Criminal Law

• Wrongful Death
  After the loss of a loved one, the last thing the family wants to think about is taking legal action. But in many cases, prompt action is required to investigate the circumstances and to preserve evidence. Waiting to retain legal counsel can be damaging to any future claims. Money damages can be paid for such items as loss of earnings, support, love and affection, medical expenses, and pain and suffering prior to the time of death among others.

Property Law

• Premises Liability
  This category of claims includes such matters as inadequate security, but by far the most common claim is the "Slip and Fall" type of injury. The law in this field is very much on the side of the property owner. The burden is on the injured person to prove that the property owner either caused the dangerous condition or knew about it before the fall and took no action to warn the injured person. This can be a difficult burden to meet. An immediate investigation is usually important, and it is extremely helpful to get the names of any witnesses. Photographs of the site of the fall are often key to a successful claim. Our firm has handled hundreds of premises liability cases over the years, of just about every type you could imagine.
• Real Estate Transactions
  Michael has represented thousands of injured clients since 1999 with an approach that every case is equally important and no client is more important than the other. In addition to his personal injury practice, Michael has extensive experience in real estate and succession law, including closing over 3500 real estate transactions.
• Property Damage
  Collisions between a large truck and an automobile many times involve significant property damage and serious injuries or even death. Sometimes in truck collisions, the insurance company will deny a claim for no reason other than to protect the driving record of the truck driver. Truckers must follow specific State and Federal regulations. It is important to retain a law firm that understands these regulations. A prompt and thorough investigation into the truck driver's driving record and the condition of his tractor-trailer rig are essential. At the Bono Law Firm, we have handled many cases involving truckers and 18-wheelers. If you are involved in a trucking accident, it is extremely important to contact an attorney as soon as possible, because the trucking company will have their investigators on the scene immediately, looking for evidence that may assist their side of the case. You need someone on your side before the evidence is gone.

Every client of ours is treated equally and with the dignity and respect. We will always be honest and open with our clients and do not “sugar coat” our evaluations of the merit, or lack thereof, of a particular claim.
