On Monday, October 27, 2025, the Presiding Disciplinary Judge of the Supreme Court of Arizona suspended Attorney David R. Jordan, Bar No. 013891, for six months and one day, according to a Final Judgment and Order. This action follows an Agreement for Discipline by Consent.

The case is entitled “In the Matter of David R. Jordan,” with case no. PDJ 2025-9044.

The disciplinary measures stem from violations of the Arizona Rules of Professional Conduct and Rules of the Supreme Court of Arizona, detailed within the Agreement documents.

Jordan conditionally admitted to violating multiple rules, including Rule 72 regarding failure to provide notice, and Rule 42, specifically Ethical Rules 1.1 (failure to provide competent representation), 1.3 (failure to act with reasonable diligence and promptness), 1.4 (failure to provide reasonable communication), 1.5 (failure to charge a reasonable fee and/or expense, communicate the scope of representation, or enter into a reasonable fee agreement), 1.16(d) (failure to take reasonable steps on behalf of the client after termination), 8.4(c) (engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation), and 8.4(d) (engaging in conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice).

The ethical issues arose from Jordan’s representation of clients in an Equal Employment Opportunity Commissioner (EEOC) claim and a separate civil matter. His failure to file the EEOC claim before the statute of limitations expired resulted in the permanent loss of his client’s legal right to file a claim. Lack of diligence in the civil case led to a dismissal with prejudice, also causing a permanent loss of his client’s legal rights. Furthermore, Jordan engaged in misrepresentations and avoidance towards his clients and failed to comply with notification requirements related to an upcoming reciprocal suspension.

In addition to the suspension, Jordan is ordered to pay $4,120.00 in restitution to Genneil Tsinnijinnie within 30 days of the order. He must also pay $1,200.00 to cover the costs and expenses of the State Bar of Arizona within the same timeframe.

The Disposition states:

“IT IS ORDERED that DAVID R. JORDAN, Bar No. 013891, is Suspended for six (6) months and one (1) day, for his conduct in violation of the Arizona Rules of Professional Conduct and Rules of the Supreme Court of Arizona, as set forth in the Agreement documents.”

According to Martindale.com, Mr. Jordan attended Arizona State University, graduating in 1991. He acquired his law license in Arizona in the same year.
