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.

The finest, most capable and highly ethical attorney I have ever known.

John Bonin is the most highly skilled, capable and ethical attorney I have ever known. He recently represented me and my private investigations agency in a complex and extremely challenging business matter. I firmly believe that absent Mr. Bonin's superior representation and sage legal counsel, I w...ould not have enjoyed the VERY favorable outcome I achieved. I have also worked with John on civil rights cases, and he is superior in this arena as well. My wife and I recently entrusted and empowered Mr. Bonin and his law firm to handle ALL of our legal affairs. I trust him implicitly.

Great lawyer

My husband and I have been clients of John Bonin for about 7 years. He's handled several varied issues for us that required in depth research and trial skills. His attention to the details of a case made a huge difference which resulted in positive outcomes on every issue he's handled for us. Alon...g with his partner, Julie Cook, they are a formidable force and fought hard on our behalf, winning a case set before the state supreme court. We recommend John Bonin & Julie Cook without reserve.

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."
