Honorable Advocate

I needed help to settle a car accident case; had suffered both physical and brain injuries that made it very challenging to keep details straight in my head. I didn't know what to do or how to proceed. I was worried about engaging an attorney but a trusted friend offered Joe Cunnane’s name and sugg...ested I give him a call. Mr. Cunnane's approach was both knowledgeable and kind. He patiently gathered facts, listened very well, and kept everything organized through a recovery that stretched to 2+ years. He responded in a caring and competent way to my questions regarding the legal implications of the various evaluation and treatment protocols I needed to recover enough to close my case. Through it all, I was very impressed by Mr. Cunnane's deep experience and also his low-key style. He was unfailingly concerned for my well-being and sincerely interested in my recovery. I appreciated the time we spent discussing developments; never felt rushed on the phone, but rather, respected and valued as an individual with other interests beyond having been injured in a car accident. We recently settled for more than I'd anticipated, and Joe kept his costs quite low. All told, my faith in the legal profession has been restored. I hope I never have another incident requiring legal assistance, but I would again seek Joe Cunnane’s help without hesitation should the need arise.

Awsome Lawyer

I was a passenger in bad in a car wreck that's we didn't cause. I was convinced by other lawyers that I was going to have to pay for it out of my pocket, but when I got with Joe Cunnane I new right away this guy cared an was committed to helping me out he was very knowledgeable about how to deal with... the other persons insurance company who didn't want to pay for my bills there client caused. Iv never been in a wreck before but i thought if someone cause an wreck they should at least pay for the hospital bills for the people they hurt, but the insurance company didn't want to cover all my bills. Thankfully I had Joe cunnane who went way above what I expected an not only got all my bills taken care of but he also got me cash settlement witch I didn't expect. Joe cunnane in my book is the best lawyer I ever met. I highly recommend him
