"Bonde Johnson is a tenacious and experienced lawyer who I would not hesitate to recommend. He is also a genuine person and a pleasure to work with. Attorney Thomas McNamara New Haven, CT"
"Mr. Johnson has my highest recommendation. His unblemished integrity, warm demeanor, ethical professionalism, and his vast experience put him above his peers. It is rare indeed when a lawyer is not only excellent professionally but also has impeccable and coveted personal character. This is an attorney that both lawyers and men in general want to emulate."
"An extremely talented and well respected attorney in the legal community, I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer who knows the law and truly cares about protecting the rights of his clients and getting them the most favorable result possible."
"Bonde and I were on opposite sides of a case that went to trial in Connecticut. He was extremely professional and quite impressive. Endorsements by someone with whom you "did legal battle" are probably rare, but I am proud to endorse Bonde."
"Bonde Johnson is rated as an excellent trial lawyer in the official Martindale Hubbell lawyer's directory. Bonde has over 22 years total legal experience including winning many trials in Connecticut. He was also a criminal prosecutor for nearly a decade, trying hundreds more cases, and then worked for and fought against some of the most respected trial lawyers in Connecticut. Bonde fights hard for those that are injured in car accidents, personal injuries and workers' compensation cases. His clients come first and while some clients may simply have bad facts in their cases, every client Bonde obtained an award for has signed a written statement stating they are "completely satisfied" with his work and the work of his firm. Any prospective client or existing client is always welcome to call for numerous references. I highly recommend Bonde as a colleague and as an experienced lawyer myself."
