Dorothy C. O’Neil
Attorney at Law

Dorothy C. O’Neil is a Founding Member of BOK Law & Mediation Services. 

​

Dorothy spent several years litigating family law related matters, with an emphasis on complex divorce, custody, and support matters, as well as paternity matters, prenuptial/postnuptial agreements, and protection from abuse cases.  During those years, she worked for a national domestic litigation firm, where she was named the firm’s Overall Top Attorney and Top Performer in her Region in 2013.  In 2014, Dorothy completed the National Institute of Trial Advocacy’s comprehensive trial program for family law matters. Offered in partnership with the American Bar Association Section of Family Law, this program provides attorneys with advanced and intensive training in family law.

​

Despite a successful litigation career, Dorothy saw first-hand how harmful the court process could be for families, not only financially, but emotionally as well.  In 2015, Dorothy made the decision to shift her profession to include out-of-court options for her clients. 

​

In 2016, Dorothy was trained in the Collaborative Divorce Process by the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals, and also completed training to become a Family Law Mediator.  With a unique ability to effectively manage the heightened emotions often found in this area of the law, Dorothy continues to support and advocate for her clients through more stress-free, financially manageable, and efficient out-of-court processes.

​

Dorothy also hosts a podcast, Donuts and Divorce, where she addresses common issues in family law cases, and interviews professionals who support separating families.
