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.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
