Honest, competent, hard-working

Mr. Cummings represented me in a commercial case from initial attempts to collect on an overdue invoice through a successful jury trial. You've heard of the good Samaritan? Well, Steve is the good attorney: honest, competent, and hard-working.

Outstanding Performance of Stephen Cummings Law Firm

Stephen Cummings law firm has provided us efficient, trustworthy, completely responsive and EFFECTIVE services handling a complicated set of issues involving courts, other attorneys, brokers and international corporate officers. Mr. Cummings diligently pursued resolving the issues in a 100% satis...factory manner on a settlement agreement that - for over two years - had been deemed uncollectable by our previous attorney. As a result of his efforts, over the past several months, Mr. Cummings successfully collected a substantial sum of money for us. Additionally, he recently negotiated a new agreement for payment of the remainder due (the first two of these payments have already been received promptly). Throughout, Mr. Cummings has been personally involved in a very effective fashion. (His office staff is courteous and knowledgeable as well.) Of the several attorneys we have worked with on this matter, the services provided to us by the Cummings law firm have been exceptionally effective. We feel fortunate to have Mr. Cummings representing us Fred Villella

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Several years ago Steve and I represented co-defendants in a complex real estate matter. I enjoyed working with Steve, who I found to be knowledgeable, thoughtful and a zealous advocate for his client's interests. Steve always did what he said he would do when he said he would do it. Steve and I have stayed in touch over the years since the case was resolved and it's always good to hear from him. Steve is also possessed of a marvelous sense of humor."

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.
