Experience
Hunt Bonneau was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. He attended R.L Turner High School and then Abilene Christian University where he majored in Business, lettered as a quarterback on the football team, received All-Conference honors in baseball, and was the team’s Defensive Player of the Year.
After graduating from college in 1992, Bonneau attended the Pepperdine University – Caruso School of Law, where he was a mock trial champion and graduate assistant coach on the Pepperdine baseball team. He interned at the Los Angelas District attorney's office during the time of the highly publicized O.J Simpson trial. It is there that he found his love of being a trial attorney. He 1995 he completed his Juris Doctorate from Pepperdine.
After law school, Hunt immediately got back to his Texas roots and began working as a trial lawyer in Texas, trying ten cases to a jury in just the first year. In 1998 he founded The Bonneau Law Firm and has devoted his entire practice to improving the safety of the community and representing victims of catastrophic injuries and wrongful death. The Firm has recovered over $53,000,000.00 for victims of negligence in his community, through a commitment to taking cases to trial when insurance companies and large corporations refuse to take responsibility for the damages they cause. In a recent interview, Bonneau said, “Sometimes, the difference between a $30,000.00 case and a $7.25 million dollar case, is the guts to say no, and go to trial”. As a result, a large quantity of his work is now devoted to working with victims of concussion and traumatic brain injuries, and going to trial against big corporations, construction site entities, and 18- wheeler company's for carelessly injuring the public.
