A History of Excellence

In 1986, after a tenure together in another local firm, Paul E. Rice, Jr. and James L. Rose, 1983 and 1982 graduates of the University of Florida College of Law, respectively, formed the Rice & Rose Law Firm. Philip J. Bonamo earned partnership on January 1, 2009, after four solid years as an associate with the firm. In 2016, James Rose retired after a 30 year successful partnership with Paul Rice. Matthew Shapiro became a partner in November of 2018.

A new era in the firm history occurred

In 2001 the Rice Law Firm took occupancy of its 10,500 square foot office building. The firm purchased an older building on the beachside in Daytona Beach, razed it and constructed a purpose-built state of the art law office. The building has attractive space for up to eight attorneys and provides the platform and resources required to deliver high quality legal services.

Hired Attorney Philip Bonamo

When it comes to understanding and having empathy for a family situation, Mr. Bonamo is the cream of the crop. He and Ashleigh make an amazing team. I felt so comfortable working with both of them through the entire process. To be able to have real trust and confidence in the attorney team that represents my best interest while also maintaining a superior level of knowledge and compassion is priceless. I recommend Mr. Bonamo and Ashleigh to any one who wants to be represented by true professionals that really care about you and your life and family.

Hired Attorney Philip Bonamo

Attorney Bonamo made a possibly uneasy situation for me a breeze! Communication with him and his paralegal, Ashleigh Drexler, was always handled in a professional manner with quick responses. The office staff was pleasant and accommodating when I needed to go into the law firm in person. When I needed more of an explanation for anything, it was discussed until I completely understood it. If you need to use a family law attorney, I would highly recommend ATtorney Bonamo and his team.

Hired Attorney Philip Bonamo

I just have to say my lawyer listened first when I called. Then explained my options. I knew I picked the right person. The one thing I will never forget is when he told me, "We are on Angela's TEAM" I knew I had nothing to worry about.

I have worked with Mr. Bonamo and Rice Law Firm in the past so I knew the representation would be everything needed to ensure a successful case. During the entire process I felt 100% confident in Mr. Bonamo's capability to guide me through the steps while handling every need and questions. I would highly recommend Mr. Bonamo and the entire Team at Rice Law Firm and will continue to hire them for any upcoming law needs.

Hired Attorney Philip Bonamo

I needed a seasoned lawyer to handle my case. Phil was recommended to me by two people who had success with him in the past. Phil was helpful and guided me through the process. If I ever have a need in the future for a lawyer with his level of expertise or someone else needs a lawyer, I will surely use and recommend Phil in the future.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
