Excellent attorney and friend

We have known William Cunningham for more than 30 years, and know him to be an honest expert attorney, as well as a very good friend. He has assisted us over the years with several legal issues. One incident in particular was when our detached garage caught fire while we were away from home. Our g...arage burned down and was a total loss, including everything inside. The garage and our residence had been insured through our homeowners insurance company for literally years, and no claims had ever been filed. We filed a claim with the insurance company on the garage, and they denied the claim. We contacted Mr. Cunningham and asked for legal assistance. He contacted the insurance company regarding their refusal to honor the claim. Finally, an insurance representative came to assess the damage and try to determine the cause of the fire, which was found to be a wiring shortage inside the circuit breaker box. Mr. Cunningham pursued the matter until a successful resolution was reached and the claim was paid. Mr. Cunningham's persistence and expertise helped us tremendously in this difficult matter.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
