This unique experience enabled Attorney Dunham to acquire an immense understanding of criminal law and the trial process, and he then used these invaluable skills to provide exceptional representation to clients in the realm of civil practice. Mr. Dunham was able to apply his trial experience as co-counsel in a number of personal injury cases, including a multimillion dollar trial involving a tractor-trailer. Although Mr. Dunham now focuses his practice primarily on criminal defense and family law, above all he considers himself to be a trial attorney. He believes that the real work of an attorney is not done from behind a desk, but rather in the real world of the courtroom. In light of this belief, Mr. Dunham does not choose cases simply because of the laws and circumstances involved but instead based on his clients' needs for strong and proven trial strategy. Attorney Dunham's successes can be attributed to his powerful combination of courtroom experience and extensive knowledge of the law. He has dozens of trials under his belt, including first-degree life felony cases, family law trials involving significant assets, and complex personal injury trials.
