Michael Bonasso Named to Lawyers & Leaders Class of 2020



Flaherty Sensabaugh Bonasso PLLC is pleased to announce that Member, 
Michael Bonasso, has been named to the Lawyers & Leaders Class of 2020. Since 2017, West Virginia Executive magazine, in partnership with the West Virginia University College of Law, has been working to shine a light on lawyers who strive to do the best for their clients, communities, and fellow people with the Lawyers & Leaders Awards.

Mike, one of Flaherty’s founding members and Managing Member for 27 years, has defended companies in the areas of complex, mass and class action litigation and product litigation for more than 40 years. In addition to Lawyers & Leaders, he was inducted into the 2014 Class of The State Journal Who’s Who in West Virginia Business, which recognizes business contributions that improve communities and the state.

Mike has served in leadership roles with the Defense Trial Counsel of West Virginia, Federation of Defense & Corporate Counsel, and USLAW NETWORK while also coaching the Kanawha Valley Youth Soccer League and volunteering with Ambassadors of Compassion, a mentoring program at West Side Middle School. He looks to continue to serve in legal leadership roles in addition to continuing his travels to Central and South America and Greece to work with the churches and mission groups that are doing so much good for the poorest of the poor.

“The West Virginia University College of Law is proud to join West Virginia Executive magazine in recognizing this year’s class of Lawyers & Leaders,” says Interim Dean John Taylor. “The honorees showcase the legal profession at its best. Their service and leadership have made this state a better place, and we are grateful for what they have done and what they will continue to do in the years ahead.”
