Creator & Executive Producer
Founder, DC Consulting Group LLC

David Cunningham is an emerging television creator, executive producer, and first-year law student at Southern University Law Center, where he is pursuing a career in criminal defense and entertainment law. As the founder of DC Consulting Group LLC, Cunningham began developing Power of Attorney: Atlanta in 2024 with a vision of introducing audiences to a side of the legal profession rarely seen on television: the personalities, relationships, ambition, competition, and personal lives behind Atlanta's personal injury industry.

From the beginning, Cunningham understood that bringing his vision to life would require more than a compelling concept. It would take the right cast, the right production team, and people who genuinely understood what he wanted to create. Rather than rush the process, he remained committed to developing the project thoughtfully, believing that great storytelling requires patience, preparation, and persistence. Through the challenges and uncertainties of independent television development, he stayed motivated by his belief in the series and his determination to bring it to life.

What began as a creative venture eventually became a personal journey. Through developing and filming the series, Cunningham gained a deeper appreciation for personal injury law and the extraordinary professionals who work within it. Although his original legal interests centered on criminal defense and entertainment law, working alongside the cast sparked an unexpected interest in personal injury litigation. The experience also reinforced his belief that some of television's most compelling stories come from real people whose personalities, experiences, and relationships are already captivating without the need for manufactured drama.

When I first started working on Power of Attorney: Atlanta in 2024, I had a vision, but I also knew I couldn't rush it. I needed the right team behind me, the right people in front of the cameras, and a clear understanding of what I wanted this show to become. I've always believed that if you're going to do something, you should take the time to do it right. Perfection takes time, and while no production is ever perfect, I wasn't willing to compromise my vision just to say I had finished something. There were moments when things didn't move as quickly as I wanted, and there were challenges along the way, but I stayed motivated because I genuinely believed in what I was creating.

When we finally started filming, I realized just how special this group of people really was. Every cast member brings something completely different to the table, and that's what makes this series so exciting. These aren't just attorneys and legal marketers. They're entrepreneurs, leaders, parents, friends, competitors, and individuals with incredible stories. Their personalities are larger than life, but what makes them compelling is that they're genuinely themselves. They're funny, outspoken, ambitious, intelligent, and sometimes unpredictable. That's what makes great reality television.

Meredith Carter is an absolute star. She has a confidence, personality, and natural presence that you simply cannot teach. Jeremy Citron is a natural in front of the camera, but behind that charisma is a tough, determined attorney who knows how to fight for his clients. Clark Karell brings another dimension to the series. He's accomplished, ambitious, and navigating the realities of balancing professional success with personal challenges. His story reminds us that even the people who appear to have everything figured out are still human, with their own struggles, aspirations, and experiences.

Then you have Angelica Brumby and Betty Aquino, two incredibly intelligent women who understand the business behind personal injury law. Whether it's developing marketing campaigns, building relationships between doctors and attorneys, organizing industry events, or helping law firms expand their reach, they represent an entire side of the legal profession that most people never get to see. Their work demonstrates that building a successful law firm involves much more than winning cases. And Maha Amircani is a force to be reckoned with. Don't let her size fool you. She's confident, determined, and passionate about standing up for her clients. She brings an energy and fearlessness that I believe audiences are going to love.

What makes this cast so special to me is that they don't have to manufacture personalities for television. They're already interesting, outspoken, ambitious people living extraordinary lives. The cameras simply give audiences an opportunity to experience what I've had the privilege of witnessing firsthand. I came into this project passionate about criminal defense and entertainment law, but spending time with these attorneys, learning about their practices, and seeing their dedication to their clients has genuinely sparked my interest in personal injury law. That's how much this experience has influenced me, both creatively and personally.

Developing this series has also taught me a great deal about patience, leadership, and believing in something even when the outcome isn't guaranteed. When you're building something from the ground up, especially in entertainment, not everything happens on your timeline. You have to be willing to learn, adapt, surround yourself with the right people, and keep moving forward. I started this journey in 2024, and there were plenty of opportunities to rush things or settle for less than what I envisioned. But I knew the project deserved the time and attention necessary to give it the strongest possible foundation. Sometimes staying motivated means reminding yourself why you started in the first place.

At its heart, Power of Attorney: Atlanta is about more than attorneys, legal cases, luxury lifestyles, or successful businesses. It's about the people behind the professions, the relationships they build, the challenges they face, and what it really takes to succeed in a competitive industry. I wanted to create something that was entertaining, authentic, and different, while giving audiences access to a world they may think they understand but have never truly experienced from the inside.

I'm incredibly proud of what we've started building, and I believe in every single person in this cast. They are talented, dynamic individuals with stories that deserve to be told. My hope is that when audiences finally meet them, they'll see what I've seen from the beginning: a remarkable group of people who have the personalities, passion, and presence to make Power of Attorney: Atlanta something truly special.
