TOP ATTORNEY - This is the review you want to read!

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!

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.

Great Attorney

I contacted attorney David Cunningham for a case that needed to be expunged because of a previous relationship issues that ended up on my record. I was not able to get a good decent job because of this not even work for Uber but now my record has been cleared, it took him a few month to do this and ...I am thankful to God for allowing me to find a attorney like him.

As good as they come

From beginning to end (expunction), David handled my case perfectly. I could not be more pleased with his professionalism, knowledge, and effort. As a lawyer myself, I tend to hold other lawyers to a higher standard than most non-lawyers might. David not only met, but exceeded, my expectations. S...tarting the first time we sat down to discuss my case, David backed me, supported me, and fought for me, and his efforts resulted in a quick dismissal of my case. I hope to never again need a criminal defense lawyer, but if I do, David is the only one I will call.
