A blessing when one was needed

David Cunningham was referred to us at a time when my family did not know where to turn to for legal advice, in regards to my brother's case. The first time around we had recently lost my father and my brother's case just added stress to everyone's plate. David saw we were people of sincerity and too...k my brother's case and represented him as if he was representing a son/ family member of his own. My Mother, brother, and I were pleased with Davids work, at times a little frustrated with the process of the courts but David always assured us, this is just how the process works. David, as busy as he was, always found his way to answer text, voicemail, and emails that were sent to him. He took suggestions and information offered to him and did not just disregard them because of his level of expertise. When questions were asked, he was blunt and told the truth whether if it was what we wanted to hear or not. His honesty was appreciated because when it comes to being charged or facing possible jail time, you do not want false hope. He represented my brother in two cases and both of the outcomes left my brother with his freedom and minimal blemishes to his record and for that we are grateful. Mr. Cunningham, in our honest opinion, was the right person for the job and was a blessing to us when our family needed it the most. Thank you, Mr. Cunningham, for your help and your guidance through both cases.

Outstanding Attorney & Person

My son was charged with a very serious drug offense. Dave was highly recommended by a law enforcement community member as "being the only person that would represent my son if I had to choose". Dave spent a great deal of time with my son, my wife and I and truly developed a game plan that included ...immediate actions we could undertake to not only help my son with his challenges, but to demonstrate to the Court that he (Dave), our son and family were working proactively to address. Dave's insight, guidance and strategy in this regard was a true game changer!! 17 months later, my son is doing exceptionally well, drug-free and was able to successfully complete a pre-trial diversion program. None of this.......would have been possible without Dave Cunningham. We are truly grateful for his caring and professionalism. When you are faced with a serious charge and your not sure what to do, Dave is your guiding light and beacon through the storm. So, as I was originally told, I now fervently attest to those considering Dave.... if it was my family member facing a serious charge, there is only one attorney I would call........Dave Cunningham!

Exceeded Expectations!

If you ever need a great lawyer, you need to hire David Cunningham. My son had a second degree felony charge, so we met with David Cunningham. We felt comfortable with him from the start & knew he was the right choice for our needs. He told us straight up what to expect & how things would proceed. He... didn't sugarcoat anything & kept us informed along the way. He did everything in his power to get us a favorable outcome. He was concerned for our well being during the process, & has been constantly in contact with us even afterwards. If we ever need a lawyer again, we will surely hire David Cunningham. We highly recommend him!

Great Attorney

David is truly one of the best! He is intelligent, knowledgeable, and honest. I just recently fell under unfortunate circumstances and David did everything in his power to have my case dismissed. I would recommend him to anyone!

Excellent lawyer

I had been arrested under false pretenses and was looking at a good piece of time. I talked with some friends and tribes about the situation and Mr. Cunningham had came highly recommend, so I sought his services and was very satisfied. I was able to present him with the evidence that proved my innoce...nce and despite a very aggressive prosecutor, he presented my case and got a full dismissal.
