About Dustin Moaven
Dustin Moaven is an associate attorney at Dordick Law Corporation who moved to plaintiff-side personal injury, premises liability, and civil rights work after years litigating complex commercial disputes on behalf of large corporations. A survivor of a serious accident caused by another person's negligence, he brings firsthand understanding of what injury victims experience and makes their health and well-being his priority. During his time at the firm he has obtained more than $150 million in verdicts, awards, and settlements for his clients. He served as second chair to Gary Dordick in the trial against Alkiviades David that produced a $900 million jury verdict for a sexual assault victim in 2024, and his other results include a $10 million settlement for a tenant who suffered burn injuries in a fire, a $9 million settlement for two children struck by a train, a $6 million settlement for a young woman injured in a serious car crash, and a $5 million recovery for a victim of police brutality. Super Lawyers has selected him to its Rising Stars list every year from 2023 through 2027.
Proven verdicts and settlements
On June 17, 2024, a Los Angeles Superior Court jury unanimously awarded $900 million, $100 million compensatory and $800 million punitive, to a former employee of Alkiviades "Alki" David's companies who was sexually harassed and raped by him between 2016 and 2019. Liability had already been established before trial, so the jury sat only on damages, and the defense table was empty. In September 2024 the trial judge ruled that the award shocked the conscience and conditionally granted a new trial unless the plaintiff accepted $90 million, $10 million compensatory plus $80 million punitive. David filed a notice of appeal at the end of September 2024 and has said publicly that none of the women who have won verdicts against him will ever be paid.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and depends on its own facts.
