An angel of Hope

I am a true believer that God sends us angels when we are at our lowest point and all hope seems lost. David Cunningham is that angel. If you’re looking for an attorney there are over 2,500 criminal defense attorneys in Harris County alone. If you’re looking for a highly skilled, nonjudgmental, ex...traordinary defense and presentencing attorney then David Cunningham, who has been practicing law for over 39 years is your go to attorney! From beginning to end he always showed compassion, empathy and kept us well informed of the court proceedings and how the case was progressing. David guided us with his case strategy and always made himself available for calls and text messages, he certainly is one the most attentive individuals I have had the pleasure of meeting. His extensive knowledge of the law certainly allowed the outcome of the court proceedings to go in our favor. David is truly one of the best attorneys in Texas! He is intelligent, knowledgeable, honest and will do his absolute best to ensure the court rules in your favor. Should you ever find yourself needing representation from attorney with integrity and professionalism then David Cunningham is the man to call.

Intelligent, reliable, and takes care of his clients.

I went to court over a DUI and Mr. Cunningham made a very stressful/impossible situation seem bearable. He prioritized me, eased all of my fears and anxiety and most importantly got my case dismissed. Before meeting Mr. Cunningham I truly thought my world was ending and I was terrified. Upon our f...irst meeting I walked out and he eased all of my anxieties, educated me on the process and how things would play out, assured me he would do everything in his power to help me and in the end did just that. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need.

Excelled beyond expectations

David Cunningham is excellent. I was falsely accused of a felony theft/bait and switch, and he helped me clear my name. He was very knowledgeable, gave clear advice on what the process of the court is, what to expect, and the best way to proceed. He put together a grand jury packet for me, with chara...cter references and polygraph results, clearly refuting the police report, and helped bring about a no bill with the grand jury, case dismissed. If I should ever need the services of a lawyer again, David Cunningham is who I am immediately reaching out to.

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!

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.
