Bonnici Law Group, APC

I hired Bonnici Law Group as my personal injury lawyer after a traumatic car accident in October 2022.
In October 2024, I made it clear that I wanted to pursue litigation. I understood that filing a lawsuit increased their contingency fee from 33% to 40%, and I agreed. During in-person meetings, I repeatedly stated that I was willing to personally cover expert witness fees, which they initially estimated at approximately $50,000.
After filing, I paid thousands in litigation-related expenses and invested significant time and emotional energy preparing for trial.
Six months before trial (March 2025), I received a letter from Dan and Josh stating that I should accept the defendant’s policy limits. They offered to reduce their contingency fee from 40% to 33% if I accepted the settlement. However, they also stated that if I refused, they would withdraw from representing me. In the same communication, the estimated expert witness costs increased from $50,000 to approximately $100,000

Given the trial timeline, I contacted multiple personal injury attorneys seeking a second opinion, but none were willing to take over the case so close to court date.

Feeling that I had no viable alternative, I agreed to settle. During negotiations, additional funds beyond the policy limits were discussed. However, I later learned that accepting additional compensation would trigger their fee to increase back to 40%, which I had misunderstood under the new contract.

The additional compensation final settlement structure changed from a 15-year payment schedule starting immediately to a 17-year schedule beginning in mid-2026. Throughout the negotiation period, I repeatedly asked about counter-offers, but I was strongly encouraged to accept the deal as presented. When I asked what would happen if the defendant failed to make payments, I was told I could pursue enforcement myself or hire the firm again for additional fees.

Josh Bonnici is heaven sent, he has guided me and has been a significant help to my situation. I’ve known many attorneys, he is bar none and cannot be compared to your typical lawyer. Motivated by ethics and a sincere follow through. I prayed for someone like this, Josh and his firm come with the highest recommendation possible.

Joshua and his team are a pleasure to work with. They went out of their way to reverse Prudential’s denial decision on my Disability Claim. I know this would not have happened without their expertise and knowledge and history of working with Insurance Companies. I count my blessings that I just happened to stumble onto their TV commercial several years ago and wrote down their phone number “just in case” things went south with my Disability claim.

As most people will tell you insurance companies are hesitant to give out money, particularly the top end of the uninsured driver’s policy amount.

After my accident, I worked with Josh Bonnici & Dan Schwender of Bonnici Law Group. I gave them The information about the accident and let them do what they are best at. I was rear-ended by a driver whom it turned out did not have insurance.

The end result was that I got the full amount that I was able to thanks to these gentlemen.

People make jokes about attorneys all the time, if that’s what you were expecting this is not the firm for you. However, if you want to work with professional men and women with honor and integrity who are beyond reproach I can think of no reason why you would not feel completely at ease, putting your legal affairs in the hands of the Bonnici Law Group.
