I have known and worked with Terry Dunmire for years- decades, in fact. As a sole practitioner, he has tremendous experience in many areas of the law, including family, real estate and commercial law and litigation. Terry is a thoughtful and persevering lawyer who thinks through strategy and diligently prosecutes client matters. Among other matter, I retained Terry to structure the ownership and management of a real estate rental project. The work was done quickly and economically, with no trailing legal issues. Terry has flexible fee and compensation arrangements available for his clients. His services are very reasonably priced.
Every time we went to court, my ex had to pay 90% of atty fees. I had given Dunmire a retainer of $5,000 and after deducting the 10% of court and atty fees owed, I not only did not get a refund from the monies left over from the retainer, I received a bill for thousands more. In the end, I lost 9 years spousal support totally over $300,000 and he never even had the ethics to tell me. Do NOT hire this guy, you are in for nothing but heartache and Trouble.
Terry handled a contract dispute and counterclaim for my partner and I in 1999. It was a frivolous business sale contract/breach/fee for services suit. The original claim was based on the fact that I had invested in an llc that was under contract for sale and that investment constituted a sale and therefore a broker fee was due the listing agent. Pretty straightforward up til this point right? The plaintiff's attorney and the broker had been strong arming people in this manner for years. That is they would sue for fees even if no actual sale ever occurred. They had a horrible reputation and my partner wanted to hurt them. My partner was advised that they would settle for 25k, I offered to pay just to make this go away. But Terry told him that he could counter sue based on damages arising out of the original suit. He said that we had a case against the plaintiff because were not able to re-sell our business in a timely manner, it was a night club and we had a buyer who backed out because of the pending litigation. Terry convinced my partner that he could win huge, upwards of a half a million dollars, I remained very skeptical. Once we arrived in court however Terry's case was systematically dismissed piece by piece. Not by the arguments of the plaintiff's attorney, but by the judge!!. Finally the judge started to insult Terry, questioned where if ever he had studied. The spectators and witnesses were all laughing. Years later when Terry finally brought his fee dispute with me to arbitration the court reporter claimed that she still remembered the case because of all the laughing and said it was the worst she had seen in her 35 yr career. What could make this worse? After the judge had dismissed both sides cases against the other was the fees. Not only were they outrageous, nearly 90k, but under the manner the judge ruled Terry could have filed for re-reimbursement from the plaintiff but didn't!!!!! Yes you read that right. Terry continued to hound me for years, 8 yrs., before he finally got a lien on my property out of state. I had to pay Terry 20k to sell my home.
