Donald Duane Knowlton

Don was recommended to me by another lawyer when I was a student in need of a divorce lawyer. He took my case on an agreement that was very favorable to my student finances then. Despite not paying him hundreds per hour, Don worked on my case as if was his own. On hindsight, he could have billed me h...ourly and made a lot from me, but he didn't. He understood my unique circumstances and he acted with honorable ethics, both when it came to billing and the dedication with which he pursued my case. Not only did Don deliver a very reasonable and expected outcome, throughout the long drawn out process, he intentionally spent time to adjust my unreasonable expectations and made sure my roller coaster emotions were kept in check. He most definitely did not have to do this, but he did. At the end of the case, after we emerged from the trial (the case was not predicted to go to trial, but it did), Don did not shake hands and take off, but instead, he found us a quiet room in the courthouse and asked me to spend some time with him. In that room, over an hour or two, he shared his own experience and advised me on how to move forward with my life now that the trial had ended. Don certainly did not have to do that, but he did. His words of advice, from one who has walked the path I chose to walk, are still remembered today and have helped me immensely with my new life and marriage. What started out as a purely attorney-client relationship turned out to be a blessing to me in disguise. If you are in need of a dedicated and passionate lawyer who will go the extra mile, Don is a lawyer you need to seriously consider. It is my understanding that Don has transitioned to take on personal injury work. The factors that made Don a wonderful lawyer for me should work if you are looking to hire Don for a personal injury case.
