Principal Attorney Vonnie C. Dones III is the founder of Legalcleanup.com. Dones is a former criminal prosecutor for the Harris County District Attorney’s Office and was responsible for prosecuting and managing thousands of misdemeanor and felony cases. Dones’ caseload was approximately 2,600 cases. Dones also worked as a Staff Attorney for the Earl Carl Insitute at Thurgood Marshall College of Law representing juveniles in juvenile court adjudication matters throughout Harris County and surrounding counties. Dones provided legal representation to children who were in multiple systems including the criminal justice system, disparate educational systems, the mental health system, and foster care system. Dones also expunged and sealed criminal records for juveniles and adults and supervised student attorneys while working for the institute. Prior to that, Dones, as a legal assistant, assisted the Director of the City of Cleveland’s Office of Fair Housing & Consumer Affairs (FHCA) in representing and protecting Clevelanders from consumer scams, fraudulent business practices, and unfair and unequal treatment in housing. Dones provided consumer protection in the following areas: Unfair and deceptive sales practices, fraud, new home construction, debt collection defense, landlord-tenant disputes, breach of contract, warranty disputes, refunds, home solicitations, home repairs and renovations, and contract cancellation.

His experience with the city exposed him to countless complex and unique fraudulent business practices and inequities faced by consumers, in which he now draws upon to help his clients resolve their legal issues. Dones is admitted to practice law in the federal and state courts of New Jersey and in the state courts of New York, Texas, and Washington, D.C. Dones has handled hundreds of civil action, expungement and/or record sealing cases throughout New York, New Jersey, Texas, and DC.
