Established in 1952 (originally as Bonney and Nicit), Bonney Law Firm is the oldest law practice in Waterloo. Sam Bonney welcomed his son Gregory into the practice in 2016, just as Sam's father Theodore (Ted) welcomed him to the firm in 1975. Prior to establishing a firm in Waterloo, Ted had practiced with his father, Nelson Bonney, in Norwich, NY.
When a person dies there are tasks and responsibilities that must be addressed. These often includes the closing of accounts, the payment of any remaining debts, and the distribution of property to heirs as directed by the decedent's will. This area of the law is called probate and estate administration.

Greg was everything I could’ve hoped for when finding a lawyer to help handle my mom’s estate. This was my first time ever dealing with a lawyer and I had no idea what to expect. He was extremely easy work with and told us everything we needed to know up front at our very first meeting. He was proactive throughout the process and seemed to handle every curve ball we ran into with apparent ease. The office was very responsive whenever we needed help. I would recommend anyone looking for estate help to work with the Bonney Law Firm.

Greg was extremely responsive and helpful in regards to an operating agreement I needed reviewed. I was only able to provide him with limited notice and he was able to quickly turn it around and provide insightful feedback. I would highly recommend him and his firm.

I recently got a new job that involved a rather complicated contract (in my opinion). I turned to Greg Bonney for help and he was quick to oblige. He walked me through the contract and explained it in terms that I could understand. He was patient, understanding, and didn't waste my time or money. I would highly recommend Bonney Law Firm.

These folks are absolutely amazing, Greg personally walked me through all steps when my uncle passed. I was very overwhelmed with everything that was happening and he took the weight right off my shoulders. I highly recommend this firm, they treated me like a family member and I'm proud to say that I will never have to go anywhere else. Absolutely amazing!! Thanks again Bonney Law Firm!!

The level of attention to detail and care the firm offered to me was outstanding, from consultation through the finishing process. I've worked with attorneys throughout the United Stated in different sized markets, and have never encountered this level of personalized attention. Just what I needed in a difficult spot. Can't thank the Bonney's enough.
