Bill is very professional. Always keeps you updated with your case. He listens very well and is argumentative when need be. If you want the job to be done Bill is the one you want to hire. He manages his time well and is courteous as well.

Best lawyer in Kansas

I got arrested for DUI and I was terrified that my life would be turned upside down. I heard about William Cummings through a friend, and she told me he wouldn't dissapoint. I will never forget my day in court because Bill was on fire at my trial. He made the prosecutor look foolish and he made the... police officers that investigated my case look foolish. I couldn't believe what was unfolding before my eyes....it was if I were in some episode of LA Law! In the end, the judge gave a dissertation on how this was going to change case law in Kansas and he also chastised the police officers for doing a horrible job and not having probable cause before the arrest,, and I was a free man. Thanks Bill.

Bill Cummings

I was having a tough time last year after losing my job, and ended up being charged with dui afterdeciding to drive to see a girl after hanging downtown. I thought I was fine (I only had a couple drinks), but ended up being pulled over (I blew .08 - give me a break). I had to spend the whole night in... jail with people that were absolutely hammered – a homeless guy literally puked. Since I'd been looking for a new job, the last thing I needed was a dui on my record. A friend recommended Bill, so I set up a meeting. It didn't cost anything to just go talk to him, which I really liked since it took the initial pressure off. I don't know if I would have been as likely to go if I knew it was going to cost me. I had to give up my license for a month instead of a year and he got me a diversion so my record stayed clean). My bill was about half of what I was led to expect (from my friend) – so I don't know if my case went more smoothly or he's just gotten quicker/better. All in all, thanks to Bill, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be (minus the night in jail with that disgusting homeless guy).

Bill and his staff kept me informed at all times. His staff is excellent and I never got a recording. His knowledge and experience got me a very favorable outcome.

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.
