Excellent Service

I consulted Mr. Dunkerly asking him to review an existing case. After an initial visit, then with his assistance, he then revealed important additional information in regards to the existing case. Very helpful, definitely would recommend his services, and/or opinion in any future matters.

Ed Dunkerly is extraodinary!!!

I've never met an attorney quite like Edward l. Dunkerly. Not only is Ed profoundly unique as a human being but also in his depth of knowledge in not just one, but in several fields of law. When you couple that with the vast amount of experience Ed has in private practice as well as courtroom exper...ience. ..... well, I can't think another attorney I'd rather have represent me in whatever my legal needs at the time..

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Ed for years, had the privilege of working with him, and I have seen him in action. He is one of those few lawyers who is, in his courtroom presence and demeanor, genuine and truly compelling. When Ed talks, people pay attention because he has a commanding presence, genuine warmth and he knows what the heck he is talking about. I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to work a case with him, learned quite a bit from him and he has my endorsement."

Unknown lawyer | Mar 27

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Criminal defense is a tough job requiring intellect, willingness to think outside the box and do the dirty work that smoke and mirror lawyers avoid. Ed rolls up his sleeves, goes to work and gets the job done while shooting straight from the hip and taking the fight to the prosecution."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
