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.

Professional and responsive attorney

After calling another attorney first whose first available appointment was 5 days later, Alex met with me the same day I called him and less than 10 days until my court date. He was genuinely caring, accessible, and highly responsive at all times. He was able to negotiate a very favorable outcome... for me in criminal court. The entire situation was nerve wracking but Alex navigated through the process smoothly and was reassuring the whole time. I greatly appreciate his services and would highly recommend him to anyone needing a criminal lawyer in the Capital Region.

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.

Knowledgeable, Experienced, Trustworthy and Tough

Mr. Shmulsky is very professional, personable and illustrates his extensive understanding of the law in his field. He is very strong minded, confident, and aggressive when needed. Due to this, I have hired him multiple times for services. He was very genuine and approachable during my first consultat...ion. I just separated and was not sure the best plan of action. He met with me immediately to review the best plan of action and helped me begin the divorce process. His overall approach and empathy assured me that I was well cared for. This was important at the time due to my emotional state. He was always readily available for any questions or concerns I had. He was aggressive in making my divorce a quick and somewhat painless process. I hired him a second time to assist with a case in family court matters. Again, he was very organized, aggressive, and attentive. I loved how easy it was to get in contact with him to get updates on the case. He is always friendly during any communication. If I need a lawyer again, I will most definitely reach out to Mr. Shmulsky. I highly recommend him for any legal needs in his areas of expertise.

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.
