About Bonnie
Biography
Bonnie Lonardo is the owner and founder of LJ Law, a full-service Divorce and Family Law firm based in Las Vegas, Nevada. Bonnie began her career as an attorney practicing in well-established multi-practice law firms, but saw owning her own firm as an opportunity to connect with her clients on a more personal level; to truly understand the emotion involved in each and every case, and to be able to best represent the core interests of her clients. Since opening LJ Law, Bonnie has been able to do just that for thousands of families throughout the Las Vegas Metro Area. Divorce, child custody, child support, and alimony cases are oftentimes emotionally-charged and life-altering experiences for the parties involved. At LJ Law, Bonnie takes personal pride in lightening the burden for her clients; relieving their stress, worry and anxiety and offering the piece of mind that their case, rights, and family are well-protected.

Bonnie Lonardo's Lawyer Endorsements
"Bonnie is a great lawyer and represents her client well. Although we were opposing counsel on a case, she was very professional and courteous. She handles matters in a reasonable manner which is a win win situation for all who are involved."
"Bonnie is the real deal. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Bonnie in many mediations and found her to always be efficient, effective, and prepared. Since she formed her own firm I have referred a number of clients to her and have heard nothing but positive comments on her performance."
"I endorse Ms. Lonardo because I've had the pleasure of working with her for more than 4 years in the foreclosure/mediation/bankruptcy sphere, and she is a hard-working, efficient, intelligent advocate who takes no prisoners in her representation of her clients who have been wronged. Highly recommended!"
"Bonnie Lonardo is a dedicated lawyer who works hard to protect her client's interests."
"I endorse this lawyer. She is knowledgable and compassionate. Bonnie has worked both for the bank and the homeowner and knows the ins and outs of the banking industry."
"Bonnie was opposing counsel on several foreclosure mediations in which she represented the homeowner and I represented the bank. She is very knowledgeable in this area of law and a zealous advocate for her clients. She is a detail oriented practitioner and as a former bank attorney is very familiar with the weaknesses on the other side. Although she often had the upper hand in our cases, she was always very professional and a pleasure to work with."
