Stephen’s dedication to his clients surpassed all of our expectations. As a former Marine he understood our special circumstances of being overseas. He bent over backwards to ensure that we were well represented and informed despite us living overseas.

His relentless pursuit of justice led to us receiving the full judgement.
Mr. Dummer was very professional when he handled my case. He took the time to explain the law to me, and answered all of the questions I had. He kept me abreast of all negotiations during the 10 months. He spent quite a bit of time with me going over the preliminaries of my case. Although my case was a wrongful termination case sponsored by the AFT, he always allowed me the time I needed to feel better about my case. He is a man of integrity.
Stephen Dummer was amazingly thorough in covering the issues so that the opposing counsel could not get around the major issues. He was very careful to cover all of the issues.

Stephen was always several steps ahead of opposing counsel, and did an excellent job of explaining to the judge and to us the law as it pertained to our case with several pertinent cases similar to ours. When we needed advice, he always took the time to advise us on how to win, and what to do. We, with his assistance concluded years of litigation that was complex and difficult, but we persisted and we won. Thanks to his dedication and determination we are now out of the litigation.
