He is a Florida Supreme Court Certified Circuit Civil Mediator, Florida Supreme Court Qualified Arbitrator, and Florida licensed title agent.

Dunn recently concluded the 2022-23 term as president of the Bankruptcy Bar Association of the Southern District of Florida, during which time he launched a law student summer scholar program and helped revitalize and expand the BBA’s financial literacy and community outreach programming, after having served in elevating roles on the BBA’s executive board for the last six years. He currently co-chairs the UCC 12 Secured Digital Assets Task Force for the Florida Bar’s Business Law Section and was selected as a Business Law Section Fellow for the 2021-23 term. Listed as a “Rising Star” in 2021 and 2022 and as a Super Lawyer in 2023 by Florida Super Lawyers, he is a frequent speaker and has been published on a variety of topics, including bankruptcy and insolvency, real estate, cryptocurrency, blockchain, NFTs and NFT fraud.
