Outstanding lawyer

My family’s experience with Mr. Cunningham has been a great one. We met Mr. Cunningham over a year ago when my father found himself in a difficult situation facing felony charges. David did his absolute best to help my father and he is everything that you would want in a lawyer. A great communicator,... professional, intelligent, knowledgeable and best of all empathetic. David was able to score my father a plea deal that would allow him to do probation and pay a fine. This was the outcome we were hoping for and David made it all possible. We are beyond thankful to him. We would not have been able to get the results we got in this case if it weren’t for all of his efforts.

Best Attorney

David Cunningham was highly recommended to us ( my daughter and i) by a close friend. So we hired him on a case that was difficult in which my daughter was in involved. Hoping for the best so it wouldn't hurt her future career and employment , he went above and beyond to defend my daughter and got ...the case dismissed ! He is such a wonderful person and has a good heart, we were truly blessed to have worked with him. I would definitely and highly recommend David Cunningham to be the person to place your trust in , and represent you in your time of need.

Light at the end of a dark tunnel.

My future was looking bleak when I was charged with a Class A Misdemeanor Deadly conduct for defending myself. Im not sure how he did it but Mr. Cunningham managed to get me off the hook. I was never convicted and my charges were dropped. I would highly recommend this lawyer to anyone in need. hes ve...ry helpful in answering my questions even though I could be annoying at times. thought my life was pretty much over (being dramatic I know) but David Cunningham came to my rescue and saved me from the worst case scenario and I didn't even have to do much work.

Great Attorney

I contacted attorney David Cunningham for a case that needed to be expunged because of a previous relationship issues that ended up on my record. I was not able to get a good decent job because of this not even work for Uber but now my record has been cleared, it took him a few month to do this and ...I am thankful to God for allowing me to find a attorney like him.

Angel from above attorney

I hired David Cunningham last year sometime around September 2016. He insured me everything was going to be okay in due time. Must I say he never failed me in anything he advised me of. It's was always easy to reach him if not he would call back with any concerns that I had. Through the time of him b...eing my attorney we built a friendly/ family relationship. I would recommend anyone to use him. I put my life in his hand and I'm still living thats to him my angel above. It was a long journey but a dismissal at the same time. If your looking for someone to go above and beyond on your behalf this is the attorney you need. No need to look any further!!!!
