“WE FIGHT TO MAKE SURE YOUR STORY IS HEARD.”

- Attorney DeBonis

Mr. DeBonis is a seasoned attorney with a diverse and impressive background in both criminal and personal injury law. He earned his Juris Doctor (JD) from Rutgers Law School and later obtained his Master of Laws (LL.M.) from Temple University, a nationally recognized institution in Philadelphia.

After passing the bar exams in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey, Mr. DeBonis launched his legal career at the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, where he quickly rose through the ranks. He served in the Municipal and Juvenile Sectors before being assigned to the Waiver Felony Trials unit, handling high-stakes cases with precision and expertise.

Throughout his tenure in Philadelphia, Mr. DeBonis pursued advanced legal education, earning his LL.M. while continuing to serve the community. He then transitioned to the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office, joining the vertical trial team. There, he successfully managed cases ranging from drug offenses to drug-induced homicides, working closely with victims and ensuring justice was served. His hands-on trial experience has been a cornerstone of his career, having successfully tried countless jury trials.

Today, Mr. DeBonis focuses on representing clients who have suffered catastrophic injuries, with a particular emphasis on trucking and motor vehicle accidents, as well as sexual assault and nursing home neglect matters.
