Ten Years of Getting It Right

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | November 2, 2026

FORT WORTH, TEXAS — Bonds Ellis Eppich Schafer Jones LLP officially turned 10 on November 1st. The full-service business law firm, based in Fort Worth, has served clients across a wide variety of industries since 2016. The firm was established by seven attorneys with a simple idea: perform excellent legal work for clients whose matters are of the utmost importance to them, while working with colleagues they respect. Ten years later, the firm has grown to more than 25 attorneys, with offices in Fort Worth and Houston.

“Ten years in, that idea still guides everything we do,” said Brandon Jones, Partner. “We are grateful to our clients, referral partners and colleagues who have trusted us along the way. The legal landscape will keep changing, and we’ll change with it. Our commitment won’t. Our clients know we will be here when they need us.”

Bonds Ellis takes a collaborative, business-minded approach to legal representation. With practices including Bankruptcy and Reorganization, Commercial Litigation, and Corporate Transactions, the firm focuses on practical, strategic solutions to each client’s needs and objectives. Many of its attorneys began their careers at large national law firms.

“We lost one of our founding partners and our dear friend, John Bonds, in 2025, and we feel his absence as we mark this milestone,” said Joshua Eppich, Partner. “He helped build this firm from its first day.”

Over the past decade, the firm has been recognized repeatedly by Chambers USA and Best Law Firms, and in 2026 it was named one of Fort Worth Inc.’s Best Companies to Work For for the second year in a row. The firm’s attorneys and staff also serve their communities in Fort Worth and Houston through bar associations, school boards, and nonprofit boards
