About Joe Cunningham Law

To Joe Cunningham, every client is a someone. Someone who needs help, a voice, justice, and to not be looked at as just another case or number. This way of thinking came long before he became a lawyer or a congressman.

Joe recalls growing up in Kuttawa, Kentucky, population 500, where his father, Bill, ran a small law practice. On a regular basis, he witnessed firsthand the practice and importance of treating everyone with kindness and respect — particularly in a professional setting.

“I remember how dedicated my dad was to the practice with many nights him coming home and, after supper together, him slipping off into his office to return phone calls from clients,” Joe says. “Our number was always listed in the phonebook because he wanted people to have a way to get a hold of him. And I saw that respect reciprocated time and time again.”

Townspeople would often stop the elder Cunningham — who would later become a Kentucky Supreme Court justice — and thank him for his work. Joe says local residents were grateful to have someone there to stand with them, to take some of their darkest and most painful days and make them better.

His father’s example of being accountable to his clients couldn’t have been clearer once Joe was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018.

“You would have to be available, at any time, to help someone in need,” Joe explains. “Whether it be a personal issue with the IRS or Social Security, or a pressing national issue for which they possessed a passionate opinion, serving people meant being accessible, listening, and working with them toward achieving a solution.”

This sense of responsiveness, respect, and results carries through to Joe’s law practice. As a client, Joe will be in your corner, no matter how small or large your case may be.
