Testimonials:
“I have been working with the Primus Family Law Group for over a year a now. I picked them to represent me in court because I felt that they understood where I was coming from, they were knowledgeable about my judge and the opposing counsel in my case, and I could quickly tell that they were passionate about helping their clients find solutions. I did not want to work with an attorney that I felt would drag on my case. I wanted to work with people that could help me evaluate my situation, then help me to develop creative proposals focused on problem solving. This past year, their team has proven their expertise and knowledge surrounding family court laws. The added bonus that I have received by being a client of Primus Family Law Group is in the way they have treated me. I really feel like a part of their family each time I meet with them. I have full confidence in their ability to represent me in court hearings whether or not I am able to be present with them.”

“Bonnie is the most fair, caring, and zealous advocate I have ever had the pleasure to work with. She understood what our family was going through and fought hard to do what was right and in the best interests of the family, especially the special needs children. She was not only professionally invested – she was personally invested in getting to the right result. Bonnie was flexible, fair, and her rates were beyond reasonable when compared with others. I simply cannot recommend her highly enough. Bonnie, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I don’t know where we would be today without you.”
— Chris Young
“To start, I interviewed 5 family law attorneys. I ended up hiring a “big shot/expensive” attorney downtown San Diego that was referred to me by a friend. This was a big mistake, she took 6 months of my time & money and did nothing! I contacted Bonnie’s office and after talking to her over the phone, I knew she would be the one to get the job done! Bonnie was firm and will fight for you and your best interests! I “highly” recommend” Bonnie to anyone going through a divorce or child custody battle.”
— Kathy Vazquez

“Let me tell you, Bonnie is one of the best attorneys I have come across! She is very thorough and always on top of her cases. Why would you go anywhere else? You won’t be let down when you hire Bonnie— we weren’t! Best in town!”
— Kev Thornton
“What drew me to Bonnie Mantel was that she was referred as the “Bulldog Lawyer,” and that’s what I needed. She immediately put herself between my spouse and I so that my stress level could go down. She didn’t let the other attorney control the process, and she stood up for my rights. She anticipated and prepared me every step of the way so I felt relaxed, even though it is a tough thing to go through. Bonnie really cares about people.”
