Mike Cunningham

Mike Cunningham focuses his practice on criminal defense, DUI/OWI, expungements, and specialized driving privileges for clients located primarily in the southeast Indiana area. He is admitted to practice law in all of Indiana’s 92 counties as well as Indiana’s Federal District Courts.

Regardless of the accusations and criminal charges a person faces, Mike firmly believes that everyone is presumed innocent unless proven guilty, and that they are entitled to a strong defense.

With a diligent work-ethic, attention to detail, exceptional research and writing skills, and passionate advocacy in the courtroom, Mike strives to put clients at ease by protecting their rights, listening to them, and helping them achieve their goals. Whether it’s fighting your case at trial and telling your side of the story, or minimizing your exposure through negotiations and leveraging the best deal for you, Mike will work to put you in control of your case.

Mike graduated from Purdue University in 2012 and from the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law in 2017. During law school, Mike worked full-time at the Indiana statehouse and also earned legal experience during law school working on both sides as a law clerk and certified intern for both the Defense and Prosecutor.

Mike was admitted to practice law in Indiana in May of 2018, and works for the law firm of Mullin, McMillin & McMillin, LLP in Brookville, Indiana. As a practicing attorney, Mike has already argued countless suppression hearings, fact-finding hearings, and various other court and evidentiary hearings; and he has earned dismissals through negotiations and suppressions. Mike has quickly earned trial experience by taking his clients case to bench and jury trials. In September of 2019, as co-counsel, Mike earned twelve (12) not guilty verdicts in 40 minutes on a very serious pastor-sex offense case.

Q. I was accepted to work release but w covid-19 they aren't taking people I was told to report to jail what can I ask

April 19, 2020

A: You should consult with a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. He/she can go over your options and can possibly file motions on your behalf to make sure that you can complete your sentence in a way that you originally bargained for. Depending on the terms of your plea or sentencing order, you may have strong arguments to assure you can serve your sentence and possibly continue working. Good luck!

Q. Covid-19 early release. How do I go about doing this before it is to late?

April 17, 2020

A: Sorry to hear about this. You should consult with a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible to consider his options. There are motions that can be filed on his behalf to try and get him relief during this scary time. Good luck!

Q. What is ic 9-41-5-2a

April 12, 2020

A: Under Indiana law, “IC” stands for Indiana Code, and the following numbers are the Title- Article - Chapter - and section of the code that states a particular law. Title 9 outlines laws and penalties for most driving offenses. However, IC 9-41-5-2(a) does not exist, as the articles under Title 9 only go up to 33, not 41.

Hope that helps to answer your question.
