Saved my life

I was charged with 2 count ( felonies ) child abandoned with intent to return . I was currently on probation and he did everything to keep me from getting revoked . I was able to stay free while fighting for my case for almost a year . After that I was able to sign for probation and even got deferred... adjudication for those 2 cases at the end of ending term I can have it expunged and out of my record . I truly recommend David Cunningham.

Excelled beyond expectations

David Cunningham is excellent. I was falsely accused of a felony theft/bait and switch, and he helped me clear my name. He was very knowledgeable, gave clear advice on what the process of the court is, what to expect, and the best way to proceed. He put together a grand jury packet for me, with chara...cter references and polygraph results, clearly refuting the police report, and helped bring about a no bill with the grand jury, case dismissed. If I should ever need the services of a lawyer again, David Cunningham is who I am immediately reaching out to.

Greatest attorney to have on your side

Mr. Cunningham was beyond great in my brother’s case. It was a very rough and scary time in our lives. He was there through every step and guided us. He took his time to actually know my brother and studied the case well. He’s not just here to take your money like other attorneys. He’s going for the ...WIN! It was a lengthy case but we WON. Thanks to Mr. Cunningham. I don’t think we could have done it without him. I will recommend him every time. He is who you want to fight for you!

Vast knowledge of the legal system. Would definitely use him again.

David took on my (pretty dicey) case with confidence. From our first consultation to the verdict, he thoroughly explained all of my options, and what their implications would be. In the end, his guidance led to a dismissal of my case. Without him, I would have been left with a criminal record. I ...would HIGHLY recommend David to anyone in need of legal counsel.
