Hell hath no fury...

David Cunningham helped me out of an extremely volatile situation with an explosive relationship. I found myself at odds with an ex-girlfriend that was not only vindictive, but also an attorney. I was in way over my head and David came to the rescue. He worked tirelessly against what I could only des...cribe as the epitome of do-nothing State employees that were milking the Coronavirus for all it's worth in terms of excuses for their lack of progress. David knew exactly where and when to apply the pressure and it worked out magnificently. David took my initial call on a Sunday afternoon. I expected nothing more than a voicemail I might be able to leave a message. He then met with me the next day. I have since had the opportunity to befriend David and he has shown me great care and support not only as a client... but as a friend. I would highly recommend David to anyone that needs legal counsel. THANK YOU SO MUCH DAVID!

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 .

GURDIAN ANGEL AT 701 N. SAN JACINTO

My son has been in downtown jail for over a year, ever since he has been locked up, our lives had never been the same. He has never been in trouble, never even had a driving violation. Hard-working young man. He started mixing with hostile and toxic people that were up to nothing good. It only got hi...m to where he is at now. He was going to be put away for a long time, and I already had lost all hope. All they kept saying is it was not looking good, he did this and that, not ever giving us any hope or good news, it was nerve-racking just waiting to see what the judge was going to indict my son with. But one day, they said the Professor was going to take over and represent your son. We all asked, what’s a Professor’s going to do. Well to our surprise, the professor was the Attorney, Mr. David Cunningham, thank you God!!! it is like a miracle to us, he took charge and did not waste time. David was and is always diligent and persistent, always stayed on top of my son’s case. I did not even have to call him one time. He would always keep us informed to tell us how the case was going. In less than two months, he wrapped things up and made it happen. I wish I knew about him from the beginning. Just about every week David visited my son during the pandemic, bad weather and all. This made my son and us very happy, comfortable and gave us peace of mind. My son knew Mr. Cunningham will visit him and was always looking forward to seeing him. All my family members kept praying for Mr. Cunningham so he would not get sick, they kept saying that God sent him to free our son. I do not even know how to explain it, my eyes are watery as I am writing, trying to stay strong and see what the future holds for my son. Mr. Cunningham is always very positive, optimistic, and knowledgeable. He never let us lose hope. Sure, enough the big day came, court day in February 2O21, Mr. Cunningham looking very sharp and professional and made sure my son was clean and presentable, not like the first time when he went in front of the Judge, scared, lost, and confused. David gave us the great news, it all went well, our son got deferred adjudication. Praise the Lord, my son will finally come home. My most high respects and gratitude go to this fine caring gentleman, thank you so much. I do not know how else to express my joy and happiness, what would have happened if he had not stepped in. My son is everything to me and I cannot wait for him to come home and sit with us at the dinner table and enjoy a good talk and a delicious homemade meal. Thanks again, Mr. Cunningham, YOU ROCK!!!!! And God bless you always, I wish more people knew about you. When someone needs a defense lawyer, I will highly recommend Mr. David Cunningham, no doubt about it.
