Donn Prokopius
Founding Attorney & Lead Family Law Advocate
Donn W. Prokopius is a seasoned Nevada attorney with more than 25 years of legal experience serving individuals and families throughout Las Vegas and Southern Nevada. He founded PRO LAW GROUP in 2000 with one guiding principle: provide personalized representation that prioritizes clarity, fairness, and strategic outcomes for every client.
Background & Credentials
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Donn earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business from Bowling Green State University and followed that with a Master of Business Administration before completing his Juris Doctorate at Case Western Reserve University School of Law in 1997. Shortly after passing the bar, Donn took his very first case to trial, launching a career defined by litigation experience, courtroom confidence, and practical counsel.
Admitted to the State Bar of Nevada in 1997, Donn has spent his entire career practicing in the areas of family law, criminal defense, and personal injury, with a particular focus on divorce law, child custody, and support matters. Over the years he has handled thousands of cases and guided clients through complex legal challenges with honesty and strategic insight.
Practice Philosophy
Donn believes that the strongest legal representation comes from clear communication, thoughtful planning, and individualized attention. He tells clients what they can and cannot expect from the law, empowering them to make informed decisions with confidence. His approach blends fierce advocacy in court with practical solutions outside of it, earning trust from clients facing some of life’s most stressful transitions.
Unlike many firms that rely solely on hourly billing, Donn instituted a flat fee structure early in his practice so clients would always know their costs upfront. This transparent billing model reflects his commitment to ethical representation and empowering clients, not overwhelming them with unexpected legal fees.
