God Sent

Any one who believes in GOD knows where I am coming from when I say God Sent. I met David towards the end of my daughters sentencing. I wished I would have met him a whole lot sooner. David knew right from the start my daughters personality. He knew from the start that she was not what the "LAW" pain...ted her as. David worked crazy hours for us. He worked very hard for us. He enlighten us on a lot of legal terms we did not know. He encouraged us. Just from the small time I've known him, I respect and love his ability to get the job done. In court he was magnificent. He went the extra mile. If you are looking for an attorney that will get the job done. Encourage you. Tell you the truth. David Cunningham is YOUR attorney!!!!!!!!!!! He is GOD SENT!!!!! I pray we never lose contact.

Guardian Angel

I met Mr.Cunningham in December 2014 when I picked up 3 felony charges. I was in a horrible place in my life and felt defeated. I had never been in serious trouble with the law so I was terrified of the battle I was about to enter for my freedom. However, David made me feel at ease and assured me th...at we would have a positive outcome yet he remained honest of what I could possibly receive. He always kept me in the loop and often provided lots of encouraging words. Cunningham never let me down being always on time and very professional. In the resolution of my case one of my charges were dropped and I received probation on the other two. I believe that this was only possible with David's help. Even after my case was over he remained in contact and helped me with any questions or concerns I had. David is an extraordinary attorney that will exceed your expectations. I have never met a lawyer quite like him and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney that will get the job done!

Amazing human being

Extremely professional and a very hardworking person . He understood my situation as being an immigrant it was very important to take steps keeping future implications in mind , very knowledgeable and he did reward my faith in him . Even the Honorable Judge acknowledged the fact that he worked very h...ard on my case . I will always be grateful to mr Cunningham for the way he handled my case as he could have treated me ordinarily but he did take interest and kept his promise to get it dismissed .

As good as they come

From beginning to end (expunction), David handled my case perfectly. I could not be more pleased with his professionalism, knowledge, and effort. As a lawyer myself, I tend to hold other lawyers to a higher standard than most non-lawyers might. David not only met, but exceeded, my expectations. S...tarting the first time we sat down to discuss my case, David backed me, supported me, and fought for me, and his efforts resulted in a quick dismissal of my case. I hope to never again need a criminal defense lawyer, but if I do, David is the only one I will call.
