"Extremely experienced and knowledgeable."
Edmund Bon
"Edmund Bon is very focused on providing strategies and solutions that are practical to execute, using the least resources and best protecting the child from further trauma in the child visitation dispute I am involved in. He is efficient in eliminating distractions that prevent the parties involved from seeing the real problems and is skilled at steering them toward a win-win settlement. He articulates and makes sense of the most delicate parts of his client's story, which are critical for the case yet too challenging to recount in a structured way. He knows what he is doing."
