What our Customers Say About us

I would like to thank the team at Cunningham’s for their great work in representing me for a speeding case in Staffordshire. They handled my case very well and exceeded my expectations for a remarkable outcome, that was a great deal less of a punishment than I anticipated. Once again, thank you.

Robert Taylor – Company Director

In 2009 I was accused of driving without Care and Attention, I approached Mr Carl Millar to represent me in court. His manner, from day one, has always been courteous and polite. He has shown great enthusiasm and determination in trying to find a reasonable defence. He has always kept me well informed of the progress throughout the waiting period. The case against me was overwhelming, due to the fact I was unconscious after the accident for 40 minutes and could not collect any witnesses. Since this was my first time in court on a criminal charge, I was completely at a loss and was put at ease by Mr Millar. The sentence imposed was virtually the minimum.

James H Whitehouse – Engineer

I was charged with attempting to drive a vehicle with excess alcohol in March. The duty solicitor advised me to plead guilty as it would be in my interests to do that. I wasn’t happy with the advice given so contacted Cunninghams. From the moment I spoke to Carl he was brilliant. He went through all the events with me and attended court for an adjournment to investigate further. He carried out further research and called on other experts to support my version of the events. The result was that the charges were dropped. As I am self employed and need my licence this was a great relief. I cannot praise highly enough the help and advice I received from Cunninghams. Thank you to both Carl Millar and Jenny who kept me calm through the whole process. Should you find yourself in the position I did, Cunninghams has to be your first priority to call.

Mrs S Milner – Caterer, South Yorkshire

I will happily recommend anybody accused of motoring offences to the team at Cunninghams. My case was a difficult one but the effort and determination applied ensured a fantastic result. In short I received a first class service from start to finish.

Dean Marriott – DJ Ramirez

I recently instructed Tom Jarvis to act for me in relation to proceedings before Bury Magistrate’s Court. The case was handled with the utmost care and professionalism by Tom and the team at Cunninghams. I was eventually acquitted of all the offences for which I was summonsed. I would recommend anyone requiring advice or representation in this complex area of law to contact Cunninghams.
