Al Bonin prepared a property settlement agreement for my impending divorce. I am exceedingly satisfied and indebted to him for his handling of this matter. Al worked out a settlement and drafted the final agreement within three weeks of my initial consultation with him. My divorce was Final within the original projected dollar amount and time estimated by Al during the initial consultation. Al Bonin is a professional, highly responsive, reputable, and ethical divorce lawyer.
I worked with Al during the past seven years through several complicated custody conflicts with my former spouse. I greatly appreciate Al's professionalism, integrity, savvy, and knowledge of the various mediators and custody evaluators in the area. He made an amazing difference in my life and the lives of my children, and I honestly can't thank him and his team enough for their efforts on our behalf. Al is also a thought-leader in an organization that brings together legal, mental-health and financial advising professionals to work to find innovative solutions for parents in my situation. I gladly give Al Bonin and ShounBach my highest recommendation.
My opinion. This guy was bad. Not a good mgr of his team. Lots of mistakes. Not a good negotiator. Garnered very little on my behalf although really turned the crank on billable hours. Was not impressed w legal skills.
