An attorney that will tell your story and not just defend you

After making an extremely poor decision and getting charged with a DWI, I was terrified of what it all would mean for my job and my family. I was fortunate enough to find Alex by reading his previous reviews. He met me early the next day and was honest about what the possible results of my case could... be. He was genuinely concerned about my situation and helped put my mind at ease at every turn. I'm happy to say that through his hard work the justice system really looked at my complete story and not just the terrible mistake on my part and the end results were much better than expected. Alex is very familiar with many municipalities in the Adirondacks and I was always comfortable with how he represented me. At each step in the process I was left thinking that I really had someone who knew what he was doing standing in mine and my family's corner. If you find yourself in a similar situation, don't waste time shopping around; call Alex and get him working for you.

DUI Arrest..#3!

I hired Alex after seeing his reviews and I needed to go all in on a lawyer after being arrested for what would have been my third DUI which is a felony and would destroy the life that I’ve built with my family. Brian was sympathetic to my needs, he’s obviously very veteran friendly, a bit on the ...expensive side but you know what it was well worth it. Alex was very eager to take the case and quite confident that we were going to get the deal that we wanted or the case dismissed entirely. I even told him that if I could go to veterans Court that would be preferred, but he reassured me that it wouldn’t be necessary. That he wasn’t going to settle for anything less than the outcome that we wanted. Needless to say at the end of it I was basically given a traffic ticket. We have avoided a trial, and I even was giving my license back after three months when it should’ve been suspended for one full year for denying a breathalyzer. I don’t know how he did it, is definitely a smooth talker for sure. He was also pretty decent and making my mind focus on other things as we discussed basic life events etc. If you hire him, just know ahead of time that he thinks before he responds to anything. Sometimes it may feel like an awkward pause but he is simply formulating a well spoken statement. That’s the kind of guy you need to hire not somebody that’s just shooting words out of their mouth. Alex is calculated and even if my case going to trial I think he would’ve destroyed the prosecution. If you hire him, just know ahead of time that he thinks before he responds to anything.

Alex did great work, he was kind, sympathetic, and very reassuring That I wouldn’t be leaving the state without being OK. Alex thank you very much for all you’ve done for me, your staff was really great as well, and anybody who is looking to hire a lawyer I definitely recommend this firm. If it’s too much for you then they can work with payment plans, just don’t get it really cheap lawyer. You get what you pay for and I most certainly got the results that I paid for with a lawyer that went above and beyond

The best

Alex is an extremely professional, thorough and dependable lawyer. When I first got charged with a DWI, I had no idea what to do. I am truly grateful that I found Alex and that he represented me. Upon our first meeting, I immediately felt at ease that I was in good hands. He was honest, supportive an...d reassuring during the process and made himself available to answer any questions I had. Alex ultimately was able to get my DWI charge significant reduced to a reckless driving charge with no suspension of my license. I couldn’t thank him enough for negotiating such a favorable result. Alex is an outstanding lawyer - anyone who is lucky enough to work with him knows that.

Family Court

Not only did Alex Schmulsky get my family everything we desired in our family court case, but he facilitated conversations with the other party with ease. Alex has always been available for our family at any time and professional within the court room. He explains each detail to us and remains posit...ive with his clients.

Alex was fantastic in his assistance with my house closing. He was extremely responsive to any and all inquiries I had and was detailed in his explanations. The closing went through flawlessly. I highly recommend Alex when seeking a real estate attorney.
