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.
