Steve J. Bonnette, Law Ofc of

I called Steve Bonnette to get help with a specific, short-term issue post-divorce. It would have taken me about 2 minutes to explain the situation in order for him to determine if he was interested or willing to work with me, and give me an estimate, but I had literally said three short phrases when he interrupted aggressively and said, "No, no, I don't talk about divorce decrees. I'll sit down with you and explain your decree in my office if you want, and I charge..." etc. What he was saying had no relevance to what I needed so I said, "I don't understand where you're going with this because I haven't explained the situation yet." He interrupted again, brusquely, and in a condescending, almost scolding tone, said, "I don't give free advice." By now it was obvious that he was unpleasant at best, and not the kind of person who could listen in order to make reasonable assessments. This is not someone I'd want to work with. I was so taken aback by his attitude, I said, "I'm not looking for free advice!" Then, rather than pointlessly duke it out on the phone, I hung up, though I admit I might have sworn at him before the phone went dead.

I'm a Canadian resident & had a legal matter in Vermont. I was referred to Elana Baron. She was very professional and got the job done fast!! She exceeded my expectations.
