I can't say thank you enough! When I called I was feeling pretty confused and defeated and wasn't sure how to approach the labor board with my specific situation. Not only did Mitch make me feel a lot better after talking to him, he actually delivered! He gave me all the info and direction I needed to get the ball rolling! He literally was my light in the dark! Thank You!

Very impressed with Cunningham law, although they weren't able to take a case for us, their response was quick. Mitch took the time to return a couple of calls back and provided all the information and tips we needed to get things moving for free. If we have any further issues that require a lawyer, we will absolutely use them. We certainly appreciate they help and advise.
