Great service

David Cunningham has been nothing but amazing since we met. He came recommended by a friend at a very difficult time in my families life. My son had gotten into some trouble, and he not only took time to specify all the del ails of what was to come, and all the many possibilities, but he also embrace...d and noticed the unity of my entire family. Through all the many court days, he took his time to meet with us and assure us of any concerns or questions we had. The process was long, and even through COVID, he kept in contact with us. During a time when “nothing seemed to be happening”, with our case, he would still check in. He is definitely a reliable, thorough and knowledgeable man. We have been very blessed to have had him on our side through this trial in our lives. He continues to update us and is now in the final stages of making sure this is all behind us.

He’s The Best

I got in touch with David Cunningham after the police searched my home in 2019 and from the beginning he was always there for me every step of the way. He got me so far ahead of the game that when they finally arrested me in 2020 we were fully prepared and it made a huge difference when it came time ...to be sentenced. I got 10 years deferred when the prosecutor wanted 4 years TDC and that was due in large part to all the work and preparation that David put into the case between the search of my house, my arrest and my sentencing. I cannot say enough good things about David and how much he works for you and your case, I absolutely would recommend anyone to hire him, trust me you won’t be disappointed. I certainly am beyond happy with the results I got.

An Angel in disguise

My baby brother, who happens to be autistic was arrested and charged with injury to a disabled (1st offence). Not knowing what to do or who to turn to I was referred to David. Let me tell you he is truly an angel in disguise. He always kept in contact and updated me. He guided me on what I needed to ...do to help my brother's case and always reassured me things will be in our favor. He gave me the best Christmas when he called me 2 day before Christmas letting me know that my brothers case had been dismissed. David is not only our lawyer but became a really good friend. He is amazing at what he does. Hands down best attorney in Houston.

Helpful and hardworking

I had a relapse in my sobriety after 7 months sober and got arrested. Mr Cunningham was amazing, listened to me without being judgmental and was always available if I had any question. Which was often, he worked hard to get my case dismissed and I really appreciate all the help and guidance he provid...ed.

The best

I asked around from family and friends if they knew any lawyers that were very good. One of my family members referred me to David Cunningham . I sat and talked with David about my situation after just showing up to his office . I had court the next day , and he said if you need me I will be right t...here . The next day David was there at court with me . He showed up every time and really explained the process step by step . David worked hard throughout the entire process and even got a judge to do something that he had never did before . Also he got my case dismissed at Grand Jury . David is good at what he do and is an amazing lawyer .
