After suffering a traumatic injury from a dog bite, I did not know who to turn to for help dealing with medical bills, lost work time and insurance claims. My neighbor, a retired attorney, suggested I consider James Cunningham Law and another firm in Tampa. I consulted with several attorneys, but as soon as I met James Cunningham, I knew he was the right attorney for me. He immediately expressed concern for my physical and emotional well-being, and his compassionate, professional manner put me at ease. As my recovery progressed, Mr Cunningham and his staff supported me by always being available for questions and responding quickly to all my concerns.
Resolving my claim with the insurance company was a stressful process. When the insurance company proposed an unreasonable amount and said the dog bite was my fault, I was devastated. Mr.Cunningham supported me through the process, persistently fighting on my behalf. Ultimately Mr Cunningham proved they were at fault 100%. He then negotiated a final recovery that was 10 times what the insurance company offered before the suit was filed!
I am so grateful to James Cunningham, and to his competent and caring assistants Karen and Barbara. If you are looking for legal representation for a personal injury, you will not find a better firm than the Law Offices of James O. Cunningham!
In March 2017, I was involved in an automobile accident in which I was a restrained passenger in the back passenger seat of a friend's car. The car I was in was totaled. I lost consciousness several times and injured my knee, which required surgery. I decided to look online at the different attorney reviews but they all felt very generic . I came across the one for James Cunningham and saw that he had very good reviews. I called his office and spoke with his office assistant, Barbra. She was very nice and professional and was able to answer all of my questions and made me feel at ease. That very same day I received a call from Mr. Cunningham. He asked me questions and answered mine. Right there and then I decided he would be the lawyer to represent me. Mr. Cunningham and his staff are never too busy to answer any questions. I was always informed of everything that was going on with my case. There were never any surprises. My case was a bit tricky at first but Mr. Cunningham's diligence and dedication to my case have resulted in a favorable outcome. All my medical bills have been paid and I will be getting my check shortly. My case did not drag on but was settled in a very timely manner. I am so happy I read those reviews and chose Attorney James Cunningham. T. V.

Best Personal Injury Attorney
I was involved in a serious automobile accident and was injured. My sister recommended I call James Cunningham, as he was her attorney several years ago and she was overly pleased with how he handled her case and the outcome.
Mr. Cunningham met me in my home, and I immediately knew upon meeting with him that he was the attorney I needed. He was kind, compassionate, professional and had many years of experience. He personally would be handling my case and I wouldn’t be working with another attorney with less experience at his firm.
During my personal injury case all my questions were promptly answered, I was always treated with kindness and professionalism and everything that was happening was explained to me in a way I could understand.
Karen was just as amazing as Mr. Cunningham. She was very professional and returned my calls and emails very quickly. I was treated as a person with kindness and not just a number.
At the end of my case, I was extremely pleased with the outcome and couldn’t be any happier.
I highly recommend James Cunningham, Karen and his staff to anyone looking for a skilled professional personal injury attorney.

Excellent service!
We found ourselves in need of a lawyer after our son was in a horrific car accident. With no experience in how to choose an attorney, we reached out to a an attorney friend who pointed out that Mr. Cunningham has been on the "super lawyers" list for 15 years! He responded to our initial call right away, even taking time to meet us at the hospital. Immediately, we recognized that he was knowledgeable, experienced and professional. He and his assistant, Karen, were in constant communication for an entire year. The case had many twists & turns but Mr. Cunningham navigated these changes in a determined manner, plus stayed very organized and kept us informed every step of the way. The best part is that he negotiated the maximum settlement! We highly recommend James Cunningham for your legal needs!

Mr. Cunningham was a pleasure to work with.
Working with Mr. Cunningham (and his staff) has been a wonderful experience. No one wants to experience an automobile accident, nor do they want to deal with all that's required to obtain fair compensation. Mr. Cunningham and his staff guided me through the process in a caring a professional manner. I'm very grateful I could work with Mr. Cunningham and recommend him to anyone who needs assistance.

Fatal Auto Accident Representation
I’m very grateful for the help I receive from Mr. James Cunningham. I found the need of his services, through the review of others, to represent me and my family when an automobile accident resulted in the tragic death of my husband. Mr. Cunningham and his staff exceeded my expectations. At any time I needed them, they were always available to help quickly and with a high level of professionalism.
Everything was explained in detail and made a horrifically sad time for me and my family a bit better. If you need an attorney, Mr. Cunningham is the one.
I highly recommend, he helped me so much with my case until everything was taken care of.

Outstanding
I hired Jim after being injured in a car accident, and from day one until the last form was signed the service I received was nothing less than outstanding. I never at any time felt like I was flying blind, everything was explained to me clearly and thoroughly, they maintained contact regularly through the process and never let me feel as if the case was unimportant, and very easy to talk and interact with. Extremely responsive, and delivered an excellent result I was happy with. If I were unlucky enough to be hurt again, I would have zero hesitation about calling him again.

Outstanding Experience
Recently, I was the victim of a rear-end hit and run. It left me injured, frantic, stressed, damage to my vehicle, medical bills, and lots of uncertainty. I am so thankful that I reached out to the Law Offices of James O. Cunningham. From the moment that I made the first call, Jim went right to work on my case and emphasized getting the medical care that I needed to get my health back in order first. He made me feel good about his firm representing me as he outlined the different facets of my case; medical, insurance, and state laws, etc. Jim and team were always very responsive in the handling matters as they arose. He exceeded my expectations, as he was very trustworthy, and I am very satisfied with my case settlement.

Mr.Cunningham and his team were very helpful throughout the time I was going through tough times post my car accident . He gives thorough information about each step and guides you rather than pushing you. He was always there whenever I needed to discuss something. I definitely recommend him to anyone who do not know what to do after the car accident.

Exceeded expectations!
I read as many reviews as I can before making any big decision, that is what led me to choose Mr. Cunningham. I was nervous about finding a lawyer outside of my state, as I am in New York, but both James and Karen eased my fears. They kept me updated every step of the way. They are experienced and knowledgeable and I trusted my case was in good hands.

Very helpful through a very long journey
I was injured in a motor vehicle accident while on vacation in Florida. After learning my injuries were going to be expensive and long term, I did my research and contacted James Cunningham to represent me. Throughout the long and trying legal process, his office stayed in close contact with me. Tasks were communicated and completed quickly and I always felt I was in the loop. During the waiting and until the final settlement, I was always treated fairly and honestly. Barbara and Karen were incredibly organized and on top of everything at all times. Although I wish I wouldn't have had to go through this, it was great to have an attorney with integrity to navigate for me.

Thank You!
I highly recommend the Law Offices of James O. Cunningham! They are reliable, competent, responsive and a service-oriented law office. Jim and his team helped me navigate a multi-year auto accident claim to a success outcome. The prospect of dealing with multiple insurance companies and various medical providers can feel a bit overwhelming and scary at times. They made it look so easy by providing me with personalized service, advice and care from start to finish.
Fred Rogers beloved host of Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood once said, “When I was a boy and would see scary things on the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’” I want to extend a sincere THANK YOU to Jim and Barbra for always being ‘helpers’ throughout the management of my auto accident case. The Law Offices of James O. Cunningham was recommended to me and I fully endorse them to handle your legal needs. From my perspective, a pat on the back is well deserved! Thank you for your continued service to your clients and the Central Florida community!
