Review Garlinck Dumont

Supportive, understanding, sharp, and communicative!

Posted by ZoraidaWed Mar 13 2019

Attorney Dumont was hired to help me with post-divorce custody and child support battle. She took the time to understand my concerns and the details of my case. She was passionate about helping me and my family, and always had my child's best interest in mind, like he was her own. She showed care and concern, was professional, tactful, and personable throughout an extensive (and painful) 7 month long court process. I am very grateful for all of Attorney Dumont's efforts on my case. Her strength, attention to detail, empathy, communication skills, and no nonsense was inspiring to say the least. I will continue to refer her to others in need of a great family attorney.

Worst Attorney I’ve Ever Worked With!!

Posted by anonymousMon Oct 22 2018

Ms. Dumont did NO work on my case! No research that she stated her office “loved to sink their teeth into!” I would call and ask when we were going to discuss matters and she would constantly put me off, telling me we “still had two more weeks til court!” This was a very complex case with an abusive ex and equally abusive attorney! She incorrectly filed motions! And when I finally told her I was sick of the lack of communication (I’m out of state which makes everything much harder!) she announced she was quitting! I said fine and told her not to do ANYTHING ELSE with my case and that I wanted my retainer back since nothing had been done. She agreed, filed a motion to be heard at the day of the hearing to be dismissed—meaning we all had to be there(!) and that’s when I learn she requested documents from my ex!! Including things we didn’t even need because I ALREADY HAD THEM!! This woman should NOT BE an attorney! She was constantly rude, uncommunicative and totally failed to do her job! Yes, I am also notifying the bar association!

Carmina Hirsch, Divorce and separation Attorney on Nov 18, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Attorney Dumont is a thorough, detail oriented, creative, intelligent, and zealous advocate for every matter she takes on. I had the pleasure of meeting Attorney Dumont through the Connecticut Bar Association's Young Lawyers Section, where she maintains a committee leadership role, in addition to leadership roles in other organizations, and was immediately impressed with her genuine nature and professionalism. Since that time we have worked on several matters together, all of which turn out successfully for all parties involved. I wholeheartedly endorse Attorney Dumont and her firm.
