A Lawyer’s Memoir of Trauma, Narcissistic Abuse, and Weaponized Divorce

By: Dovie King JD

Narrated by: Gretchen Weber

Survivor at Law is a gripping memoir of narcissistic abuse, coercive control, and a weaponized legal system, told by attorney Dovie King. She shares her unflinching story of trauma, betrayal, and the fight to reclaim her voice—offering insight and empowerment for anyone who has felt trapped, silenced, or overlooked.

A proud Latina, public interest lawyer, and educator, Dovie spent her career fighting for others while privately enduring a relationship that would test everything she believed about justice—culminating in many years of a legal battle and divorce that exposed the dark side of the system meant to protect her, but also sparked her transformation. This is not a story of blame. It’s a story of survival.

Powerful, Raw, Fearless, and Darkly Funny!

Survivor at Law isn’t just a memoir — it’s a reckoning. Dovie King tells her story with unflinching honesty, dark humor, and the kind of insight that only comes from surviving the unthinkable and then daring to fight back. Hearing the voice on Audible adds another layer of power — you can feel every ounce of pain, resilience, and determination behind each word.

As a survivor myself, I found parts of this book gut-wrenching, but also deeply validating. Dovie pulls back the curtain on how the legal system often retraumatizes the very people it’s supposed to protect. Yet she also shows that healing and justice — even imperfect justice — are still possible.

This audiobook is both heartbreaking and empowering. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt silenced or dismissed, and for anyone who wants to understand how courage looks in real life. By the end, I was cheering for her — and for every survivor who refuses to be defined by their abuse.

POWERFUL and Inspiring

Survivor at Law is incredibly powerful and deeply relatable. Ms. King shares her experience with DV, SA, retaliation, and abuse of power in a way that feels painfully real. I cried several times listening. Her story reflects the reality so many survivors live through when navigating the legal system, including institutional betrayal, abuse by people in power, and the isolation that follows, yet these experiences are rarely spoken about with this level of honesty and transparency.

It could easily be a lifeline to any survivor.

What makes this book especially inspiring is her perspective as an attorney. She explains how the legal system works and where it is failing survivors, while also showing what resilience, courage, and persistence look like in real life. Thank you for work and sharing your story Ms King!
