I have been a practicing attorney in the State of New York for over 42 years. During that time, I have had the privilege to know many great attorneys, as well as employ and train dozens of attorneys in various capacities. I have also needed, at times, to retain the services of attorneys for business or personal matters.
During a very difficult time in my life, April Dalbec, Esq., served as my attorney. She provided extremely capable counsel. I witnessed, first hand, her ability to coordinate and work with other attorneys in complex matters. She provided excellent guidance in an emotionally-charged situation and she always listened to my concerns and was responsive. She was also readily available, including during evenings and weekends. April is blessed with a wonderful and responsive support staff. I would wholeheartedly endorse her for anyone experiencing a complex and difficult situation.

I had Danielle as representation for some pretty serious traffic infractions. She was amazing, made the horrible situation so much easier. She was affordable, professional and even after my case was handled when she saw me in court at random she took my file and gave me some help. She is definitely the person you want to represent you if you ever need anyone

I retained the Kindlon Law Firm in the Autumn of 2011 to represent me in a serious criminal matter. I was extremely disappointed in their service! Their attorneys (Mr. T. Kindlon and Mr. Hammond) participated in a conference call with myself, and my brother (who is a CA labor law attorney). During this meeting, Mr. Kindlon and Mr. Hammond both AGREED to a very specific course of action that I had laid out for my defense. Unfortunately, after this agreement they made the conscious and deliberate decision to completely ignore my directive.
The prosecutor was continually asking the Court for 90-day extensions. And the Kindlon Law Firm allowed the extensions repeatedly. The stress of these constant extensions, and a prolonged pre-trial release period, was taking a very serious toll on my health (both physical, and mental).
Therefore, I made the decision to oppose any further extensions which the prosecutor requested. Mr. Kindlon & Mr. Hammond were fully aware of my health concerns and that I no longer was willing to give the govt unchallenged extensions. Nevertheless, these attorneys completely disregarded my (the client's) directive and allowed the govt yet another, unchallenged, 90-day extension...
They did not even inform me of their egregious action. I was subsequently informed by a Texas attorney who I had also retained. After I was informed that Mr. T. Kindlon and Mr. Hammond had elected to completely disregard an agreed upon course of action/directive from the client, I immediately fired the Kindlon Law Firm and retained other representation.
I would certainly not use this firm again.

Terence Kindlon is by far the most sincere and knowledgeable attorney around. Mr Kindlon has handled a couple of charges for me and was very helpful throughout the whole process. He was a tremendous help and was able to reach a favorable resolution in each circumstance. His office staff was also very friendly and able to answer any questions I had. For any criminal charges in capital region I would absolutely recommend this law office!

Terry Kindlon is one of Albany's - nay, the tristate's -- Let me start over. Terry Kindlon is one of New York State's top lawyers. He cares about his clients and he is very knowledgeable and personable. If you hire Kindlon, rest assured that your case will be handled ethically and with high-quality care and detail.
