After many years as a litigator and advocate, I am now handling primarily mediation. I have mediated numerous types of cases, including: personal injury, family law, custody, wage and hour disputes, contract disputes, deceptive trade practices claims, wrongful death, and even defamation claims. Over the years, I have handled injury claims across the State of Texas. Car wrecks, 18 wheeler wrecks, motorcycle wrecks, and other catastrophic injury cases. I graduated from the University of Houston Law Center in 2004. As a law student, I worked for the University of Houston Consumer Law Center where I focused on educating the general public about protecting their rights as consumers. Other attorneys in my firm handle additional areas of practice, such as family law, divorce, child custody, and criminal defense.

Excellent and Friendly
Donivan Flowers is an excellent attorney, and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking representation in a personal injury or family law matter. What sets Donivan apart from his peers is his meticulous, consistent way of communicating with clients and potential clients. I have never had to ask Donivan for an update, he has always readily provided one for me in a timely manner. This is because Donivan cares about the people he represents. He wants his clients to be informed, and for them know that he is looking out for their interests.

Awesome Job
i was being sued for thousands of dollars, and Felix with the help of Donivan. Got the case dismissed. What a relief, I have never being sued before. I had no worries after talking with Felix, and Donivan. They were very professional, and made me feel comfortable. They have the knowledge, and no how to deal with the person that was sueing me. I will recommend these two lawyers to everyone. After I met with both Felix, and Donivan on my first visit. I left there office knowing I just made two new friends. THANK YOU ! For all you done !!

Great Job
Donivan did a great job handling my insurance claim. I was refused coverage 2 times until he took my case. He was able to get a fair settlement and did it with the upmost integrity. He was always available by phone and email to keep me updated on the status. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is not getting a fair deal.

Help with Insurance Claim
What an amazing attorney! I hired Donivan to help me when my insurance company would not fix my house properly. He was able to get them talking, guide me through the logistics of filing a law suit and continually gave me honest and accurate information regarding my case. This man is intelligent, hardworking and communicates well... and as honest as the day is long. Thank you Donivan.

Great attorney
Mr. Flowers is a great attorney, he exceeded my expectations involving my case. I would highly recommend him. One thing I really liked is that anytime I had a question he was very prompt at responding to me either through phone calls or emails.

Insurance Claim
I contacted Mr. Flowers after my auto insurance refused to pay a hail damage claim. I was able to correspond with Mr. Flowers both by telephone and email. He was very personable and upfront and honest. He was able to settle my claim with the insurance company within 2 weeks for the full damages to my vehicles. I would highly recommend him and his staff,

A MAN OF INTEGRITY, HONOR, JUSTICE, AND HOPE FOR ALL WHO CALL ON HIM.
I had been off probation for around five months when I wanted to try to get a statement of non disclosure for a theft charge that I was put on deferred adjudication for. I called a lot of the brass hat Smith County Attorneys and got a lot of negative feedback like the attorney's wanting me to pay around $2,000 dollars for their services and wanted me to wait until the spring of 2015. I found this unacceptable and I found Donivan's profile on this website and saw all of the positive reviews and I decided to call me. He quoted me a decent price and told me not to worry that he would fight for me against the Smith County Attorney's Office if they objected to me wanting to get a statement of non disclosure. Donivan started on my case right away after I had a free consultation. Donivan gave me updates every few weeks and he stayed on top of the Smith County Clerks Office to make sure that my petition was filed in a very efficient manner. It took less than two months and I went to court. When I got to court the court told me that I was not on the docket, and Donivan went and told them that I had better be on that docket on that day. Donivan fought for me, believed in me, had faith in me that I was a changed man and that I deserved to have this incident off my record. I went in front of the judge with Donivan's help and I was granted the statement of non disclosure. Now, that I am a college graduate I can now go on with my life and not have to worry about that incident coming up on a criminal background check. The Law in Smith County is tough to fight against and is tough to deal with at times, but Donivan is one of those attorneys that will fight for you in the name of justice, and he will make sure my rights and your rights are followed in the name of the law. If you have a criminal case pending in Smith County get an attorney as soon as possible because the D.A.'s office will do everything they can to be hard on the defendant's because they want to meet a certain quota and victory rate per year. Donivan is a good christian man and attorney who is honest and will fight for you and your future. TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS!!!!!

Donivan Flowers
I was referred to Donivan by a mutual friend when I was rear ended. He was very pleasant to work with as was his staff. He kept me informed on what was going on and handled the case in a professional and timely manner. I would definitely use his firm again if I needed it.

Good 'Ole East Texas Lawyer! Actually, he is Greeeeaaattt!
My husband and I had the pleasure of being referred to Donivan Flowers last August after we had been in an accident with a 2nd offense drunk driver. He was the 2nd attorney we spoke to after the first one said that we should just settle with the insurance company ourselves. Fortunately, we had friends that help direct us to Donivan. He drove to our home instead of us having to drive to his office which we were very impressed with. He came in and set our minds at ease. During the time it took settling with the insurance companies it became very clear to us that we would have been fools to try and go at this alone. Donivan knew laws and regulations we obviously knew nothing about. If you are looking for a smart, compassionate, and confident, yet, laid-back kind of attorney then Donivan Flowers is your man. He is just a "Sweet 'Ole East Texas Boy" at heart. We liked him so much that when I was in yet another unfortunate "not at fault" accident 3 weeks ago, Donivan Flowers Law Firm was my first call.... after my husband, of course! Thank you Donivan for your extreme patients and uplifting personality!

Its hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world.” SO STOP LOOKING Donivan is THAT DIAMOND!
I have dealt with my share of lawyers through out my tragic events in life, I have never Had a lawyer be a concerned friend, counselor, personal advisor and yet still defend my rights in such a way as Mr. flowers has. My back was broken in two places from being struck by a car I called the insurance company myself which was a mistake! The adjuster was very condescending and treated me as if I Did something wrong. After realizing this was going to be a war after I battled the adjuster I called Mr. Flowers Firm. From day one Donivan was on my case kept me informed on everything and to my surprise was able to get me max policy limits of 50,000 dollars from a company Known for its pitiful claim payouts. Trust me this will be the only call you will need to make call him the Iron Man of lawyers I highly Recommend his Firm IM 100% satisfied. So in my Tony the Tiger voice: 'DONIVAN IS GREAT'

An attorney that works for YOU!
Mr. Flowers handled a case for my son. He kept us well informed and answered any questions we had. I have also called him on other legal matters and he has always been available and advised me with my best interest in mind. I would highly recommend him.

Made a daunting process easy
Donivan took our difficult case when no other firm would help us. While our prospects were poor, he was willing to represent us in our (property) insurance dispute. Donivan was extremely easy to work with, gave us realistic expectations and was enthusiastic and tireless. He kept us informed throughout the endeavor and made the entire process stress-free. In the end his hard work prevailed and our settlement was more than fair. We would highly recommend Donivan Flowers.
