About Don A
Don A Eilbott has a legal career that stretches back to the early 1970s. He began his professional path after completing law school and has maintained an active presence in the bar for decades. Colleagues and clients see him as a steady practitioner who has worked across state and federal forums over many years.
He earned his J.D. from the University of Arkansas—Fayetteville in 1973. That degree set the course for a practice grounded in courtroom procedure and appellate work. The law school years placed him in the regional legal network that would shape much of his subsequent career.
He joined the Arkansas bar in 1974 and remains a member of the Arkansas Bar Association. In 2017 he became a member of the Tennessee State Bar and is listed as current there as well. Beyond state admissions, he is authorized to appear before the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit and has credentials to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court. Those federal and appellate admissions allow him to take on matters that move beyond the trial level.
Over the decades his practice has involved appearances in state trial courts and federal forums, and he has handled appeals up to higher courts. That work has required careful drafting, oral advocacy, and an attention to procedure. He has navigated filings and hearings that often demand familiarity with both trial and appellate rules.
Today he continues to practice in the region where he trained and began his career. He holds active standing in the Arkansas Bar Association and the Tennessee State Bar and remains admitted to the Eighth Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court. He handles matters that require trial and appellate procedure knowledge, including appearances in federal and Supreme Court settings.
