Verified ClientHired Attorney 2022I’m very grateful for the help I receive from Mr. James Cunningham. I found the need of his services, through the review of others, to represent me and my family when an automobile accident resulted in the tragic death of my husband. Mr. Cunningham and his staff exceeded my expectations. At any time I needed them, they were always available to help quickly and with a high level of professionalism. Everything was explained in detail and made a horrifically sad time for me and my family a bit better. If you need an attorney, Mr. Cunningham is the one. I highly recommend, he helped me so much with my case until everything was taken care of.

Hired Attorney 2023-2025Jim Cunningham is highly professional and immensely knowledgeable. He is also understanding and empathetic. I always found his communication to be clear and concise, with ample availability for any and all of my inquiries. This is not to mention, of course, that he is an absolute rockstar of an attorney with the tact and tenacity to maximize my compensation. His legal assistant, Karen, is excellent. She was always kind and knowledgeable while guiding me through this difficult time. I never had any reason to doubt that I was working with the best team. Jim Cunningham did an outstanding job handling my case and being there for me all the way to a maximum settlement. Jim and Karen, thank you!

Hired Attorney 2023-2024I was in a bad car accident, with my infant son in the car. My car was totaled and I incurred injuries. I knew I needed legal representation but hadn’t used an attorney before; the idea of finding and using an attorney was intimidating. We were referred to Mr. Cunningham and I’m so thankful for his help! Mr. Cunningham made the process very easy. He was kind and guided me with sound advise. He was able to get us the maximum settlement possible, more than we imagined, and we’re so grateful! His legal assistant, Karen, is so warm and efficient. She truly cared for us. I’d highly recommend Mr. Cunningham to anyone who needs legal representation for a personal injury case!

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
