From the time I hired Attorney Dumont and through the preliminary stages to the final award, she was caring, thorough, professional and supportive. She helped me get a restraining order in a domestic violence case. It was a complicated and upsetting situation and she was empathetic and emotionally reassuring. I was hesitant to spend money for an attorney because I was on a tight budget and was already spending a lot of money on other things such as an alarm system etc to feel safe. Also, my father was helping me as he had studied law so we questioned if it was necessary to have an attorney. I was very happy with our decision to hire her. She was generous with her time and she and her assistant were always readily available to help me. Attorney Dumont is experienced and knowledgeable. She made it a smooth process by helping me know exactly what to expect and by building a solid case. It is obvious Attorney Dumont puts her heart in her work and cares greatly about the work she is doing and the people with whom she is working. I am happy to have found an attorney who I feel ‘has my back’. I am glad to have her as my attorney for any legal needs I may have in the future.
Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Attorney Dumont is an excellent lawyer. She knows the law in the areas she practices better than any attorney I have ever worked with in over 70 years. She wins a very high percentage of her cases and is responsive to her clients throughout.

Very Pleased
I hired Ms. Dumont in a time that looked daunting to my family and I. You can never be sure of your outcome when entering a situation you’ve never experienced before. From our first conversation I knew I selected the right law firm to represent me. She articulated her self in manner that was simple, yet stern and straight forward. Her understanding of family law was second to none, she took the time to explain different strategies and scenarios that helped me understand my options throughout family court. Furthermore, not only did she have a great understanding of the law, but her relationships at the court house were also a sign of respect from her professional peers. Having said that, through a long 7 month process the court appealed in our favor. Overall, anybody that is in need of legal representation, Dumont Law has a winning track record and will do what is in the best interest of her clients.

Attorney Dumont is very professional and thoughtful. I appreciate her attention to detail and glad I retained her for legal counsel in my divorce. No divorce is an easy one however she made sure to keep me informed and updated throughout the process. I am honored to give her this review as it is necessary to share great customer service with others. I received that from Attorney Dumont.

Supportive, understanding, sharp, and communicative!
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.

Best Attorney I've Worked With
We hired Attorney Dumont for a child support case. The rest of the case regarding custody and other matters had already been settled. Even though this was a small and clear cut matter, Attorney Dumont was fully invested in representing our interests. In meeting with her, she asked concise, relevant questions to gain understanding of the case which involved working across state lines. She was professional and knowledgeable while also warm and empathetic. When it came time to go to court, Attorney Dumont was well prepared, laying out five different scenarios to the other party. This preparation helped get us the best possible outcome in our situation. Attorney Dumont sent detailed billing statements each month explaining charges which I really appreciated. If we have another family law matter, we will without hesitation be contacting Attorney Dumont. I'd highly recommend anyone do the same.

Divorce
I hired Attorney Dumont to represent me in my divorce. She was aware how hard this process was for me from an emotional perspective. She was not only professional in all correspondence, but she was also warm and clearly concerned about my well being while making sure to look out for my best interest. I would definitely consult with her again for any legal matter.

See Attorney Dumont when in need of legal services, you will not be disappointed.
I hired attorney Dumont to assist me with some estate planning. She provided me with superb legal advice, acquired and executed the necessary legal documents in an efficient and timely manner. Her legal knowledge, flexibility, and dedication to her clients is unsurpassed. Many clients do online research and come with preconceived notions of what they think that need, but what sets attorney Dumont apart from her peers, she provides her clients legal advice and services base on her thorough assessment of the clients needs. She educates the clients throughout the process and does not provide unnecessary services and ultimately minimize her clients' legal fees. I highly recommend Attorney Dumont to anyone in needs of legal advice and or services, you will not disappointed.

Worst Attorney I’ve Ever Worked With!!
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!

"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."
