Would highly recommend!

Sommer was appointed to head our arbitration case and was a professional from beginning to end. She is very detailed, thorough, and advocated well on our behalf. She was always available to answer any questions and a pleasure to work with. Would definitely hire Sommer again for any future legal nee...ds.

Personal review of Soimmer's work on my behalf. She was appointed as my counsel by Steve Todd regarding a lawsuit.

Sommer was a professional throughout this ordeal. She understood how devasting a lawsuit can be to a defendant and provided the perfect balance of reassurance, optimism and caution. She was quick to respond to my questions and when she was unsure she always asked for time to research to be sure. S...he was a pleasure to work with and was well prepared at all times. The lawsuit was settled favorably and I am grateful for her hard work and professional manner.

extremely competent, professional and highly recommended

I am a developer who has been sued two seperate times by condo associations. Sommer Dykema was my defense attorney in both cases. She is unbelievably capable, professional and diligent. She is the best representation I have ever had in any case. I highly recommend her and the firm she is with. (T...odd and Wakefield)

  • 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.
