Attorney Gabriela "Gabbie" Bonilla has been practicing law since 2017, and for her, it’s more than a profession—it’s a calling. As Managing Partner at Bonilla Law, she brings heart, empathy, and a fierce dedication to helping families navigate some of life’s most challenging chapters.

​

Before founding Bonilla Law in 2021, Gabbie’s legal journey began in public service. She started as a prosecutor, then became a legal aid attorney, where she developed a compassionate and people-first approach to family law. Her ability to blend empathy with sharp legal skill is what sets her apart.

​

Born and raised in Miami, Gabbie is a first-generation Venezuelan American and fluent in Spanish. She made Orlando her home after graduating from Barry University School of Law in 2016. Since then, she has served clients across Central Florida—including Orange, Osceola, Lake, Seminole, Volusia, Polk, Brevard, and Sumter counties—with unwavering care and commitment.

​

Gabbie understands that during a divorce or custody battle, it’s easy to lose sight of the big picture. She guides clients back to what matters most—family, healing, and the future. Her passion for family law is deeply personal.

 

"My parents divorced when I was a teen. I’m also a survivor of childhood abuse and grew up in a household affected by substance misuse," Gabbie shares. "Those experiences shaped who I am—and how I advocate. They fuel my commitment to be a steady, compassionate presence for my clients."

​

At Bonilla Law, clients aren’t just case numbers—they’re people in need of support, clarity, and advocacy.

 

Gabbie believes that hiring an attorney shouldn’t feel intimidating or out of reach. “My capacity for empathy allows me to connect with my clients, to really listen. I don’t shy away from the emotion that comes with family conflict—I lean into it so we can get to the heart of the matter and start moving forward.”

​

While the legal world isn’t always glamorous, for Gabbie, it’s a labor of love. She’s here to help families find resolution, rebuild, and regain peace—one case at a time.
