Excellent Attorney

If you want a dependable and experienced lawyer that knows the ins-n-outs of the legal system, Dan Cummings is your man. He comes prepared and makes his clients feel at ease in stressful situations. He will prepare you for what to expect, make sure that you understand all relevant information pertain...ing to your case, explain your choices and outline the possible outcomes. Dan is also easy to reach and personally responds to phone calls, emails and texts in a prompt manner – something that isn’t the case with every lawyer. He is compassionate, easy to talk to and truly listens to his clients. Watching him in the courtroom, it’s obvious that Dan is a master of his craft, has a deep understanding and knowledge of the law and appears to be well-respected by his peers and other officers of the court. Dan is an effective litigator and an overall nice guy. He has my highest recommendation for anyone in need of a fantastic criminal defense attorney.

Strong

Dan Cummings is a very respectful and honest attorney I've used him in the past and he's won a case for me i recently hired him again because I have very strong confidence in him he protects the Innocence and fights hard against corruption I would definitely recommend hiring him. If you believe you'r...e innocent he thinks you're innocent he will win for you.

Professional, Reliable and Straightforward

Dan is a great listener, honest and very methodical. I know the courts move at a snail's pace for most cases but every step of the way Dan informed me of what was happening and explained all the different roles of personnel involved in my case. He believed in me, researched cases similar to mine an...d was very honest about the possible outcome. He appears to be well-liked and respected by judges and his peers that I have met through various meetings. There are no games with Dan. He is a great guy and attorney.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I had the opportunity to work with Dan on a high profile FCC communications interference matter. He is a highly skilled attorney with an excellent ability to communicate the ins-and-outs of the criminal justice system with his clients and guide them to their best option."

Criminal defense lawyer | Oct 05

Relationship: Family member

"I have worked with Dan on several cases, both as a law clerk for him and as co-counsel in a highly publicized public transit case. In each case, Dan has displayed the creativity and expertise necessary to best suit his client's interest. Equally important, Dan is an excellent communicator - with his clients, juries, opposing counsel, and judges. If a client did not understand something about his or her case, whether it's a possible penalty, auxiliary consequence or anything else, Dan would explain (in terms the client could understand) exactly what was happening and what the effects would be. If someone I knew was facing criminal charges, I would recommend talking with Dan before doing anything else."
