt speak higher of him. i would never use another lawyer in the dallas area. he has represented me probably on 4 differant occasions, walked on the cases or was put on a small probation. and only once i was a bit di...ssapointed with the outcome( but i was dead guilty on that case). he is expensive but worth every penny. Sam Bonney is the Man if your in legal trouble. only reason i gave a good for the informed is i didnt have his personal cell for a while but once i got it, it was like calling my best friend he always answered sometimes he would have to call back tho hes a busy man. ive was found not guilty on a DWI but i really wasnt guilty but its great that the jury agreed. he slammed the DA and i felt like i was in the best hands possible during that trial, he had his lawyer buddy David Burrows help on that case and that man is a genius on DWI cases.
