Posted by anonymous | September 06, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

An excellent Public Defender

Mr Dubinsky is doing as excellent job in defending me in a wrongful domestic incident case. He made an excellent case before Judge and succeeded in having order of protection largely modified. He always returns my calls on a prompt basis which is very much appreciated

Great Communication, Professional and Thorough

I am very pleased to recommend the services of Melvin Dubinsky. I was very disappointed when I found out that my out of state license was in fact suspended in New York City due to unpaid tickets. I was nervous, scared and confused. Attorney Dubinsky was very communicative and resilient in proving t...he falseness of the State's claims. By my third court appearance, all charges were dismissed due to Attorney Dubinsky's findings. Thank you so much! F. Mickens Musician & Educator

Sample of Legal Cases

Brown v. City of New York

City's settlement offer before trial was $ 200K. After my use of visual proof and summations the offer went up to $ 550K, which we accepted. This case was featured in New York Magazine for the $-recovery that was obtained in an intentional tort case.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
