Meet Megan Bonanni:

A Trusted Advocate for Survivors 

Megan Bonanni has spent her career standing up for survivors of sexual abuse and harassment—particularly in cases involving universities, athletic departments, and youth-serving organizations. She is nationally recognized for her work in high-profile cases, including: 

  • The Larry Nassar litigation, representing over 400 survivors and securing a historic $390 million recovery 

  • The University of Michigan’s Dr. Robert Anderson case, involving more than 1,000 survivors and resulting in a $490 million settlement 

  • Sexual assault claims involving the University of Kentucky swim team, Hillsdale College, Eastern Michigan University, and more 

Megan combines fierce legal advocacy with deep empathy. Known among her peers as “the crying lawyer,” she connects personally with her clients, empowering them to reclaim their voices while pursuing meaningful accountability. 

“Megan Bonanni is truly one of the most caring and competent people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. She is relentless in her pursuit of justice for her clients and goes above and beyond to build and maintain lasting relationships. I’ve personally known Megan for over five years and have worked with her on multiple court cases. In each one, she consistently advocated for me while also empowering me with the space and tools to advocate for myself. I can’t think of anyone I would trust more as my attorney.”
