This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

CHILD CUSTODY

Fred Dunsing and his professional staff have exceeded our expectations regarding what could have been a lengthy custody issue. The entire process took us, the grandparents, five months to resolve our legal representation. His firm did not abuse our time or money; they followed all legal procedures... and we met only with Mr. Dunsing twice and once at court in front of the judge. The firm made it less stressful for us and we won our case with flying colors. Mr. Dunsing and his staff are very straightforward, no-nonsense, and thoughtful. We were more than fortunate to have found such a successful and forthright firm to represent us in such a sensitive case, as custodial rights can be difficult to achieve. He made it happen and we feel blessed and relieved. We have hired many different types of attorneys for many issues, in the past, however, none were as professional and understanding as Mr. Dunsing and his staff. They were on top of our needs. We appreciate them very much!!!

Refused to give Magistrate details about domestic violence

Fred refuse to tell the judge about domestic violence, which affected everything negative for me. Fred is weak minded and not a good advocate.

It’s unfortunate that negative reviews can sometimes result from clients who do not understand the limitations of the legal issue before the Court. It is often impossible for attorney to do much about court decisions or occurrences that predate their entry into a case.

Our "go to" Attorney for all our Family Law Needs

Fred is the 3rd (and final) attorney to help us in post-decree divorce issues. I would describe him as "a compassionate bulldog". He is professional, knows his stuff, proficient, and the best family law attorney we have ever worked with!

Very understanding

I have used other lawyers before and felt left in the dark. Mr dunsing does not do that.

Excellent with Divorce

Fred has the knowledge, intelligence, and experience that I needed to get the best outcome for my divorce. It was my first time dealing with a lawyer, and he helped me to understand every part of the process as well as the long-term consequences. Like any lawyer, he's often busy, but I felt like wh...en he was working on my case, he was definitely focused and in touch with what I needed. When medical problems became prominent in my life, Fred was able to help me handle the divorce so that I could take care of myself first and handle as much as possible out of the courtroom. He was truly compassionate in that regard. When you consider this along with the confidence he gave me in my own future, it's easy to see why Fred is a great lawyer and friend during trying times.
