This page contains the communications and documents Lindsay Dodson throughout the case of 20-FM-3914 in the DeKalb County Superior Court. Her representation ended with a her notice of a nondescript conflict of interest, an ultimatum to wave my rights to make future claims against her for violating a conflict of interest, and ultimately her withdrawal without my consent.  I did not receive the required 10 days for an opportunity to object, because the motion was granted within minutes of it being filed.

Lindsay Dodson wrote:

At your request, I will continue to represent you in settlement negotiations ONLY, and I will refrain from filing a withdrawal on the following 2 conditions:

1. You confirm in writing that if I remain involved for settlement purposes only, you will waive any potential future claim of conflict of interest under Georgia Rule 1.7,
Conflict of Interest: General Rule, which provides in part that: A lawyer shall not represent or continue to represent a client if there is a significant risk that the lawyer’s own interests will materially and adversely affect the representation of the client.

2. In the event that the case does not settle on or before September 20, 2022, you retain Substitute Counsel to try the case.
