About Donald

Donald L. Bell, born on September 29, 1975, in Montgomery, Alabama, is a dedicated legal professional with a rich background rooted in commitment and service. Raised in Montgomery, Donald completed his secondary education at Carver Sr. High, graduating with top honors which reflected his early dedication to excellence.

Inspired by a strong desire to serve his country, Donald enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in August 1993. His service was marked by the fundamental values of honor, courage, and commitment—principles that he embraces and integrates into his legal practice daily. During his time in the military, Donald pursued higher education, first achieving an Associate of Arts degree with honors from Campbell University in North Carolina in 1996. He went on to earn a bachelor's degree from the University of Maryland, furthering his academic portfolio.

After six years of distinguished service, Donald was honorably discharged from the Marine Corps. His transition from military to civilian life led him to a pivotal role as a Deputy Clerk at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. It was here that he developed a deep interest in bankruptcy law, a specialty that would define much of his legal career.

Donald's commitment to the legal field propelled him to attend law school at the University of Maryland in Baltimore, where he graduated in May 2003. During his law studies, he gained invaluable experience by working closely with a leading Bankruptcy Trustee in Baltimore City for over two years, enriching his understanding and expertise in the field.

Donald is a licensed attorney eligible to practice before the Court of Appeals in Maryland, as well as the Federal District Court and the Maryland Federal Bankruptcy Court. His professional affiliations are extensive, including membership in the American Bar Association, the Maryland State Bar Association, and several other regional bar associations such as the Maryland Federal Bankruptcy Bar Association, the Maryland Consumer Bankruptcy Bar Association, and the Maryland Trial Lawyers Association. Additionally, Donald is actively involved with the Prince George's County Bar Association, Howard County Bar Association, Montgomery County Bar Association, and J. Franklyn Bourne Bar Association.

Throughout his career, Donald has consistently demonstrated a dedication to providing thoughtful and effective legal counsel, guided by the enduring values he developed early in his life and during his time in the armed forces. His approach to law integrates rigorous legal acumen with a commitment to serve his clients with integrity and respect.
