Wayne Rohde

DCCA Opinion (August 30, 2018)

Summary: The D.C. Court of Appeals suspended Rohde for two years with a requirement to prove his fitness to practice as a condition of reinstatement, and that the suspension be stayed in favor of a three-year period of supervised probation, on the conditions that he (1) not commit any other disciplinary rule violations; (2) maintain his sobriety; (3) be subject to sobriety monitoring; (4) meet as frequently as necessary to maintain his sobriety with a representative of the D.C. Bar Lawyer Assistance Program; and (5) attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings as often as he, his LAP representative, and other involved experts deem necessary. Rohde fled the scene following his head-on collision with another vehicle and, thereafter, pleaded guilty to felony hit and run, in violation of Code of Virginia § 46.2-894. One judge concurred but wrote separately because he did not agree with the court’s analysis of the question whether Rohde’s conviction involved moral turpitude on the facts. Rule 8.4(b).
