David A. Bonilla

David A. Bonilla serves as a partner at EEP Law, in New York, New York, where he channels his deep commitment to justice on behalf of injured individuals. He leads one of the firm’s discovery teams, guiding complex document reviews and fact-gathering initiatives. Under his direction, the team has unearthed critical evidence that has reshaped case strategies and led to substantial recoveries. He has secured multimillion-dollar settlements and verdicts by collaborating with medical specialists, vocational experts and accident reconstructionists, always maintaining clear communication to keep clients informed at every stage.

Before entering the legal profession, Mr. Bonilla honed his ability to scrutinize facts and tell compelling stories as a reporter covering local politics for a Queens newspaper. Witnessing the struggles of community members caught in systemic inequities inspired him to pursue a law degree at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. Equipped with a Bachelor of Arts in journalism from Baruch College and his Juris Doctor, he embarked on a legal career marked by tenacious client advocacy and strategic courtroom work.

Mr. Bonilla’s early years as a plaintiff’s attorney in Brooklyn laid the groundwork for his approach today. There, he learned to challenge well-funded corporate defendants, mastering deposition technique and the art of persuasive negotiation. His ability to weave narratives that resonate with judges and jurors alike grew out of both his journalistic training and the empathy he brings to every interaction. As the son of immigrants – born in Cali, Colombia, and raised in the vibrant borough of Queens – he cultivated bilingual fluency that allows him to communicate effectively with Spanish-speaking clients and make them feel heard.
