The best attorney ever!!!

Hi, my name is Christy, I'm a corporate paralegal and so I have worked with great attorneys in my career as a paralegal. I know a great attorney when I have one and Hunt is the best! I was in a very bad automobile accident 4 years ago and I had to find an attorney to represent me. I hired two ...attorneys before I found Hunt. Neither of those attorneys worked on my case and both found my case too challenging and thought is was an impossible case because I had some prior injuries. So they dropped me as a client. ( Which turned out to be such a blessing to me). I felt desperate and discouraged because no attorney was willing to take my case on. It was too complex. That's where Hunt comes in. Hunt not only took my case but he was brilliant! He was able to remove those complications from the case and he found a way to focus only on my new injuries in an amazing way to bring forth a big win! Hunt was an extraordinary attorney! He protected me from the weaknesses in my case and used the strengths to bring me unheard of results! No attorney that I know of has ever won as much in such a case. Hunt only uses the best paralegals and Hunt will fight tirelessly for his clients. If you are lucky enough to get Hunt Bonnneau as your attorney; you are in the best possible hands that one could be in. I can not recommend Hunt enough! I can not disclose the amount that Hunt won on my behalf; but I will say that it was 5 times more than similar cases had previously recovered by other attorneys. My case was a personal injury case and I could not recommend Hunt more highly! My only regret is that I didn't find Hunt sooner. Hunt is a brilliant fighter and will stand with you, in front of you, and walk beside you as you walk through the difficulties involved in such a case. Though I was a paralegal, I had a head injury and Hunt helped me to do what I needed to do with practice and making a clear, easy path in an intense fearful moment. The deposition. I've never ever had anyone fight for me the way that Hunt did. I hope that when looking for an attorney in such difficult times; that you will take a look at Hunt Bonnaeu because I'd love everyone to be as blessed as I was the day that Hunt took my case. Justice was served. Sincerely, Christy

The Best

The Bonneau Law Firm took excellent care of a personal injury situation for me. They communicated consistently and went the extra mile to find the best resolution they could for our situation. I highly recommend them

Posted by Michael | August 27, 2013 | Personal Injury

Hunt took great care of my mom's case.

My mom was in a bad auto accident, which, in addition to eliminating her ability to ever drive again, also led to substantial medical and support expenses. Hunt was quick to lay out the normal process, and help set the appropriate expectations for the whole family. Deciding to litigate is no easy d...ecision, and we simply wanted the other insurance company to do the right thing. They didn't, so we engaged Hunt who quickly took over the details, and thru his expert staff, collected all the relevant reports, services, tests, expenses, etc. Throughout the ordeal, Hunt was always available, and met live with us many times to ensure my mom clearly understood the situation. Litigating is always stressful, but if you are going to do it, then go with someone you trust, who is 100% competent at what they do. I'm happy to recommend Hunt as this type of attorney. My mom received the maximum allowed payout, within 18 months of the accident. If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation with an accident or injury, and aren't really sure you want to engage an attorney, I'd recommend that you do what we did, and contact Hunt to get the straight scoop. He won't sugar coat the facts, or mislead you into false expectations. For us, he met and exceeded every one of his predictions. Outstanding service and results, from a person that I trust.
