Every Case Is Different
The results above reflect specific facts and circumstances, and no two cases are alike. What your case is worth depends on the severity of your injuries, the available insurance, the strength of the evidence, and many other factors. We can't promise a number — but we can promise an honest evaluation and the same effort that produced these outcomes.
Beyond Personal Injury
Complex Claims & Economic Loss Recovery
Personal injury is our focus — but it isn't the only high-stakes recovery work this firm has handled. The matter below shows the scale, and the hands-on approach, we bring to complex claims.
BP Oil Spill Economic Settlement — Gulf Coast Businesses
300+
Business owners we met with across the Gulf Coast
150+
Businesses we recovered economic losses for
$20M+
Total recovered through the settlement program
After the BP Deepwater Horizon spill, John and Michael Bono personally traveled the Gulf Coast to help small businesses recover the income they lost. Just the two of them — with a single law clerk handling the paperwork — met with more than 300 business owners, ran their revenue numbers, gave presentations, and joined local builders associations and chambers of commerce. They pursued claims only for the businesses that qualified, and recovered more than $20 million for over 150 of them — helping owners replace economic losses tied to the spill and get back on their feet.
It wasn't injury work, but it's exactly how we still practice today: the attorney whose name is on the door handles your case personally, from the first meeting to the last check.
