Not Obey Supena, Unemployment Comp

Attorney Dunnigan developed and presented an organized and thoughtful analysis of my ongoing medical, physical and occupational challenges and reviewed them with the Prosecutor in advance. The result was a nolle prosequi by the Judge in Norfolk Circuit Court. Attorney Dunnigan then provided me with... sound counsel for my next steps in dealing with the Commonwealth of VA. Following his advice, I have obtained assistance to promptly answer any subsequent queries from the Commonwealth. I couldn't have been more pleased with his representation of me in this matter.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Dunnigan is an excellent attorney. I had a speeding ticket and Mr. Dunnigan told me what I needed to do prior to my court date, told me what the possible out comes would be and through him speaking with the officer my charge got dismissed. I am very happy I had him represent me as my attorney.

Super impressed

I was very pleased with Mr.Dunnigan and his friendly staff. I had received a speeding ticket one morning on my way to work. Mr. Dunnigan represented me in court and got my ticket reduced and I did not lose points on my license. Thanks Dunnigan Law you did a great job!

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.
