John M. Dowd, the new criminal-defense lawyer for Galleon Group hedge fund founder Raj Rajaratnam, made his reputation outside the courtroom as much as in it.
In more than 30 years as a lawyer, Dowd, 68, has represented U.S. Senator John McCain in an ethics investigation, ex-Justice Department aide Monica Goodling in a federal probe and former Arizona Governor Fife Symington in a bank fraud trial. His 225-page report for Major League Baseball in 1989 pointed to 412 instances in which Pete Rose bet on games, leading the sport to banish its career hits leader.
