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??

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

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!!!

Proactive & transparent, Alex gave me a positive experience

After a traffic infraction, Alex was there to help guide me through the process of negotiating with authorities. What could have been a very confusing process was laid out in terms I could understand, and he was able to ease my mind during a fairly stressful encounter. In the end, he was able to redu...ce the infraction, ultimately saving my driving record. I appreciated his understanding of the situation, and the fact that, while he did not sugar coat, he was realistic about outcomes and very compassionate about it. He was also very upfront about the process. He went out of his way to follow up several times throughout everything, and I appreciated his work on my case. Would highly recommend to anyone in similar circumstances.

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."

"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."
