Michael Bono began his legal career more than thirty years ago at a personal-injury firm in New Orleans. Over the years his practice has grown to include business and commercial law and estate planning, helping individuals, families and business owners plan for what matters most to them.
The Charbonnet Law Firm has a long history — spanning half a century — of serving the estate planning and succession needs of New Orleans families, and this is Michael’s focus at the firm.
He knows firsthand what a family faces when a loved one’s affairs aren’t in order. Decades of helping businesses plan for the unexpected have taught him that a good plan protects a family the same way a good contract protects a business: by anticipating problems before they arise. That’s why he urges clients to put a clear plan in place while they can — so the people they love are never left guessing.
Michael has deep roots in New Orleans and holds two law degrees: a Juris Doctor from Loyola University and a Master of Laws (LL.M.) from Tulane University.
