About Adam S
Adam S Doner has been a familiar figure in the Palm Beach legal community for decades. He built his foundation in Florida classrooms before moving into practice. His path has been steady and marked by service to local bar organizations and sustained work at a neighborhood law firm.
He earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Florida in 1976. He then returned to law school and received a J.D. from Nova Southeastern University in 1980. Those years coincided with a period of growth in South Florida's courts and bar associations. Doner’s education placed him among a generation of lawyers who stayed in the region to practice.
Early in his career he became involved in organized bar work. He served as chairman of the Palm Beach County Bar Association’s Family Law Committee from 1993 to 1994. Later he accepted a leadership post as president of the North Palm Beach County Bar Association in 2007. Both roles put him in regular contact with colleagues across practice areas and gave him experience running professional programs and meetings.
Doner maintains active memberships in The Florida Bar and the Florida Justice Association. Those memberships reflect ongoing engagement with statewide professional networks. Over the years he has attended continuing education programs, contributed to local bar initiatives and participated in committee work that shapes practice standards in the county.
His office is at Gordon & Doner, P.A., where he has practiced for many years. At the firm he has combined casework with bar activity and client-facing duties. He is known to colleagues as someone who has kept a steady practice rhythm rather than seeking public office or frequent headline work. That steadiness has meant long-term client relationships and recurring work in the courthouse and mediation settings.
Doner’s background in family law committee leadership suggests a sustained interest in family-related matters, and his association with the Florida Justice Association indicates involvement in broader plaintiff and civil justice concerns. He has balanced courtroom appearances, negotiations and client counseling across whatever matters come through his office.
He continues to practice at Gordon & Doner, P.A., where his work remains centered on serving clients in the Palm Beach area. His current practice focuses on client representation in local civil and family law matters.
