Absolutely superb

I must say I was absolutely impressed by this lawyer. Mr. Duningan got me out of every charged I was faced against. I was facing jail time and Mr. Duningan got me off of everything. He is very professional and he knows the system. I would give mr Duningan five stars! Thank you so much!

Could not have Been Happier

I have received so many advertisements in the mall. To be honest I was looking to go with the cheapest Attorney. I called 3 to 4 before I called Dunnigan Law. I am so glad I called them. I spoke to Christina quite a few times before making my decision. She was so helpful and knowledgeable. She was ve...ry comforting and cheerful. When I met Mr. Dunnigan for my face to face meeting he was very reassuring, explained to me what to expect in court. I felt I truly hired a Great Attorney, along with his reasonable fees, and payment plans I had the BEST out come I could ask for. My charge of Petit Larceny was dismissed. Thank you just doesn't seem enough for the Great work Christina and Mr. Dunnigan did.

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.
