Great Experience

I met David Cunningham as a referral from a friend. From the start Mr. Cunningham was very professional and knowledgeable. I met him at his office during the initial consultation. He was polite and made me feel confident that he knew what he was doing from the start. He asked what happened and told m...e what the process would entail from beginning to end. Explained the outlined steps we would take in order to get the best outcome possible. Throughout the entire process he was tentative and quick to answer all me curious questions. This also made me feel comforted in a time of dispair. Each time we had court dates, he arrived on time and had a major presence in the court house. It seemed that he knew everyone in there and it showed that this was his regular daily job. This are all great signs you want to see in the person handling your case. As a defense council I could not have asked more from David. He got me the best possible outcome and for my case to be dismissed! I would definitely recommend David Cunningham to anyone dealing with legal issues as he is experienced and will fight to get you the best outcome you want. 10 out of 10!

Incredible guy!

Upon returning from my term in the Army and 15 month deployment to Iraq I had some trouble finding my way in civilian life and made a few unwise decisions that landed me in the maze that is the legal system. In what I would call Divine intervention I was led to David Cunningham. Not only did he manag...e to get my case dismissed but my direction in life took a turn back to normalcy due to Mr. Cunningham's desire to help veterans and people in general. Not only is David a great attorney he is also a great human being! I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone, especially if you have spent time serving your country.

A Truly Honorable Man

I met David Cunningham over 15 years ago while working as a substance abuse counselor and chaplain with inmates who had violated the terms of their probation. I was able to observe firsthand his skill not only as an attorney, but as a "life coach" for the men and women he represented. Little did I kn...ow that one day I would need his assistance for my own children due to some poor decisions. I am still amazed at the respect he commanded from everyone in the legal system who has worked with him. His authenticity is obvious to all who know him. His interest in the future of my children was and remains very refreshing and encouraging to my entire family. The outcome of the cases in which he represented us was way beyond our expectation. I strongly recommend that you have a conversation one on one with David before you retain any legal assistance for you or a loved one. John

David Cummingham has excellent legal services

My sincere thanks goes to you for your excellent legal representation. I appreciate your outstanding work in representing me in my case.  Thank you for all the help you provided me. You guided me skillfully through the process and I wouldn’t have been able to get through this without you. You made... a very critical difference in my future. I had a lot to lose and the level of your legal counsel helped me stay positive. The extra time and effort put forth on your behalf until the end was truly appreciated. I am pleased with the outcome and your handling of my case. Thanks again for displaying experience and skill to get the best possible results for me. Sincerely, Rance

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 .
