Phenomenal Attorney

Bonnie is a sharp, highly experienced family law attorney who understands complex income, business, and support issues. She’s direct, realistic, and strategic. No games, no false promises. She knows how judges think and uses that to protect her clients’ interests. She's a no BS attorney that understa...nds how judges react based on her experience. If you need smart, steady representation in a contested divorce, she’s an excellent choice.

Ball of Fire

From the first day that I began working with Bonnie, she reassured that everything was okay. As time progressed I had so many questions that Bonnie answered with confidence which eased my mind. She got me a favorable decision in my divorce. She has so much energy and has a very aggressive approach. ...She is very knowledgable with Divorce law. I have recommended her to my coworkers and friends. They are also very satisfied with their outcomes. If you are looking for a Family Law Attorney, I recommened Bonnie Mantel. You won't be disappointed.

Excellent Representation!

Bonnie made my divorce as seamless as possible. My ex-husband and I were in agreement regarding custody and visitation issues with our two children and we were able to get through the process with little discord. We also agreed on spousal support. Bonnie explained everything to me and was always a...vailable to answer my questions. She was fair and always made sure my kids' interests were protected. I felt like I was completely taken care of. Bonnie took the legal mumbo-jumbo out of it and was very clear, direct and concise. Thank you, Bonnie!

Right and Reasonable

What drew me to Bonnie Mantel was that she was referred to me as a "Bulldog" lawyer and that is what I needed. She immediately put herself between my spouse and I so that me stress level could go down. She didn't let the other attorney control the process and she stood up for MY rights. She anticipat...ed and prepared me every step of the way so I felt relaxed even though it was a touch thing to go through. Bonnie turned out to be an excellent attorney and did a great job. I would also like to say , that she came up with suggestions for me to save money in fees by doing some of the work myself. That was very appreciated. Also , her fees are more reasonable. Bonnie really cares about people and she will do right by you. I highly recommend , Bonnie Mantel

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
