Extended service after contract was finalized

Excellent service, I had Sean help me with my Dental office acquisition, he was very thorough with all the process and even after closing helped me with my questions. Recommended to all Dentists buying or selling their offices

Excellent attorney

I worked with Sean many years ago and was completely satisfied with the family Trust he created for me. He was easy to reach and available throughout the process. Years later I found myself in an unfortunate situation with a relative contesting a foundational portion of the trust. Sean was calle...d to testify at trial and his professionalism and ethical recall of the prior work was noted by the Judge and I am confident contributed to the positive outcome of the final judgement. This was a true test of making the right choice in an attorney!

Job Well Done

Sean helped me with the purchase of my first dental practice. He was very informative and helpful during the process. I believe my acquisition was a little more complex than average but he was thorough and helpful throughout. I would definitely recommend Sean, good guy and fun to work with.

General Dentist

Sean did a great job of helping me establish my S-corp and review my associate contracts. He kindly guided me through the process and ensured I felt comfortable. I would recommended him to any dentist look for a lawyer.

We could not have done this deal without him

Mr. Dumm came highly rated and respected. I highly recommend Mr. Dumm to any dentist looking to purchase a dental practice. He will look out for your best interest. We appreciate his hard work and knowledge and looking out for our best interest. It’s important to consult with a lawyer before plac...ing an offer on a practice. Mr Dumm always answers the phone himself. He spends a lot of time on the lease and purchase agreement and understands dental practice purchases.
