Expert, Compassionate Family Law Attorney

Mr. Bonnell is amazing. He is a knowledgeable, compassionate and professional attorney,  and I would recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance. It may seem he is not working on your case, or communicating,  but he really is working for you.  He will communicate when needed (we all like ...to think attorneys work JUST for us, when they really do have many clients). He managed a very difficult, complex custody case for my wife and I, and really pulled out all the stops to make a win for us.

So thankful for Craig

Craig handled a case against my husband for custody of my 8 year old son. He wiped the floor with the other attorney. Craig was great. I hope to never have to use another attorney, but if I do, I will definitely use Craig Bonnell. He was great in court especially cross examining my husband. If yo...u need an attorney to go to court with you, he is the best.

A Lawyer that cares

I don't know where to start with this law office. I will say that first called Craig's office to consulted on a different case. Then I received papers on a custody case for my son. He handled everything with ease and his secretary Kathy was like a mother to me doing this time. I will say that he ...may not be there to be reached personal but Kathy handled everything that he couldn't get to. He charged me a fair price and keep to his word. I fell after four years of working with me on this case his office never failed me and my son needs. I will say he is a breast in court and he knows what he is doing. He and Mrs. Kathy treat everyone with respect.

Trustworthy, easy going.

Mr. Craig handled my divorce and in fact, I referred him to my former husband when he needed to divorce his rebound wife. I also used Mr. Craig to handle my Will. Everything was done in a timely fashion and professionally. He is understanding and considerate and made sure every provision was accoun...ted for.

Posted by Cheryl | January 25, 2013 | Uncontested Divorce

Caring, compassionate lawyer with the expertise to back it up.

I hired Craig Bonnell to handle my uncontested divorce and again for my will. He made the divorce process simple and explained everything to me in a caring, thoughtful way. He also handled my will with the same care, and when I had a doubt as to whom to let handle a certain arrangement, thought... it out with me, and we came to a happy conclusion. I was NEVER rushed and he did not intimidate me, as sometimes professionals do. I recommended him to my former husband so he can divorce the woman he married after our divorce and he is using Mr. Craigs' expertise as well.
