An excellent professional to help sell your dental office

Sean was a great help in all aspects of our sales transaction. Right from the start he smoothly guided us through each step of all the negotiations, contracts and legal aspects. He was accessible and quick to return our calls. He was always focused and calm during the tough negotiations with the buye...rs. Sean will be my choice in any future business transactions.

My dental attorney

Sean Dumm exemplifies what a dental attorney should be- experienced, easy to talk to, knows the dental field and just plain sharp about law in dentistry. He helped me all the way from being an associate reviewing contracts and agreements to the big stuff with my first practice acquisition. I was so c...onfident when he reached out to landlords and other attorneys knowing that he has my best interest in mind and knew what to do at all times. I fully recommend him and continue to retain him as my attorney.

My review of J. Sean Dumm

Dependable, knowledgeable, a real professional and trustworthy are the qualities that make a good lawyer. Sean has all these and more! As a dentist, I knew I needed someone specifically familiar with the dental practice law to help me. Not only did he keep me well informed every step of the way, h...e also promptly and diligently responded to all my queries. I am very satisfied with the services he provided me and very highly recommend him. Excellent choice!

Finally! An attorney who actually gets dentists!

Sean is truly a notch above excellent. Reasonable fees, quick response time, rock solid legal advice and contracts. I had Sean work up my legal documents when I bought my practice as well as when I needed to hire an associate for maternity leave. Both times he made the experience enjoyable. Can you b...elieve it? I was confident in his abilities and trusted that he wouldn't complicate things just to make a little more money off me. I had an attorney before Sean that just threw a generic contract at me and told me to sign it then wanted to charge me to change a name in the document when I hired a different associate! I was so relieved when I hired Sean and he asked me questions about my personal situation and catered my contract to it. Plus, he's witty and charming!

Dental Practice acquisition and partnership arrangement

Sean was extremely knowledgeable and helped us acquire the dental practice without any difficulties. He was very good at explaining every process in detail. He was always quick to respond to all of our questions in a timely manner. What was best was that he has followed up with us even after we ac...quired the practice, to see how our office has been doing. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is going through a dental practice acquisition as he really understands the specifics involved in every step. He goes out of his way to make sure that you are fully informed and know exactly what you are getting into. Thank you Sean for

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
