Gilion Dumas


She obtained a $4.5 million judgment for a young woman molested as a child. Her victory in a property easement case against the city of Portland was upheld by the Oregon Court of Appeals. And she successfully prosecuted a trade secret claim on behalf of a privately owned company. Who is she? Meet Gilion Dumas, a partner with O’Donnell Clark & Crew LLP with substantial experience in commercial, real estate and tort litigation.
