Satisfied Customer

I am grateful for your services from beginning to end. You gave me peace of mind with my daughters’ case. Matters that I would not have been able to handle, you did. I was confident with your abilities and pleased with your honesty. You were professional and polite. It was easy to talk to you and you... ALWAYS returned my phone calls with an answer to my questions or concerns. I am grateful for the referral and I will surely pay it forward by recommending you to any one that’s in need of an AWESOME attorney. Thank you for EVERYTHING. May God continue to Bless you while you continue to be a Blessing to others.

Very dishonest

After hiring Ms Cummings and paying the increased amount she added to handle the easy paperwork that was offered To Me by the state of GA she delayed and lied to me about court dates and conversations with the state. I contacted the courthouse and was able to gather the true information. She is not ...a lawyer. Maybe she passed the bar but not close to being a professional.

Great Attorney and Staff

Attorney Cummings and her staff was very nice and Got the job done!!!! IT was a process, but they didn't give up. I went to Attorney Cummings and staff in the summer of 2021, and they worked diligently on my behalf. Her staff kept in touch with me via email and telephone calls. Her assistant called m...e on thursday to setup an appointment for Monday, when i arrived she gave me the good news, My case was won and its over. I would highly recommend Attorney Cummings and staff.

Messy divorce

After having a lawyer that was not for me, not doing his job for my case, I was referred to Attorney Cummings. From day one, she was professional, direct, informative, and patient. She helped me through my divorce, took her time to analyze my situation and made things happen quickly. Thank you so muc...h for the great communication. If anyone is looking for an awesome attorney, stop looking because Attorney Cummings is a knowledgeable and passionate attorney who cares.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
