    Griffin Dunham is an excellent business litigator and corporate bankruptcy attorney. He is an oustanding advocate for his clients while still maintaining the highest level of ethics in his practice. Griffin is at the top of his field and is often asked to speak to other attorneys regarding his areas of expertise. I recommend him highly.

    I endorse this lawyer. Griffin is a very knowledgeable, experienced, and personable attorney. A consummate professional, he takes time to educate his clients and fellow attorneys on Chapter 11 bankruptcy and business litigation matters. He proficiently examines issues and carefully assesses possible solutions for his clients.

    Thomas Shumate, Litigation Attorney on Jun 8, 2013
    Relationship: Worked together on matter

    Griffin and I defended a case filed in federal court. He did a great job for his client. I was impressed with his attention to detail, knowledge of the law, and the zealous manner in which he represented his client. As co-counsel, I found him to be reasonable and easy to work with, which is fairly uncommon these days. I highly recommend him and would refer my clients to him if they were in need of his services.
