“I don’t usually write reviews but I felt the need to leave one in this case. Clarke Dummit represented me in two separate cases, and I have no doubt that the outcome was the best possible solution that could have been reached. I always had direct communication with Clarke himself which is certainly not the experience I’ve had with any other attorneys in his field. If I ever had a question for him or the team I would have an immediate response within an hour or two. I knew I was in very capable hands from the initial meeting I had with him and the team. Clarke has gone above and beyond what was expected to take care of me and my case! Don’t look any further. You have your man!”
