Donald Matthew Knepper

Donny was the best lawyer for the best price during my DUI case. He walked me through every step of the process and set my mind at ease during a difficult time. He is charismatic and personable. I am so grateful for the service he provided to me and would recommend anyone in the Rockville area to con...sult with him!

I hired Donny for my divorce case because I was told that he was an honest lawyer who would get results without running up my bill. They were right, not only was he honest, but engaging and understanding, as well. I'm so glad I hired him to settle my case! It was important to me that I hire an a...ttorney who I can trust. My ex and I had been married for a long time and we had been financially successful, which meant that there was money to fight over. Not only that, but my ex can be quite difficult. There was ample opportunity for me to get taken advantage of by a lawyer. Donny never let me down. He always looked out for MY best interest. Donny did everything he could to keep the case moving. I am not sure what was going on with my ex and his lawyer, but they did not seem interested in getting anything done quickly. Donny stayed on them, pushing them to produce the records that we needed and come to the bargaining table. Donny also took the time to educate himself about my case. He and his staff processed the information and made everything very easy to understand. I knew what to expect at each stage of the litigation and I knew what was reasonable and what was unreasonable. He was also able to "talk me down" many times, when my ex was doing everything in his power to send the divorce process into litigation. I feel very good about how my case was resolved. I did not want to spend (err waste) the resources going to trial and Donny understood that. He guided the case through a very fruitful mediation. I saved a ton of money working with Donny. I think that anybody who is going through a divorce should meet with him. His approach to the law is disarming and effective. He knows how to win. He helped me through what was the most difficult time in my life, and I am forever grateful.

I was lucky enough to get Mr. Knepper as my attorney for my first (and last) DUI. I was expecting the worst in terms of fines, community service, and possibly jail time. Mr. Knepper made me feel comfortable and confident from the moment we began speaking. He handled my case very promptly and diligent...ly. He was easy to be reached, kept me informed, and was always very friendly and positive. I feel Mr. Knepper took steps with my case others would not have. He challenged my case and was able to get me acquitted. I could not be more pleased with the outcome Mr. Knepper achieved for me, and I 100% recommend him.

I am a financial advisor and I referred a good friend of mine to Mr. Knepper to help him through a delicate divorce involving young children. Mr. Knepper first help settle my friend and advised him of his options - including the estimated cost of each option. Excellent bedside manner. He then hel...ped achieve a settlement in expeditious fashion that was fair and reasonable to both parties. Today, my client tells me he is on good terms with his ex-wife and his children were spared trauma due to unnecessary attorney sabre rattling. Yes, much depends on the two parties to be reasonable but Donny set the stage and it was driven by his desire to achieve the best outcome for his client while keeping the overall cost reasonable

I hired Donny to represent me for a Modification of Custody and Child Support and for a Contempt trial that my ex had filed. He was the third attorney that I have used for the multiple times I have had to go to court for motions filed regarding custody/child support and contempt. Donny was by far th...e best attorney that I have used in that he was extremely compassionate and understanding of not only my mental stress but of my financial stress because of the multiple times I have had to appear in court defending myself against motions filed by my ex. He took the time to listen and learn about my entire case( all 350+ docket entries) and he worked with me regarding a payment plan in order to be able to afford his services. When the final verdict came that the motions for custody and contempt were denied, but the child support modification was granted, Donny immediately spoke to me about filing for an En Banc review (appeal) because he felt that the judge had not followed the criteria for determining whether someone is voluntarily impoverished or not and if he had, the child support could NOT have been modified. Donny explained all of the possible outcomes for the En Banc review but exuded a confidence about winning that convinced me to move forward with it. Donny spent a great deal of time preparing his brief and for the appeal and even contacted his mentor, an extremely successful and long time family law attorney, to help with reviewing the brief and his presentation to be sure it was the best it could be. Needless to say, the result of the En Banc Review was the best it could have been in that the judges previous order was vacated and my ex was ordered to pay the full amount of child support due based on the original order. Donny is an excellent family law attorney because he not only knows family law, but he has the experience in handling criminal appeals which gives him the experience to handle En Banc reviews for family law cases. He is a compassionate, caring, honest and extremely hardworking. I would recommend Donny Knepper enthusiastically and without reservation!
