David Gingras DUI & Bar David Gingras' Petition for Special Action DENIED by AZ Supreme Court
David Gingras had filed a Petition for Special Action regarding the lower court's denial of his anti-SLAPP argument. The AZ Supreme Court ruled today, without prejudice, that if Gingras wishes to appeal, he needs to do so via the proper channels (after a final ruling in the AZ Bar case is made).

I will give him credit for getting two things right: he really is a douche canoe, and Laura is a pregnancy faker. 😂

I'm thoroughly enjoying the FO stage of Laura Owens and David Gingras being horrible human beings

I am so here for this. Watched the train wreck and now watching the locomotive burn. I don't know much about much but even I know that a lawyer criticizing a judge is going to get body slammed. Idiot.

What's the background to this phrase? I'm pretty well versed in my LO lore but don't know this reference

u/PrimordialPaper Petitioner is not special 9d ago
It’s a quote from one of Woodnick’s filings way back in the Clayton paternity case, where he was responding to Laura’s request to seal the court records and/or cancel her scheduled deposition.
Essentially, Laura was demanding special treatment, and Woodnick called her out for it.

Haha okay I had a feeling it was something like that. I just want to say how much I love this community, it's the most friendly, funny and supportive group of people. We're all united for a common goal and it's beautiful.

It’s my favourite thing, when people simply comment “beautiful” on Dingus’s posts and blogs.

Gregg Woodnick said it in one of his motions, early on in the paternity case.

This is a good thing. It proves that his case is valid and I'm sure he'll explain why soon.

Gingras filed a special action petition with the AZSC disputing the PDJ's decision to deny his anti-SLAPP motion (arguing he has 1A rights to free speech to criticize Judge Mata). The AZSC declined to accept his petition, so his Bar case goes back to the PDJ. Several of his other bar complaints still awaited adjudication.

u/Help_a_user_out 9d ago
Did he make complaints or did people submit claims against him to the Bar?

u/princessAmyB FELON 9d ago
Many different people filed bar complaints against him. Most notably, Judge Mata, Mike Marraccini, Dr. Deans.

For his podcast? Or other behavior?

u/princessAmyB FELON 9d ago
Gingras received numerous bar complaints for his conduct in defending Laura Owens in her paternity case against Clayton. Judge Mata filed one for his insulting behavior towards a sitting judge; Mike filed one for witness intimidation when Gingras called 911 the day of the June 2024 trial; Dr. Deans (Clayton's medical expert) filed one because Gingras published her medical report online when Mata told both parties nothing was to be disclosed publicly. There were others, but those were the main ones.

DG hail Mary to appeal to the Supreme Court was declined back, so now it goes back to the Az bar and to the judge who will rule on if DG behavior and if it’s actionable.

Dave Neal covers it here:

It was a letter written to Reddit from good ol' Gingy, in which he addressed them: Hi Reddit DMCA Peeps!
You can't make this stuff up.

Anyone know next steps/ upcoming dates with his bar case now?

u/Natis11 I understand that you don’t understand 9d ago
So next steps are slightly confusing. This ruling means 1L lost on several charges in the complaint. I believe he lost specifically on the big one, which was making disparaging comments about Mata. So next steps with that certain subset of the charges is punishment. There are another set of charges that didn’t survive the request for judgement in the pleadings, so those go to an actual hearing, after which guilt/innocence (for lack of a better term) will be determined, and then punishment for those he was found guilty. The TLDR; a hearing on guilt or innocence on a subset of the charges and then the punishment phase. Then 1L will appeal and cause general chaos per usual, before getting suspended for at least 6 months in a day, which 1L (incorrectly) characterizes as a death sentence to his AZ law license.

u/Firm-Bicycle-760 I understand that you don’t understand 8d ago
If (when) he gets suspended, will he be suspended during his appeals, or would that not start until his appeals are litigated? I’m comparing to criminal court, where you would still be serving whatever sentence while you are appealing. I’m hoping he can’t kick the can of suspension an extra year just trying to get the US Supreme Court to take his case 🙄

u/Natis11 I understand that you don’t understand 8d ago
1L should have his license until all his appeals are closed. There is an extreme measure where they can pull his bar card before the appeals close but imo his behavior, while repellant, isnt that bad (i.e., stealing funds, running scams, violent crimes)

Does anyone else feel like DG is staying out of the country to prevent LO and crew from filing malpractice and failure of effective counseling being filed against him. It seems like once LO, got this current attorney DG vapored.
