In November 2018, the New Mexico Supreme Court suspended prominent Portales lawyer Eric Dixon from the practice of law for at least nine months.
Yesterday, the Court issued a unanimous opinion explaining its decision. The Court stated that Mr. Dixon made false statements to a state district court and breached his duty of competence in representing a client. An aggravating circumstance was that Mr. Dixon had previously been censured for driving his car at a state district court judge.
