Great Attorney

He was amazing!! First, my lawyer that I hired and worked with for several months died, leaving me in a quandary. But for the grace of God, Mr. David Cunningham came, as a friend of my attorney, to help if I wanted him too. Not knowing I said please. He then went to work for me with all the compassio...n, professionalism, and sense of urgency anyone would appreciate. he took an aggressive stance from the beginning and kept me informed every step of the way. His diligence and dedication to my case won me a dismissal, in no time. The fortunate part is, he WILL be my attorney forever and for any and all advice or help I may ever need. I am very proud to be a walking advertisement for Mr. David Cunningham. I would advise ALL of you to hire him as you attorney. He is mine!! Thank you Mr. Cunningham

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

Superb lawyer and compassionate man.

If you find yourself in need of a criminal lawyer, you life is probably not going the way you want it to. David Cunningham will tell you the truth and do his best to help you get the results you desire. In addition, he is compassionate, does not judge you and if you listen to him, will give you good ...advice. I cannot thank him enough for his help. His reputation and knowledge of the Houston Criminal System is A++. And if all of that is not enough, he teaches law at the University of Houston. (Go Cougars). Hire him if you find yourself in need of the best criminal lawyer in Houston.

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!
