Beyond thankful

Marc and his team quickly and effectively got to work as soon as walked in the door. Marc’s experience made me feel confident throughout the duration of time dealing with the state. They would keep in touch with me to check up regularly. Thanks again guys!

Above and Beyond

Marc went above and beyond in helping guide my 17 year old grand daughter in the right direction, grattis. If I ever need a legal expertise covered by Marc office, I will not think of retaining anyone else. I believe he is as good as it gets. Marc spent over an hour helping to guide her in the r...ight path. If we end up needing an attorney for her, it will be him.

Just who I needed

Marc was informed, honest, caring, supportive, and helped me understand every aspect about my case and why he was doing what he was doing and how it would impact me. He helped me make educated and smart decisions, ultimately giving me exactly the kind of outcome I was hoping for my case. His assistan...t Morgan was God sent and made sure I felt secure and confident in their work. I highly recommend them as a team.

Awesome legal counsel

Needed a criminal defense attorney to help with a situation for my son and was fortunate and blessed in my google search to have landed in the capable hands of Marc Cunat and his team. They treated us like family and was very concerned for my Son well being. These folks went above and beyond t...o assist my family and I. Marc and his team were very friendly and caring yet remained very professional in the execution of their duties. I would highly recommend Marc Cunat and his staff at Neville & Cunat for legal assistance.

Wonderful!

Marc is a wonderful attorney, who personally guided me through the entire legal process. I was stressed out, and frankly confused by the allegations against me, but Marc was patient with me, and made sure to educate me about everything that was going on. He advised me on classes & other things that I... needed to do before court, things I never would have thought of on my own. Most importantly, he was able to get my charges dropped! I would definitely recommend him to others. I’ve always heard bad things about attorneys, so dealing with Marc was a very pleasant surprise!

"Marc is fantastic. If you need a lawyer in or around Forsyth County who can just plain get the job done, Marc is your guy. From his ability to connect with a jury, to his skill in boiling a complex legal case down into simple concepts--if I ever know someone who needs legal help in Greater Atlanta, Marc will be the first call I make. This Michigan lawyer unequivocally endorses Marc and his right hand, Morgan. Were it not for their tireless efforts and Marc's legal skill, someone very close to me might very well be sitting in the Georgia prison system as I sit and type this. Thanks again, Marc and Morgan!"

"I endorse this lawyer. Marc Cunat is a tremendous litigator. In fact, he has the best string of major felony victories in Forsyth County over the past few years. Marc prepares his cases to the highest level and that is reflected in his "Not Guilty" verdicts. As a former DA, he knows both sides of the legal issues to the benefit of his clients. Marc believes in his clients and their defense. He is very well respected by his colleagues and prosecutors alike. Marc is the total package of knowledge, preparation, passion and courtroom skills. ."
