Professional and Courteous

Dunnigan Law was very helpful and professional from the beginning. The staff was courteous and helpful and told me exactly what documentation they would need up front. They also recommended that I go ahead and take the VA Safe Driver course before my court date. Mr. Dunnigan was prompt to my court... appearance and through his professional dealing with the judge, my charges were dismissed. I am thankful and greatful that I used Dunnigan law.

110/55 Charges Dropped

Brian was really nice, showed up to court and demanded to see the police officers calibration which i think was off. But it turns out the cop couldnt identify me as the person on the motorcycle (i have no idea how). I would reccomend Brian and use him in the future( i hope there isnt a futurefor that... hahaha) Compared to other legal aid Brian's firm was fairly priced at $600 for my representation.

Recommend Dunnigan strongly!

Dunnigan is very well rounded and I would strongly recommend him to anybody who needs a lawyer. Brian Dunnigan is knowledgeable and is fair priced compared to all the other lawyers out there. I was recently in a car accident and was charged with reckless driving. To be honest, I was terrified, but my... husband recommended me to Dunnigan and I felt immediate relief. His team is great and helped me out. Once my court date came up, he showed up well dressed and confident. When we got in front of the judge, he explained my situation and it was dropped. This all happened under 2 minutes flat. If you want a lawyer who knows his stuff and has a 100% great attitude, Brian Dunnigan is the lawyer for you.

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.
