Dovie Yoana King

I am not currently accepting clients or providing legal representation.

I am the author of the memoir Survivor at Law, a darkly humorous but deeply honest account of surviving abuse while navigating the legal system as both a lawyer and a survivor. My writing explores the intersection of law, power, trauma, and resilience. Learn more at .

I am an award-winning attorney, educator, and law career advisor with more than 30 years of experience in public interest law. Over the course of my career, I have worked to expand access to justice for marginalized communities, representing workers, immigrants, survivors of domestic violence, and low-income individuals through legal aid organizations and private practice. I have also provided pro bono representation to survivors seeking restraining orders and safety protections.

In addition to legal practice, I have taught in legal studies programs and served in academic and advising roles at several universities, mentoring law students and aspiring lawyers pursuing careers in public interest and social justice. I have published numerous articles on law and social justice and have spoken on panels and professional forums about public interest careers and access to justice. I also serve on nonprofit and legal advisory boards focused on constitutional values, mental health, and community advocacy.
