Reviews

Chris and his Law Firm were instrumental in my wife and I getting our estate in order. He and his staff are knowledgable, professional and dealt with us in a most sincere way. As we've gotten older we are looking to update our plan, giving us peace of mind as we near retirement. I heartily recommend his services to others.
Chris has handled our estate for over 15 years and both of my parents are now passed. The structure he placed us under proved to be worthy and we experienced no difficulties. It helped maintain family peace and provided a vehicle for the heirs to wind up with what they wanted. The continuing business of the farm and families involved is with him and we are very satisfied. I am comfortable to refer him and his firm to all.
Mr. Dumm prepared estate planning documents for my wife and me several years ago, & they were adequate. When we needed important updates made to these documents, nearly 3 months passed with no results or progress reports, apparently because there was no progress to report. The updates are very important, but the work to make the changes would've required only a few minutes editing work by a paralegal or office assistant. Even when I told them outright that my confidence in them was waning due to their delays and lack of response, the matter didn't receive prompt attention from them. I am left to conclude that this office is only interested in performing services that have a large fee and not as interested in ongoing customer needs. EDIT: This was not left in error. I am in your firm's database. The words, "we truly care" are easy to type, but that was not manifested by the gross lack of service I received. I found what I needed elsewhere.
Chris and his team have been IMMENSELY helpful through the years. When my husband Jim died, Chris went above and beyond professional - he was a friend who helped me conquer my large list of unknowns. And in the years since, he's helped with many issues - from realty to disaster advice to drafting my will. I highly recommend the services of The Law Firm of CW Dumm!
We have been clients for 18 years. We are known by our name, not a number. The staff is efficient and friendly. Our records are updated annually. Seminars and newsletters are provided without cost. And, from time to time, Chris manages to even tell a good joke!
