WE ARE THE FIRM LAWYERS CALL
WHEN THEIR FAMILY, FRIENDS OR CLIENTS NEED HELP
When we asked Michael Bononi and Bill
Waldo what distinguishes The Bononi Law Group
from other firms, they did not hesitate: “We
are the firm that lawyers call when their family,
friends or clients need help. When a lawyer
against whom you have litigated as an adversary
calls and asks you to represent a member of his
family, you know you are doing something right.”
The Bononi Law Group’s practice is primarily
devoted to employment law issues, including
sexual harassment; disability, race, pregnancy
and age discrimination; retaliation; unfair
competition; whistleblower claims; and wage
and overtime disputes. The two partners, Mr.
Bononi and Mr. Waldo, have over 60 years of
experience litigating employment disputes in
numerous venues and forums. Mr. Bononi states
most of the firm’s business derives from referrals
by other lawyers or former clients. “People feel
comfortable referring business when they know
you put your client’s interests first,” he says.
“That has been a key to our success.”
The Bononi Law Group provides its lawyers
the necessary resources to represent Fortune
50 companies as well as individuals, both
as plaintiffs and defendants. “Lawyers used
to be referred to as counselors, something
we strive to bring back to the practice,” says
Mr. Waldo. “In many ways, we are problem-
solvers. If the parties cannot resolve a dispute,
a jury will.” He believes the firm’s experience
on both sides of litigation gives its lawyers the
unique ability to anticipate their opponent’s
strategies and to provide a more accurate
assessment of a case’s value than lawyers who
are limited to one side of the fence.
