Cunningham Law Group gets its bedrock values from Joel C. Cunningham, retired Virginia Circuit Court Judge.
Before he was a judge, he provided free representation to Social Security Disability claimants through the Virginia Legal Aid Society.
After he became a judge, he encouraged younger lawyers to donate some of their services to people in need.
He’s always been a champion of people with disabilities and financial disadvantages.
During his career, he advocated for disability applicants, children in special education and people struggling with creditors.
He started a drug court. He received the Community Service and Scales of Justice Award. He was the first African-American appointed as a judge to Virginia’s 10th Judicial Circuit.
But maybe the most important thing was how Judge Cunningham passed these values to his son, Joel Cunningham Jr., who was inspired by his father to help his Virginia neighbors through Cunningham Law Group.
Joel Cunningham Jr. established the firm in 1998, in conjunction with his father switching to work as a judge. Since then, we’ve helped thousands of Virginia residents.
