They ruined my life!

Got coaxed to switching to them during a second opinion interview. It will be too long to describe how this discombobulated band of young attorneys managed in six short months of representation to screw up every single aspect of my case and cause me to lose the kids the houses and 100s of thousands, ...through no fault of my own. DO NOT HIRE THEM !!!

Find a different attorney

Anthony Dunne and Dunne & Dunne, LLP are horrible. In my case, they were ordered by the judge to write up our judgement after our 2-day trial in July 2017. It’s now 7 months later, they have a copy of transcripts from the hearing; yet, even a draft of judgement has not been submitted. I have racked u...p over $20,000 for the 2-day trial and have no orders for our records. They have ignored emails and phone calls requesting a status update for the judgement. This has caused much confusion with our parenting schedule and child support. I highly recommend finding an attorney who is actually dedicated to their clients.

BEWARE

BEWARE OF THIS ATTORNEY. I HIRED HIM FOR A VERY COMPLICATED DIVORCE PRECEDING AS IT WAS VERY CLEAR THAT IT WAS NOT GOING TO SETTLE IN MEDIATION. I MET WITH TONY DUNNE AND EXPLAINED THAT THIS WOULD REQUIRE A SKILLED AND PREPARED LITIGATION ATTORNEY AS WE WOULD BE GOING TO A TRIAL. HE TOOK THE CASE AND... MY $20,000 AND THEN DID NOT RETURN ANY CALLS, DID NOT CALL ANY WITNESSES,DID NOT PREPARE FOR THE TRAIL,AND THEN SHOWED UP FOR COURT A HALF HOUR LATE ON THE DAY OF TRIAL UNPREPARED, NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS HEARING DID NOT GO IN MY FAVOR AS MR.DUNNE DID NOT PRESENT CRITICAL INFORMATION TO THE JUDGE WHICH WAS IMPERATIVE IN THIS CASE.THIS CASE COST ME OVER $750,000 IN ASSETS. ALL BECAUSE HE DID NOT TAKE THE TIME TO PREPARE. TRUST ME GO ELSEWHERE!

Horrible Legal Firm

Horrible legal experience. I chose Anthony Dunne to represent me in what he said was a simple divorce. I paid the retainer fee and he said I'd probably have a refund after because this was a simple case. Less then a week after I hired Anthony to represent me, another junior associate called and infor...med me that they were going to be my representation going forward. Never heard from Anthony after this. Also, I'm a year into the divorce and it's still not over and my legal cost are over 3 times what they said they would be. I've asked 5 times in the last month for my billable hours and no response. I've since fired them and decided to go with a competent legal firm.

Great people.

When I first me MR. Dunne, I was on my way to see MR. Smith. Tony Dunne made me feel welcomed into his office, where I got to know about him, and him about me. Thank you for keeping my case on going. Even though he is not my attorney, I know that if I have any questions or concerns, he will be right ...there jelping me out.
