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.

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!!

Top notch attorney

I was involved in a traffic accident and charged with following too closely because of it. I had a clean driving record and wanted to keep it that way. I hired Brian to represent me for this case and it was as great an experience as one can expect with a court case coming up. He and his staff were po...lite and gave me clear direction on what to do. On the day of court, he talked the officer into dismissing my case. I didn't even have to pay court fees. I would highly recommend him as an attorney should you ever need one.

Traffic Court

I used the services of Brian Dunnigan to fight a traffic ticket. The first thing I noticed was that every time I called, a very courteous person answered the phone and all of my questions were addressed promptly. Communication is so very important and the Dunnigan law firm excelled at it. Brian to...ok my information, told me what to expect, and then delivered for me. He beat my ticket by noticing problems with the police officers testimony on the fly. I would highly recommend him. He is very professional and easy to work with.

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.
