Dedicated to Promoting Truck Safety Nationwide

Bonnie Pierce’s introduction to the legal world began in 1993 following the tragic death of her teenage son in a truck crash. Attorney Pierce’s personal tragedy was the spearhead behind the pursuit of her career in law and remains the driving force behind every truck crash she investigates.

Pierce is a dedicated victim’s advocate and promoter of highway safety. She has traveled to Washington D.C. where she testified before lawmakers on the rules governing the hours of service, the need to keep rest areas open, and for tougher laws and stricter enforcement. Since 1994 Pierce has served as North Carolina’s point of contact for Parents Against Tired Truckers (P.A.T.T.), a grassroots organization made up of families of other truck crash victims which serves as a strong safety advocacy group.

    Pierce is a 2009 graduate of East Carolina University with a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice, and a 2015 graduate of NCCU School of Law.
