You would expect a man such Mr. Bonsib, would be a man to place your faith. I trusted him and my family trusted him to help me proceed with my criminal trial. He was wrong, bet those cases just get swept under the rug when it comes to his "accomplishments". I would never recommend this man. He was nice and came with high recommendations from a family member who was a retired sheriff. A luxury suv worth of fees were paid by my family and still spent 2 years in prison for a crime I didn't commit because he said to go with a judge trial. Said he knew the judge and thought he would be easier, biggest mistake of my life. The courts weren't even supposed to try me first, but they needed to set a precedent and make an example of me. He was too cocky and I wasn't prepared. I trusted him and I lost a huge part of my life, because even though it was only 2 years + 10 years probation (nevermind, the restitution I was to spend years paying)... it took me nearly 15 years to rebuild. And he never looked back. I mean the man still has a binder full of character reference letters and my actual high school diploma - he called once about returning 5 years ago and I still have yet to see it. Sure I grew a lot closer to God and learned to really appreciate the family and friends who stuck by me, a couple blessings from this whole mess, but I still have to feel the embarrassment I put my loved ones through. Even considered writing a book, still have every letter I sent home to my mom, letters I nearly wrote every day. I hope this helps at least one person in the future.

We retained Mr. Bonsib to assist us with our matter. Mr. Bonsib, who came highly recommended by a friend and co-worker, was aware and very knowledgeable about our matter at the time of our first meeting. He was calming, reassuring and offered us great legal advice and support during a very stressful time for us. He kept an open line of communication and put us at ease during our most troubled time. We could never thank him enough. In my opinion, he is one of the best attorneys in the State of Maryland! Thank you very, very much, Mr. Bonsib!

Mr. Bonsib is, hands down, the best defense attorney I've ever had - & I've had quite a few. From being initially charged with multiple felony offenses (some with mandatory minimums) to the miracle he performed at my sentencing hearing, Mr. Bonsib was professional, sincere, knowledgeable, compassionate, honest and hardworking. He doesn't miss a beat. Along with his awesome support staff, Mr. Bonsib got me through one of the most devastating occurrences in my life - facing prison time. He did so by doing the work necessary to allow the judge to see me, as a human, & not just a criminal. He got me minimal months of incarceration where it very well could have been decades. My family & I are so very grateful to him for sparing us a, very possible, grim future filled with loss & heartache. Let me say, he is, most definitely, the best defense attorney EVER!!

Mr. Bonsib Has Represented Me On Several Occasions Including Both Criminal And Traffic Matters. I Am So Grateful For His Services, Because The Outcome Of Those Proceedings Were In My Favor. Anytime I Called Mr. Bonsib Whether On His Personal Cell Phone Number Or His Office Number, I Was Always Able To Speak To Him Directly. When I Was Quoted The Price By Mr. Bonsib To Obtain Him As My Attorney, I Was Caught Off Guard Because His Prices Were The Same That I Was Quoted By Other Attorneys And Law Firms In The Area, But None Of Them Had The Level Of Experience And/Or The Reputation That He Had. Mr. Bonsib Should Be The Only Attorney You Call If You Ever Need A Lawyer, Because He Deserves It And Earned It! Thanks Again, Mr. Bonsib For All Your Hard Work!

Robert Bonsib was hired during a scary time in my life in which he was a cornerstone of confidence and knowledge. I was very lucky to have him help me. From the day of my questioning through hearings to court appearances he represented me with accuracy, sensitivity and skill. If he did not represent me I do not believe my family or I could have made it through this legal issue. When in the court house from the security guards to the staff and other prosecutors Robert Bonsib treated others with respect and received it back twice over. The attention and demeanor of Robert Bonsib kept me at ease, answering any and all questions I had. -Satisfied Client

Dear Bob, I want to thank you from the bottom of our heart It was really a long journey and thank God my husband and I made it. I was so lucky to have you as our lawyer. It was a miracle because you joined in the last minute. From the first minute I felt that we are in good hands. You set a face time call with me and I told you the story. you listen with so much patient that at some point I did not know if you are still on the line. From the first moment you were honest with me and you did not promise any results. But I knew you are going to do your best so we can have the best results. When I told you that we had more people on my team you said that you have no problem with that and all the way you spoke to them and worked with them so all of you were on the same page. Your paralegal, Amy worked days and nights to make sure we got everything done . Amy supported me in such a delectate way on a few days. On the most important day she set next to me and made sure I will make it. Bob, the time came and I needed to give my speech and to fight for my life. I was shaking but you hold my hands and I was able to deliver my speech. it was not easy to find a lawyer that his so knowledgeable and honest. you have it all!!! We were blessed to have you and Amy on our team and can’t wait to share good news with you in the future.

I would just like to say a very belated thank you on behalf of my son and our family for all of your help and support and cannot express our gratitude enough. I have attached some photos to show you how well it is all going and this would not have been possible if it were not for your representation. Again, thank you so much as I'm sure if it were not for you we would have been looking at a very different outcome right now! would not have been possible if it were not for your representation and support > >Thank you

I highly recommend Bob as a legal counselor and advisor. The legal motion Bob prepared along with evidence gathered resulted in my case being dismissed by the State's Attorney Office prior to my trial date.

I was charged with 1st degree attempt murder in Calvert County, MD. I fired my old lawyer and hired Bob ( Mr. Bonsib ) with only 2 months untill trial. The victim testified against me, and my co-defendent turned on me as well. Bob saved my life, what more can I say not guilty on all counts making all the witnesses look like fools. If I get locced up for anything big or small I only trust Bonsib or anyone under his guidance with my life. Worth every penny.

Last year I was falsely charged with a crime by the States Attorneys Office for Prince Georges County Maryland. There is no way to even describe how this devastated mine and my families lives. I immediately started searching for the best criminal defense attorney in the Maryland and Washington DC area. After speaking with a lot of people and doing a lot of research on the internet, I found that Mr. Bonsib's name was continuously being recommended. I scheduled a consultation with Mr. Bonsib and explained my case to him. He took the time to listen to me and was very professional and sincere. Mr. Bonsib believed in my innocents and agreed to represent me. My trial ended up being about a year later but prior to the trial, Mr. Bonsib kept in touch and met with me countless times to prepare for the trial. He also sought out numerous expert witnesses to testify one my behalf. He left no stone unturned while preparing my defense. When my three day trial finally came Mr, Bonsib showed up each morning very well prepared and ready to fight for me. Each day he alone faced a team of three states attorneys and did an amazing job defending me and presenting the true facts of the case. Thanks to Mr. Bonsib's superior knowledge and skills he was able to explain my case to the judge and make it simple for the judge to see my innocents. I was found not guilty on all charges and was able to start putting my life back together. My family and I will always remember what Mr. Bonsib did for me and I will always consider him a true friend.
