Dui, Refusal and Possession of marijuana

Not only did Mr.Dunnigan keep me from facing what seemed to be mandatory jail time, he got the dui reduced to a reckless. I walked into the courtroom a nervous wreck and walked out on cloud 9. Now I am able to keep my job and get a second chance. Couldn't be happier with the outcome and the true prof...essionalism Mr.Dunnigan showed.

Driving on Suspended 3rd Offense

Mr. Dunnigan and Staff were awesome! Very professional and reliable team. Everyone answered all my questions and concerns in a timely fashion. Everyone family oriented, very considerate and can relate to everyday life situations and mistakes. Mr Dunnigan, very honest, upfront and to the point. T...ells you EXACTLY what to expect. My 3rd off carried jail time and disobeying traffic light. Didnt stop completely on right turn. He was the bomb in court. Charge was reduced to 2nd off and paid fine on the traffic charge. Definitely a man that knows how to get the job done! My personal statement..i love the fact that he puts God first. Man of morals and principles and to a client like myself that means alot. Would recommend him to anyone!! Thank you Mr D and family for your support and keeping me home for my children!!! You all stay blessed!!

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.
