Traffic ticket resolved

Nick did a great job resolving a reckless driving charge for me. His approach was pragmatic and effective. He was honest about a realistic result and delivered what he said would be the likely outcome. The cost was fair and on budget with what he quoted me.

Nick is the Best!

I had the pleasure of having Nick Cummings represent me in my traffic accident case. He was very knowledgeable about the law and understood the details of my case. He was informative and transparent and gave me the time I needed to understand my options in my case. Nick had excellent communicatio...n and was quick to respond to my questions. I would recommend Nick again to anyone that needs legal assistance.

Excellent criminal defense attorney in Larimer County

I ended up in a situation where I felt it would be best to have some representation; while I had no prior criminal history, I also had no knowledge of the Colorado judicial system or its workings and was extremely stressed out. After consulting with multiple attorneys, I ended up retaining Nick Cumm...ings and I couldn't be happier about the whole experience. Nick's engagement and level of service throughout the course of my case outweighed my expectations; communication was easy and responses always came quickly, and it was easy to meet with him in person as well. While my case is probably no big deal to his firm, I still very much appreciate the effort he put forth, and for being treated like a client he cared about. I attribute the favorable ruling/judgement for my case to not only Nick's prowess as a criminal defense lawyer, but his personable nature and relationships he has built over time with the DA's office. I strive to never have to need his services again, but should something come up, I wouldn't hesitate to retain Nick as my attorney again.

The best!

Nick is a busy guy, no doubt about it. Just to put that into perspective, from the time I first met him after regular office hours on a weekday night, to the time of my final judgement day, he was always there for me. Not once did I feel that Mr. Cummings was not working hard on my case. While one ma...y receive similar outcomes from any other lawyer, I felt like Nick was different from most, that in a way he actually cared about what I was going through, which definitely showed from the beginning until the end. I realize I was not the only client being defended by this man, regardless I truly believe he worked as hard as possible on my case. Without Mr Cummings I would probably be in jail or worse by now. Hiring an experienced individual in criminal defense DOES make a difference and if you find yourself down in a hole and need help out, Nick will be there for you just as he was for me. Most of all, the costs for the representation of my case were very fair compared to others and he has been extremely lenient on reimbursement for his knowledgeable legal services. I would highly recommend Nick Cummings to anyone facing any type of criminal charges. I can't say thank you enough. The best, .....

Best Lawyer Around!!

Nick Cummings and the team at Cummings & Petrone Law are the best law firm around. Period. Mr. Cummings gave me a free consultation the same day I called; he remembered me and my case by my first name; he answered all of my questions no matter how many times I called or how long I was at my appointm...ent time; he worked hard and diligently at getting me the best results from my case; he was on time and prepared at all of my meetings and court appearances; he was well known and respected with other lawyers, district attorneys, and judges; he made sure I knew to what I was agreeing; he followed-up with me after I was sentenced; and he genuinely cared about my current and future wellbeing. Cummings & Petrone Law was affordable -- they allowed me to set-up a payment plan, and the money paid went into a "fund" which was only drawn from once a specified task was accomplished (i.e. court appearances, discovery reviews, sentencing, etc.). Sarah at the front desk was super helpful and organized, and Joe Petrone was a great team member and gentleman as well. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND Nick Cummings and Cummings & Petrone Law for any and all defense needs.
