David P. Cunningham

Most of us do not have our own attorney because we never plan to need one. My son had an acute psychotic break and was being treated at a behavioral health hospital. He slapped another patient and the patient wanted to press charges, which resulted in our son being arrested, charged with assault and ...taken to jail. we had no idea what to do or who to contact. We did have an attorney friend and we discussed the situation with him asked for his advice. He gave us the names of four attorneys, one of which was David Cunningham. We wanted our son represented by a renowned attorney instead of a public defender. We assume you are in a somewhat similar situation, maybe not exactly, but you are reading these reviews to find a good attorney. After vetting the four attorneys, we chose Mr. David Cunningham. We had a face-to-face meeting with Mr. David Cunningham and reviewed our son’s situation. Mr. Cunningham was professional, competent, yet very personable and it was obvious he practiced with integrity. Furthermore, he knows the Harris County court system and has been a licensed attorney for 38 years as a criminal defense attorney. We had no idea what the arrest would involve and what steps would be required. When Mr. Cunningham met with us, he told us what the cost would be up front, and the steps involved in our dealing with the charge. Mr. Cunningham communicated with us through text, phone calls, and an occasional in person meeting. He communicated frequently and kept us up to date on what was going on. With some advice from Mr. Cunningham, we documented our son’s progress, the doctor plans (psychiatrist and psychologist) and medication regiment he was following. This detailed treatment plan was presented to the other attorney, and the case was dismissed. Mr. Cunningham took an interest in our son’s case and was very caring and pleasant to work with during the legal processes. In addition, he explained it all in language and terms we could understand. We are now working with Mr. Cunningham to get the records associated with this arrest expunged. We are incredibly pleased with Mr. Cunningham. Without a doubt, if we had to do it over again, we would again choose Mr. Cunningham. Although we wish we had not needed a criminal defense attorney, his legal fee was money well spent. This review is honest and heart-felt and we hope you choose Mr. David Cunningham and that your results are also positive and what you were striving for. If possible, we would have given him a 10-star rating!

David took my case while I was still out of the country. He kept me informed via email and went the extra mile in reviewing over 1800 pages of therapy by the accuser. His professionalism is beyond top notch and him diligence to get the facts where terrific. I owe him so much and would recommend hi...m immediately

I was arrested during the pandemic, and the courts were resetting everyone. David Cunningham, went the extra mile to assure received a speedy resolution. the result was even better than I expected. working with the court and the prosecutor he convinced them that the case was without any merit, secur...ing a dismissal. Then, as I was on parole, he represented me before the Parole Board convincing the Board that there was no probable cause that I had violated any condition of my parole He did a Great Job and I will be forever grateful for his help.

David entered my life as my lawyer. From the moment I saw him, I knew my case was in good hands. He's very direct and honest about the steps of procedures I had to go through. He was very understandable and nonjudgmental of my situation. On the record side, I could tell he had good relations with the... fellow courthouse employees and judge. The confidence to defend and uphold his clients is what I appreciate the most about David. I would recommend Mr. Cunningham to anyone I know that is in need of a good defense attorney!

David helped turn a horribly embarrassing arrest into a turning point in my life. I thought it was just a case that I had to get through. David helped me realize the things that I needed to do to get my life straightened back out, permanently. He always returns calls, but prefers texts, never misses ...a date and has great relationships with the DA's and judges. Those types of relationships only come from a career of being nothing but honest and ethical. David takes the Counselor part of his job as seriously as the Attorney part. If you're honest with him and trying to stay out of the system, not just beat a case, David will fight like hell for you.
