Nothing short of amazing

I was extremely pleased with Mr. Dunnigan and his office staff. His office staff were always helpful, pleasant, and courteous. Mr. Dunnigan was amazing. I was thankful and blessed from the moment I hired him. I went to court hoping to get my wreckless driving charge lowered to a different charge. But..., thanks to Mr. Dunnigan my wreckless driving charge was dropped. I highly recommend Dunnigan Law if you are looking for a lawyer that is respectful, honest, courteous, and a Godly man.

Super easy to deal with

I had contacted his office to find out what i needed to do with a traffic ticket i got while in virginia. He explained to me what my options were and what he can do for me. So i hired him and he took care of the rest.

An Excellent Experience In A Stressful Situation

Mr. Dunnigan's legal representation was beyond exceptional. I was charged with a +20 MPH traffic violation; and after retaining his services and following Mr. Dunnigan's directions / recommendations, my case was dismissed. I would recommend his services to anyone. I highly suggest his number be one t...o keep in your contacts; because you never know when your gonna need the best.

Best lawyer

Brian is terrific. He is personable and kind. He said he and his staff prayed before he went to court that day, and my case was dismissed, too! He gave excellent legal advice. His staff are always courteous, professional, friendly, kind, and responsive. During our consultation, he explained what wou...ld happen in court and gave legal advice that helped ease my mind. I would recommend him without question being experienced and knowlegable in his field. God bless, Mr. Dunnigan.

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.
