Biography
On June 10, Coronado resident Dwight Ritter will be inducted into the San Diego Trial Lawyers Hall of Fame. The annual recognition honors one trial lawyer each year. Ritter will become the 26th attorney inducted into the Hall of Fame.
“Being named to the Hall of Fame is humbling. This is especially true in San Diego because, for some unknown reason, San Diego has been known over the past 50 years for its highly skilled trial lawyers. Many of them are among the best trial lawyers in California, which correspondingly means we have some of the best trial lawyers in the nation,” shared Ritter.
“Each inductee has experienced both winning and losing as a fundamental part of a true trial lawyer’s career. However, a truly successful career is not about winning and losing, but whether you did your best and fought your hardest for the people you represent in their pursuit of justice,” he added.
Ritter and his wife, Nellie, are residents of the Coronado Cays, where they are raising their five sons. They are active in the community, including the Coronado Unified School District, Sacred Heart Parish, and in many youth sports.
Ritter has practiced as a trial lawyer since 1976 and has tried cases in numerous jurisdictions. His practice has focused on representing individuals who have been hurt, injured, or killed as a result of wrongful conduct, negligence, or constitutional misconduct.
