Michael J. Dodson

Biography

Michael Dodson, originally from Pearcy, enrolled in the University of Central Arkansas in 1991. During this time he began public speaking, winning a spot on the University’s debate team. He was recognized as UCA’s Outstanding Debater for the 1995-96 school year and awarded a scholarship. While at UCA, he earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education, with a double major in Speech and History. Mr. Dodson enrolled in the University of Arkansas School of Law in 1998 and continued to excel in public speaking. He advanced to the semi-final round of the mock trial competition as a first year student and was selected as a member of the law school’s trial competition team. He was also elected by the class ahead of him to serve as a member of the Board of Advocates for demonstrating superior advocacy skills. Finally, Mr. Dodson was elected by his own class to serve as the Class Speaker at their commencement ceremony.

Mr. Dodson represents individuals who have been injured through the negligence of others or who are being treated unfairly by the insurance industry. In addition to his personal injury practice, Mr. Dodson has extensive experience in criminal defense. This experience includes multiple felony jury trials. He knows how difficult it is for family members to watch a loved one dragged through the legal system, regardless of the circumstances that put them there. If you feel you or someone you know deserves zealous representation, contact Mr. Dodson immediately.
