Awesome

I hired Attorney Dunnigan for a charge I was facing jail time for. Not only was he able to protect me from serving jail time he made the process easy. He was available anytime I had a question. His staff was very friendly and professional. I recommend him to anyone. I thank god for all he did!!

Animal Cruelty

I hired Mr. Dunnigan for an animal cruelty charge. Although the incident was an accident it looked as if the case was going for the worse. Brian Dunnigan knew exactly what to say and when to say it. My case was dismissed. Found not guilty. Very professional and affordable. He even prayed with me at m...y consultation. I highly recommend him.

Mr. Dunningan a true Man of God

Mr. Dunnigan stood up for me when the chips were down. on June 17th 2016 I was charged with public intoxication This man of God was engaging with the Proscuting and Judge and presented a case for me that leverage a dismisal of the charges. I call him a man of God because at the conclusion of t...he trail, he gave all the honor and glory to Gods mercy in my case. I Thank God for sending Mr. Dunningan to stand for me today. A.D.

Slam Dunk!!!

Thank you again for your services. You have handled my case in an extremely competent and professional manner. This was a tough time for my family but your compassionate advice and positive attitude blessed us along the way. We struck gold when we found Brian Dunnigan because all charges were dismiss...ed.

Excellent Outcome

I was facing a 3rd offense of driving on a suspended license. Mr. Dunnigan told me what I needed to do and I made sure it was done before court and when it was all said and done my charge was dismissed. He is an amazing attorney and I would recommend him to anyone that needs an attorney for any reaso...n.

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.
