Highly Recommended Mr. Cumberland

Mr. Cumberland has represented my family for many years. When my husband passed suddenly, Mr. Cumberland and his staff were very responsive and supportive, holding my hand through matters I couldn't comprehend at the time. Without his expertise in the law, and his mannerisms, I could not have made it through such a difficult time, and been able to maintain my dignity. I will always be indebted to him. Mr. Cumberland has helped my family with many different areas of law: Estate Planning, DWI/DUI, Wills/Living Wills, Power of Attorney, Litigation, Family, etc.

Provides Excellent Services

Laurence Cumberland is an Excellent Attorney that I have used over the past 20 + years for many different reasons. I have recommended him to many of my friends who feel the same way after meeting with him as I do. Very professional, very trustworthy and highly knowledgeable. What I like best about Larry is that he keeps you informed on a regular basis! I recommend Laurence Cumberland very highly to anyone seeking personal or business legal advice. I don't think you will ever find an attorney that will work as hard for you as he will.
