Dealing with (defense counsel) has made us realize how lucky we are having you for our attorney.

I worked with Scott Bonzell while he handled my personal injury case, and I would definitely recommend him. He is honest and ethical, works very hard and stays on top of your case, and most importantly is a good communicator. I have heard so many complaints from other people about their attorneys not returning their phone calls and e-mails, but I never had this problem. Scott always got back to me right away and answered all of my questions, and I was dealing with him directly each time, not with an assistant. It was a difficult situation with unpleasant circumstances and emotions running high, but I always felt that Scott and I were working together as a team on my case and that he was as determined to win as I was. And we did!

"It had been months since the personal injury incident before I contacted Scott Bonzell. It was unfamiliar territory to me. His understanding, his professionalism and his patience in answering all of my questions were important factors in entering into an attorney-client relationship. I admired his calm demeanor, candor and integrity. He was able to secure a very positive outcome for me."

Scott helped me navigate through a car accident and its arduous aftermath, and I feel so grateful to have connected with him. Every other lawyer referred to me would evoke anxiety attacks and emotional rollercoasters within me, but not with Scott. He was able to keep me grounded and deal effectively with all the problems. And it helps that there’s no BS with Scott, he lends clarity to seemingly confusing or frustrating situations.  There is no doubt he’s a professional and very, very experienced and exceptionally knowledgeable in doing what he does. What makes him stand apart is: Scott cares, he sincerely cares about you.  When he’s on your side, he’s on your side, you come first.  He goes above and beyond.  He is also a very good listener, gives sound advice, he’s warm, patient, has prompt communication skills, is affable, and even has a sense of humor too!  I truly believe if there were more Scott Bonzells in this world, it would change the reputation of lawyers for the better.

Scott Bonzell was an incredibly effective and thoughtful attorney to work with when our family needed help. Throughout the entire process, Scott made us feel comfortable and confident that he had our best interests in mind. He was patient, thorough and had the experience to solve our problems efficiently. Scott made the process less stressful than we could have imagined, and he delivered results that were far better than what we had been told to expect from several other reputable lawyers. We’d highly recommend working with Scott if you’d like to receive both a professional and humane approach when navigating legal issues. Thanks to Scott, our family had a second chance at success and life is good.

"I would highly recommend Scott Bonzell. He was honest, easy to deal with and was always in my corner. He was very open and clear about every aspect of my case. Scott did not inflate my expectations, but dignified me with realistic perspectives. He also went the extra mile with other related issues that came up as a result of my accident."

I was referred to Scott by a friend of mine who is an attorney and had a case against Scott. He told me that Scott Bonzell thoroughly trounced him and his client in court, and that Scott was extremely smart. I contacted Scott and we proceeded to spend plenty of quality time together preparing a construction defect case against an owner-builder defendant. I have been in the commercial construction industry for the past 20 years dealing with all sorts of claims and attorneys, and I can tell you that my interaction with Scott was BY FAR the best attorney/client relationship I have ever experienced. Not only is Scott Bonzell an extremely competent attorney, he is also personable, friendly and funny too. The outcome was that we prevailed in our case, and I have also made a friend for life.

Scott Bonzell represented me in an automobile personal injury case where I suffered considerable soft tissue injury and trauma.  He was very direct and low key. He made no promises, but won an award far greater than any I could have hoped for and far far greater than the norm for such cases.


 - Louis S.

I turned to Scott when other law firms didn’t want to take my case. From the beginning when I met with him I knew Scott was the right attorney for me. He made it clear that I had a good case and in the end he was right and exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend Scott for his dedication to his clients and making sure he’s always available for them.

Scott Bonzell handled my personal injury premise liability case, and I highly recommend him. His expertise and professionalism was proven time and time again. He is a master at negotiations, honest and a true pleasure to work. There is a reason Scott has made the SUPER LAWYERS list time and time again, he is the BEST! Scott is trustworthy, experienced and knowledgeable. He will work hard, be honest with clear communication along the way. You will not be disappointed if you hire him!

"I worked with Mr. Bonzell on a very complicated and difficult legal problem. He was the third attorney we hired as the first two found the complexity of the issues too much to handle. Mr. Bonzell helped us resolve this case through a thorough understanding of the law and a willingness to fight for us, even when the legal system and a less than scrupulous opposing counsel muddied the waters (an issue that made our two previous attorneys throw in the towel). I hope to never need his services again, but I have complete faith in his ability to help us should we need legal help in the future."

I received the funds Scott. It is pretty darn wonderful! Thank you so much for your great work and perseverance with the case.

At age ninety, I had never had an experience with a lawyer before except during my divorce fifty years ago. I felt an immediate alliance with Scott Bonzell. Upon the recommendation of others and based my own judgement after our interview, I decided I could trust this man with my case. I found him to be a true professional in every sense. When asking questions on-line, I received an immediate response within the same day and always kept me up-to-date. He kept my worries at bay and I will always be grateful for his excellent work and, of course, the successful conclusion to my lawsuit.

Easter J.
Scott was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was respectful of my situation and my time. I always felt like I could trust him and he had my best interest at heart. He truly is a talented attorney and I always felt completely confident in his advice.

Mr. Bonzell showed real professionalism and genuine care for my personal injury case. He was very thorough in his work and communicated with me very well as the process went on, always answering my questions clearly. He is highly intelligent, and has a genuine sense of ethics. The case was settled successfully in my favor.
 
-Carole S.
I’m not sure words of appreciation would ever equal the deep gratitude that I feel for your stewardship and support.  Thank you, Scott.  Tears come to my eyes full of that feeling of grace that you were there for me.

Alice D.
"Working directly with Scott Bonzell was a pleasure. He did his job very professionally and it was as seamless as possible for me. Since I was going through difficult times and this process was new to me, he took the time to explain to me in person all the available options and the most probable outcomes. He continuously kept me informed throughout the entire process in a very friendly, personal and professional way. The final outcome was very positive and I am happy to recommend Scott Bonzell."
