Adrian Dunning Review

My wife and I recently hired Adrian for estate planning assistance in the preparation of our wills and several trusts. We were extremely impressed with his knowledge and level of expertise. He patiently guided us through the steps of the process and the end product was a set of documents we were very pleased with. Additionally, Adrian is truly a very nice man and honest; he actually charged us less than his original quote as a result of the process taking less of his time than he estimated. No other attorney I've ever dealt with would have done this. I strongly endorse Adrian as a wonderful legal counsel.

Simply Thankful!

Adrian was an absolute pleasure to work with! I am a young single mother and my debt was controlling my life. From the moment I first spoke with him, he did everything and more to help me regain control of my finanaces. He was always available when I needed him and he made the entire process so easy and effortless. I would definitely recommend Adrian to anyone that is looking for an attorney that cares more about the client rather than the client's money.

Honest advice

While seeking divorce advice Adrain gave me the advice I needed to help me make the right decision, and I chose to work things through with my spouse. I wasn't just a paycheck to him. In fact the advice he gave me was during a free consultation. I know who I'll hire if I ever do need a lawyer.

Great communication

We recently worked with Adrian for some estate planning needs. Although estate planning can be very delicate and difficult, it's also very important. We were impressed with how knowledgeable he was as he guided us through the process. He answered questions in layman's terms that helped put us at ease and gave us complete confidence in our decision to use him for our estate planning needs.

Mr. Dunning was always available to answer any and all questions in a very timely manner...never leaving any stone unturned. If he didn't have the answer for you right then, he would look into it.

Adrian Dunning Review

Met with Adrian to review and update our Wills. I found Adrian to be extremely approachable and respectful. He made me feel comfortable with his review of our previous Will and allowed us time for questions. His explanation of the options before us were straightforward. It was a pleasure having him to work with us during the entire process. I will use Adrian again for other matters and recommend his services.

Forget Alex...CALL ADRIAN!!

In one consultation he helped me more than 5 correspondences with my previous lawyer! Not only did he give me effective, problem-solving advice that was swift and honest, he listens very well. Took time to hear my whole story and not dismiss me after a couple of sentences like a couple of other lawyers did when I called them. I recommend him in the highest way and wouldn't hesitate using him in the future if need be.

"Top Notch"

I have known Adrian for several years. He has always been personable, dependable and trustworthy. When I needed representation I went to Adrian. Nothing had changed. He listened to all my questions and supplied honest answers all the way through the process. He was accessible and always returned my calls or email in short time. I would highly recommend Adrian, not only for the attorney he is but for the person he is.

An excellent lawyer and a great guy...

On both a personal and professional level, I cannot speak highly enough about Adrian. In the cases we have litigated against each other, Adrian has always maintained the delicate balance of zealous advocacy and professional conduct. Both of these traits served his clients well in the ultimate resolution of each matter.
