John Bonin - best attorney around

Last year my son found himself in an unexpected real estate litigation with his neighbor. It was a very complex case affecting all our family. My son was fortunate to be represented by Mr John Bonin who conducted the case with great professionalism and integrity. He reached the most positive outcome ...for my son. We all can move on with our lives now. Mr Bonin pays great attention to details and always listens to his client. His staff is also exceptional providing great communication and professional support. I'd highly recommend John Bonin to anyone who is looking for a great attorney.

Critique as Former Co-Worker

I worked for Mr. Bonin for approximately 2.5 to 3 years in Wenatchee, while he was an associate with Foreman & Arch, PLLC. 1999 - 2001. His energy toward his work made me want to work harder. His knowledge of the law and continuous training helped me thrive in my job. We worked together as a team..., even though we were the "associate and his secretary." Mr. Bonin would not only inform me of his needs regarding the case, but included the client history and reasoning behind his needs to allow me to think ahead and help trouble-shoot the needs of our clients. He never belittled me, but instead explained if I made a mistake. Together, we conquered civil cases, family law, real estate, and estate planning. Mr. Bonin was a very intellectual and intelligent counsel. It has been over 10 years since I have worked for Mr. Bonin, but we continue to keep in touch. I wish I could remember more of our work history, but I was quite green, (Very new to the legal field) and everything I do today in my legal career is because of what I learned from Mr. Bonin years ago. He was patient and shaped me into the secretary that I have become.

Employment and labor lawyer | Jan 14

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Mr. Bonin for decades and would describe him as an honest, genuine, caring person who strives to help people, both in his personal life and professionally. He is extremely knowledgeable in his area law and is not afraid to send clients to another attorney if they would be better served. He is a great choice, and worthy of receiving your call to discuss your legal issues."

Civil rights lawyer | Jun 06

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I strongly endorse this lawyer. Defining him as a civil rights lawyer is short-sighted. He is accomplished in many areas of civil practice, including landlord-tenant and personal injury. A self-confident and extremely caring attorney who will fight every inch for you. i have personally hired this attorney, and will anytime I need one. He will take on cases of excessive use of force when police and jails go too far. His wife Julie is an attorney in the firm, and is one of the brightest lawyers i have met. the personal attention i have recieved from them would take pages to endorse. They treat every client with the same compassion."
