MICHAEL J. BONONI: The Bononi Law Group has two partners here that have a half a century of jury trial experience between them. Between Bill Waldo and myself, we've been representing both companies and individuals in courtrooms, litigating cases in front of juries for over half a century. As a lawyer, one of the things we do is we counsel our clients. We tell them whether they should settle cases, whether they should file lawsuits, whether they should try their cases. And if a client doesn't have confidence and can't communicate with their lawyer, then that relationship is doomed from the beginning. We make sure that all of our clients get the type of communication and interaction they need with us. A lot of times, a phone call to a lawyer early can solve a lot of problems. And we pride ourselves on making time to give everybody 15 minutes. And we found that a lot of times, giving people advice upfront, explaining to them what their rights are solves issues and can even prevent litigation.

DEE ANN FUJIOKA: When I began looking for an attorney, what was of most importance to me was finding an attorney who could really capture the complexities of my case, feel good about the fact that he was on the right side of it, and be able to present it in a compelling way. Bill's personality and character as a professional is intense. He pays attention to every single detail and yet manages not to get lost in it. I think that's an extraordinary attribute and one that I would've been lost without. The attorneys at Bononi Law Group helped me with a whistleblower and disability discrimination lawsuit. It was a very complicated matter. And it would've been easy for them to get bogged down in the details. And yet the details are absolutely essential to the effective prosecution of the case. And truly, their intelligence and their care was indispensable. In lesser hands, we absolutely would've failed. There's no question in my mind. They're pretty amazing.

FRED RHEINSTEIN: When I first met Michael Bononi, he was an associate at a big law firm. And he worked on a case that I had with a big law firm. And he listened. He paid attention. And he gave sound advice. And he gave it diplomatically. When he went on his own, I went with him. And I'm glad I did because over the years, Bononi has continued to listen. And that's very important because he listens and hears what the person is saying and what they're not saying. Bononi is good with underdogs. The two biggest cases we worked on, we were the underdogs. We were against two--contract disputes with two large broadcast firms. In both cases, they were violating our rights. In both cases, we got good settlements. There are lots of measures of success in a lawyer. But when you will recommend your family, when you'll recommend your children to come to Bononi, or when you recommend your friends to come to Bononi, that probably is an awfully good smell test. And Bononi passes the smell test.

WILLIAM S. WALDO: I became and employment lawyer because no two clients are the same. No two problems are the same. No two solutions are the same. What I enjoy the most about employment law is making a difference. If you represent employees, you make a difference in their lives. If you represent employers, you make a difference in the lives of every employee in the workplace of that employer. The most important characteristic I have as a trial lawyer is my preparedness, my preparation. When I walk into the courtroom, I'm more prepared than the judge, twice as prepared as my opponent, and five times more prepared than the witness who thinks he's smarter than I am. The personal goal in each case is the same.

And that is, at the end of the case, I want every client to believe in their heart of hearts that everything that could've been done to solve their problem was done. I sum it up in four words. I want every client at the end of the day to say, "Damn, he was good."
