David D. Dodge |
Arizona Expert Witness in Legal Ethics and Standard of Care Matters
As one of Arizona’s most recognized
and valued resources in the area of
professional responsibility for
lawyers, David D. Dodge gives expert testimony
and advice on legal ethics and
standard of care issues. In
association with attorney Denise M. Quinterri (www.azethicslaw.com), he also
consults with
lawyers charged with ethical and
disciplinary offenses.
David Dodge has practiced law since
1965 – first in Cincinnati and,
since 1981, in Phoenix – focusing on
civil litigation, legal ethics and
professional responsibility. His
work in the area of legal ethics and
professional responsibility began in
1978, when he was appointed to serve
on the Grievance Committee of the
Cincinnati Bar Association. In that
capacity, he investigated and heard
complaints against lawyers
practicing in surrounding Hamilton
County, Ohio, and represented the
Cincinnati Bar Association in
appeals by sanctioned lawyers to the
Ohio Supreme Court.
After relocating his practice to
Phoenix, David Dodge served as
volunteer Bar Counsel and as an
alternate hearing officer for the
State Bar of Arizona. In the
mid-1980s he was appointed to one of
the State Bar's hearing committees,
eventually becoming the chairman of
Hearing Committee 1J.
In 1994, he was appointed to the
Disciplinary Commission of the
Arizona Supreme Court, the lawyer
regulation equivalent of the court
of appeals from decisions made by
hearing committees, hearing
officers, Bar counsel and Probable
Cause panelists. He served on the
Disciplinary Commission for the full
terms allowed, including a term as
chairman, until 2000. During that
time, he reviewed and participated
in approximately 400 disciplinary
matters.
David Dodge is a monthly columnist
on legal ethics and professional
responsibility for the
Arizona Attorney magazine,
published by the State Bar of
Arizona. He also lectures several
times a year at ethics and
professionalism seminars sponsored
by local lawyers' groups (such as
the Arizona Trial Lawyers
Association), local bar associations
(including the Maricopa County Bar
Association), the State Bar of
Arizona and national continuing
legal education providers, such as
the Washington and Oregon CLE Forum,
National Business Institute and
Lorman Educational programs. |
