I am pleased to be able to affirm that Mr.. Dunaway most definitely deserves to be rated as a top-notched lawyer. Throughout the entire litigation process, he has been very thorough and has maintained a most respectful attitude to both us and the judge hearing the case. and to the opposing counsel. His integrity is without question. I would definitely recommend Mr. Dunaway to others.

Besides being a thorough and skilled lawyer, Mr. Dunaway has maintained proper decorum in dealing with the less-than-respectful opposing attorneys. My hat is off to him and I highly recommend him to anyone needing good legal counsel.

Hired Attorney

Mr. Dunaway has represented my husband and me in multiple land use, real property, and other matters over the last three years. Will is extremely knowledgeable; always well prepared; collaborates with us to create a strategic plan; and implements this plan efficiently. He communicates well and is very responsive. Will is an intellectual, gentleman attorney but can be "tough" when the situation demands. Mr. Will Dunawayshould be a model for all attorneys.
