This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

He knows the Law, but not a great experience

He understands and knows the law, however, he has worked for a state office his whole career, so he doesn't ever have to actually win clients, the state gives them to him. This means he has absolutely no client skills and is frankly... very rude, overbearing, and unenjoyable to work with. He does kno...w the law, but I believe you can get another lawyer that knows the law, and also has good and healthy communication skills. He also did a very poor discovery process and was just trying to win the bid ASAP. Lesson to me, when I hire a lawyer next time... I will just have to sit and make them work through the discovery process before I hand over any money. Drew is very unprofessional and I wouldn't recommend him to anyone.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Andrew "Drew" Cummer for over 23 years in the criminal attorney community. Drew is, in my opinion, one of the best, if not the best, Criminal Attorney in the Sarasota Bradenton area. Drew worked previously for the Office of Regional Counsel as one of the top criminal attorneys. Drew has now gone into private practice in Criminal Law. Drew's knowledge and respect with the Court and local community in Criminal cases is the highest in the 12th Judicial Circuit. I highly recommend and endorse this lawyer."

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.

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.
