Shockingly Negative Experience

Disorganized, forgetful, does not write important information down during consultation. Didn't have a file on me for any of the documents I sent after 4 months -- he had trouble finding my documents. Dresses very messy looks unkept pants hanging off his butt like a bum, same adidas sweatpants 4 t...imes in a row with adidas shoes that look like a dog tried to eat them. Comes off like a stoner. He lost my case because he didn't think to ask me for receipts to show the judge. Doesn't like to look up case law, he just says he doesn't know the answer. Then I have to beg him to look into it. The home office is a mess carpet is filthy with soda bottles and old food crumbs from fast food laying around. Not helpful. Just tells you what you want to hear. I think he's just scraping by somehow I don't understand how he has gotten by practicing law. Office stinks like cigarettes. I wouldn't go to him for any advice ever again even for free, better off searching google yourself and save the frustrations and money. He is a good liar too, just tells you what you want to hear to take your money. I just noticed he hasnt had any reviews since 2016. What's that about??

Alway there for you

Alex was always availabe whenever I needed him. He is extremely dedicated and hard working. His experience, knowledge and contacts give him an advantage when faced with tough challenges within the court system. He keeps you informed and explains everything to you so you understand what is happenin...g every step of the way. Wihout Alex I would not have been able to get through such a tough time. Words cannot explain how valuable Alex and Densie are during legal issues. They treat you with kindness and respect and want what is best for you. I cannot thank them enough for making me feel like I mattered and keeping me strong enough to fight what seemed insurmountable at the time. They never give up!

Office of Children and Family Services

If you need an attorney to fight Rensselaer County Child Welfare Dept., contact him or his associate . The system was abusive in pursuing me, with faults evidence and allegations. He represented me at a hearing and got my name cleared . So if you're accused of child abuse and you need representa...tion , do yourself a favor and contact Mr. Alex Dunshee

Family Court Nightmare

Tobin &Dunshee are by far the hardest working team of professionals I've ever met. Alex I'd very dedicated in his work and will go above and beyond for his clients. I have one the most complicated and frustrating family court cases probably going and a lot of times I wanted to give up but thank God f...or Alex and his partner Denise for not letting me do that. Alex has worked so hard on my case and I'm ever so greatful for finding him and having him on my side thru all this. Best Family lawyer I know!

I would have nothing if it was not for Alex!

Words could never express how amazing Alex was for me and my family! Alex worked so many hours for my even off the clock just to make sure I would win my kids in the end! Alex is a ever smart with a lot of knowledge of family court in NY. Alex has a lot of connection and was able to help me win my ki...ds back from the father. I would highly recommend Alex and his team to anyone!!!

Christopher Curley

Criminal defense lawyer | Mar 18

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. While I know Mr. Dunshee practices primarily family and matrimonial law, I know him from when I was a prosecutor and he was representing people accused of crimes. Mr. Dunshee was always professional and courteous, and represented his clients zealously. Mr. Dunshee's knowledge of both the New York Penal Law and Criminal Procedure Law was impressive, and resulted in many excellent resolutions for his clients. If you have any criminal matters, you would be hard-pressed to find a lawyer who would advocate better on your behalf. Highly recommended."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I've had the pleasure of knowing and collaborating with Alex for over 9 years. First as fellow class-mates in law school and now as fellow attorneys in the Capital Region. Alex is my go-to lawyer for Divorce / Separation / Family law matters when they arise for my own business clients and friends. I know that when I send a client to Alex, they are going to get superior representation at a great value. Alex is a fierce advocate, brilliant strategist and effective counselor. I endorse him without reservation."
