Outstanding Attorney & Person

My son was charged with a very serious drug offense. Dave was highly recommended by a law enforcement community member as "being the only person that would represent my son if I had to choose". Dave spent a great deal of time with my son, my wife and I and truly developed a game plan that included ...immediate actions we could undertake to not only help my son with his challenges, but to demonstrate to the Court that he (Dave), our son and family were working proactively to address. Dave's insight, guidance and strategy in this regard was a true game changer!! 17 months later, my son is doing exceptionally well, drug-free and was able to successfully complete a pre-trial diversion program. None of this.......would have been possible without Dave Cunningham. We are truly grateful for his caring and professionalism. When you are faced with a serious charge and your not sure what to do, Dave is your guiding light and beacon through the storm. So, as I was originally told, I now fervently attest to those considering Dave.... if it was my family member facing a serious charge, there is only one attorney I would call........Dave Cunningham!

Exceeded Expectations!

If you ever need a great lawyer, you need to hire David Cunningham. My son had a second degree felony charge, so we met with David Cunningham. We felt comfortable with him from the start & knew he was the right choice for our needs. He told us straight up what to expect & how things would proceed. He... didn't sugarcoat anything & kept us informed along the way. He did everything in his power to get us a favorable outcome. He was concerned for our well being during the process, & has been constantly in contact with us even afterwards. If we ever need a lawyer again, we will surely hire David Cunningham. We highly recommend him!

Excellent lawyer

I had been arrested under false pretenses and was looking at a good piece of time. I talked with some friends and tribes about the situation and Mr. Cunningham had came highly recommend, so I sought his services and was very satisfied. I was able to present him with the evidence that proved my innoce...nce and despite a very aggressive prosecutor, he presented my case and got a full dismissal.

Outstanding lawyer

My family’s experience with Mr. Cunningham has been a great one. We met Mr. Cunningham over a year ago when my father found himself in a difficult situation facing felony charges. David did his absolute best to help my father and he is everything that you would want in a lawyer. A great communicator,... professional, intelligent, knowledgeable and best of all empathetic. David was able to score my father a plea deal that would allow him to do probation and pay a fine. This was the outcome we were hoping for and David made it all possible. We are beyond thankful to him. We would not have been able to get the results we got in this case if it weren’t for all of his efforts.

Best Attorney

David Cunningham was highly recommended to us ( my daughter and i) by a close friend. So we hired him on a case that was difficult in which my daughter was in involved. Hoping for the best so it wouldn't hurt her future career and employment , he went above and beyond to defend my daughter and got ...the case dismissed ! He is such a wonderful person and has a good heart, we were truly blessed to have worked with him. I would definitely and highly recommend David Cunningham to be the person to place your trust in , and represent you in your time of need.
