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.

Professional, Respectful, and a Friend

Upon meeting with Marc I didn't know what to expect because this was my first time I had ever had to go to court and I was a minor. He showed me how to handle the situation the best way and he was also very straight forward by saying that it was something I could handle on my own with preparation and... saved us a lot of money. Marc is professional, shows you respect regardless of your age, and by the end of a consultation with him he is also a friend that I have a lot in common with. Bottom line he helps you out by doing what he knows will be best for you the client.

Saved my son's future!

After graduating high school, my son made some really bad decisions that could have led to a felony conviction, with up to 20 years in prison and up to $100,000 worth of fines. Based off all the research we could do on similar cases, we expected a best-case scenario of 1-2 years in prison, and $5,00...0-$10,000 in fines. Even this would have prevented my son from pursuing his future career goals. Because of his experience and professional connections, Marc Cunat, with Morgan Sample's assistance, was able to avoid any conviction, and only a few hours of community service! We are grateful beyond expression, and give Marc and Morgan our highest recommendation!

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!"
