They know the business!

I am so glad to have found Neville & Cunat for my legal issue. With Marc Cunat's experience and Morgan's communication skills, you're sure to feel confident and well informed throughout the course of your case. They really take the time to listen and understand you as a person, rather than the all to...o familiar 'just a client' feeling. Can't recommend them enough.

Brilliant and Caring

Marc Cunat and his colleague Morgan Samples are absolutely wonderful. My legal issue was resolved quickly and professionally. They were always available to answer my questions, sometimes, the same question more than once! I will be forever grateful for the way they handled my case and highly recom...mend the firm of Neville & Cunat.

Better in Forsyth County does not exist.

I hired Marc Cunat as my attorney for a case in 2008. He could not have been more professional, honest, clear and patient with me. Legal processes are long and complicated, and if you're hiring a defense attorney, it generally means you have something to lose. Mr. Cunat did an amazing job in fighting... my case and showing the court the truth about my situation. It was my first and only offense, and I could not be more pleased with how Mr. Cunat handled my case. Still to this day, he offers me legal advice if necessary and has been a pleasure to work with.

Absolutely the best Lawyer around

Mr. Cunat worked diligently and quickly to get me what i believe to be best result possible for my situation. He was extremely knowledgeable and and never 'sugar - coated' anything per my predicament. I selected him 5 days after being apprehended and the moment I made the choice, he was already givin...g me assignments that he knew would be required anyway allowing me to wrap everything up 10 times as quickly as anyone else. I was always able to get a hold of him when i wanted and he always returned my calls and emails promptly. The day he sealed my deal, he had me in his office explaining everything required to complete my case and said i could always call him if i had any questions. He has more than 30 years of experience and is worth every penny, no matter what the cost.

YOU HAVE FOUND THE BEST!!!

If you want the best of the best, look no further because you have found them!! Mr Cunat and Morgan are both the most amazing people with the biggest hearts I have ever met!! I have NEVER had to deal with crimal law I knew NOTHING about it and felt like I was buried with no way out!! Mr Cunat and Mor...gan made me feel like family with the first phone call and immediately took my situation in as what felt like their top priority. Never dealing with criminal law before they both were MORE than patient explaining everything to me so I fully understood what was going on. Mr Cunat called me DAILY not only to keep me updated on my situation but, to also check on me personally!! Mr Cunat and Morgan immediately made me feel like they had personally dug me out of the hole I was buried in. They were so dedicated that EVERY single call that I made to them was either answered or returned IMMEDIATELY and the majority of the time they called me BEFORE I even had a chance to call them!! The Knowledge of Mr Cunat is, to say the least, overwhelming as is his experience and expertise!! I pray that my family is NEVER in a situation like this again but, I know the FIRST call I make WILL BE to Mr Cunat. I know what a true blessing they are to me and there will never be enough words to thank them enough for their expertise, dedication, commitment and personal involvement!! Mr Cunat and Morgan are true angels here on earth!! If you are taking the time to read this review I CAN NOT RECOMMEND MR CUNAT ENOUGH!!!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE call Mr Cunat because he will fight harder for you than anyone you have ever or will ever know, immediately make you feel like family and will FAR EXCEED any hope or expectations you have!!! I will NEVER BE able to tell Mr Cunat and Morgan enough what a blessing they both are to me and how THANKFUL I am to the both of them!! WITHOUT HESITATION I WILL RECOMMEND MR. CUNAT TO ALL FAMILY AND FRIENDS BECAUSE I KNOW I AM PUTTING THEM IN THE VERY BEST HANDS OUT THERE!! Mr Cunat and Morgan THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES AND I KNOW THAT STILL IS NOT ENOUGH!!

"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!"
