An amazing advocate

Brian Dunnigan is an excellent advocate. My traffic case was stressful for me, and he was kind (even compassionate!) as he advocated for me. He is determined, honest, professional, and has integrity. He handled my case excellently, and the result was better than either of us had even hoped for!

Exceeded my Expectations

Office staff was very pleasant and professional. Mr Dunnigan over exceeded my expectation on this case by using his knowledge and skills to find a technicality which resulted in the case being dismissed. I can't express enough how happy I am and how much of a blessing this was. I thank God and Mr. Du...nnigan. Overall I was and am overly satisfied with Dunnigan Law. Than you.

Very Satisfied

I will make this short and simple but I was very satisfied with Dunnigan Law overall. The office staff was professional and very nice. Mr. Dunnigan definitely did his job and had me walking out with all charges dismissed. Money well spent and definitely seek Dunnigan Law out for any future help. Than...k you.

Excellent Service Provided!!

I hired Mr. Dunnigan and he advised me to take a specific course of action for my case. I followed his instructions and as a result my case was thrown out in court. the charge that I was being charged with will not be on my record thanks to Mr. Dunnigan's Firm. He even prayed for me. He's real friend...ly and a down to earth person. He's not like other lawyers. I recommend him to anyone!!!!

Inspection sticker imitation

I had a ticket for inspection sticker imitation and was facing a possibility of jail time and big fine. I hired attorney Dunnigan and got it dismissed and I ended up not paying anything. I recommend him to anyone that needs a lawyer.

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.
