Michelle Morgan
Competent handling of a maritime injury claim
I hired Mr. Bonner after a significant injury on a commercial vessel in Mobile Bay. His background in admiralty law was immediately apparent, and his recognition in personal injury litigation gave me confidence. He clearly understood the complexities of maritime law and navigated the jurisdictional issues effectively. The case settled for a fair amount, which was the primary goal. However, the experience was not without its frustrations. Communication was sometimes a challenge; there were periods of several weeks where I received no updates unless I initiated contact. While his legal strategy was sound, managing expectations around timelines and the procedural steps could have been better. For straightforward legal matters where his deep knowledge in areas like commercial or maritime litigation is critical, he is a solid choice. Just be prepared to be proactive in staying informed throughout the process.
