Judge Dawson has practiced law in Ohio since the year 2000. As an attorney he defended clients in State, Federal and the Courts of Appeals. His passion for defending and educating the community lead to his self published book “The Legal Matrix” and his second book “99 Problems... How Your Failures, Flops & Flaws Lead to Your Greatness.”His latest book "The Cycle Breaker" is a tale of redemption through power of isolation and knowledge. In addition to writing, Judge Dawson creates & conducts probation programs and educational seminars for community members and youth. Judge Dawson believes the best way to avoid negative interaction with the legal system is by beginning with the end in mind - or, as he has coined it, “Finishing First.”
