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.

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.

"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!"

"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."
