Helped me through a very difficult time

Mr. Dunnigan represented me for a reckless driving case in Norfolk. His staff was very friendly and helpful and clearly gave me direction on what I had to do. Mr. Dunnigan was very friendly and gave me confidence I needed during a very stressful point in my life. The case was dismissed and I couldn’t... be happier. I would recommend Dunnigan Law to anyone facing a traffic infraction in the Hampton roads area.

Dunnigan law is your way to go

Of course it is usually never fun trying to find a lawyer and can be a stressful situation, but going through Dunnigan Law was extremely helpful. Brian works with you personally on your case and makes you feel important. I never felt rushed or disregarded when talking with Brian. Every time I called ...him he answered or got back with me within minutes. Between Brian and his front desk receptionist, they always answered any questions I had. He is a great lawyer to work with and knows exactly what he is doing. He helped me get my case dismissed and was a pleasure working with. Overall great experience!

He's your attorney

My husband and I didn't know what to expect when we hired Mr Dunnigan. He was very honest and up front. Great attorney and very positive. He was affordable and worth it. Id recommend him to anybody .

Reckless Driving

I was charged with reckless driving going 22 over in Virginia Beach. Mr. Dunnigan walked me through all the necessary things i needed to do and to my surprise i got all charges dropped. Didn't have to pay a dime besides the lawyer fee which i got at a military discount. 100% satisfied with the outcom...e of everything. I would recommend to anyone.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
