Our Team

Josh Bonnici has always had one passion in life: to help people through life’s struggles. Whether it was travelling with his home church to Mexican orphanages, aiding classmates as a teacher’s assistant, or volunteering at a local high school for homeless teenagers, he pursues to aid those in need.

In looking towards his future, he decided in high school that becoming an attorney was his life’s choice. Josh then attended the University of California, San Diego, where he majored in Political Science and took advanced law courses prior to law school. From there, he attended Thomas Jefferson School of Law and worked for a local Plaintiff’s personal injury firm during and after his schooling. While at TJSL, he worked as a professor’s assistant, coached an award-winning alternative dispute team and took part in a volunteer teaching program, teaching homeless high school students at the Toussaint Academy in San Diego.

  “My personal promise to clients is responsiveness and information sharing – if you have a question, you will be fully informed in the quickest time possible, usually within 24 hours.” Josh

Drawing from all of his experiences and education, Josh decided to open his own practice where he could focus on helping people with some of their most life-altering situations. Josh understands that navigating the legal waters in a law suit can be daunting, but is dedicated to making sure each client has their case seen through from beginning to end. Josh’s philosophy has always been that truly helping a client isn’t just through representation – but through personal attention, zealous advocacy, and transparency.

In his spare time, Josh enjoys spending time outside hiking or mountain biking, playing with his Jack Russell terrier, watching and playing baseball, weight-lifting, and trying the newest local craft beer or restaurant with his wife Julia.

Steven has handled hundreds of cases in a variety of areas of law and currently helps BLG with: Civil Litigation, Personal Injury, Workers Compensation and Social Security Disability

In early 2009 Steven graduated with honors as the class Salutatorian from Laurence Drivon School of Law in Stockton, CA. In law school, Steven received numerous awards and recognitions. Throughout Law School Steven worked for law firms during the day and attending school in the evenings.

After taking the Bar Exam Steven packed up his belongings and moved to San Diego. He was immediately offered and accepted a position as an Associate Attorney with a prominent Family Law Firm in Carlsbad, CA. This however led to a quick “divorce” after realizing it wasn’t his life calling. Steven obtained employment with a firm in Mission Valley where he handled hundreds of cases in various areas of law including: Workers Compensation, Personal Injury, and Civil Litigation. There, he solely developed a new area of law in the firm representing clients in Social Security Disability claims. Steven remained with the firm for just under 5 years before joining up with friend and respected fellow counsel Joshua Bonnici.

Shortly after joining BLG, Steven now works as an Of Counsel attorney handling specialized cases involving workers compensation and social security claims, as well as “cross-over” cases that involve multiple practice areas.

Steven is a very active and ambitious individual. Outside of work it is very hard to get Steven to sit still for more than five minutes. He loves to be outdoors doing anything from hiking, to paddle boarding, to barbequing, to spending quality time with friends and family. Outside of work you would never guess Steven is an Attorney. He is very laid back and enjoys things like occasional carpentry, riding his motorcycle, or working on the home he recently purchased.
