Awesome Attorney and Advocate

Colleen Cunnally advocated for me throughout the entire time, I engaged her leading up to our court date (with several tumultuous events) and afterwards. I still consider her my attorney of record and will retain her services when and if I need them again in the future. I highly recommend her and... her firm.

Posted by Amanda | November 1, 2013

Very highly recommended

Attorney Cunnally is courteous, knowledgeable, and compassionate. My husband and I have had such a positive experience with her we’ve recommended her to everyone we know who needs an attorney.

Excellent Attorney!!

I consulted with Colleen while going through my divorce. I presented all the facts to Colleen, and Colleen was very knowledgable and presented me with all of my options. Colleen explained each step in great detail, so I was well prepared and could anticipate each step. Luckily, I was able to negotiat...e an uncontested divorce with my ex-husband, so lengthy litigation was not needed. However, since Colleen was so thorough, I was well aware of the law and the requirements. I feel that I was able to negotiate a fair settlement thanks to Colleen's legal skills and knowledge. As an added bonus, Colleen's warmth and understanding makes a difficult process, slightly easier to handle. I would highly recommend Colleen if anyone is seeking counsel on any family law issue.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
