William Reid Cumming

My father and I hired Bill to assist us with updating some aspects of a corporation, and also with updating and straightening out as living trust. Bill was very helpful with both, go us to where we wanted to be. He is very straightforward, honest and his pricing is fair. I have already recommended hi...m to a couple of people and would absolutely do so again in the future. This type of work is about relationships, and having a mutual understanding that the end goal is the priority, and Bill made it easy to rest assured knowing we would get where we wanted to go, without any excess steps. 100% will return and use him again.

I was approached by my primary multi billion $ supplier to purchase my company. I was sure I could negotiate the deal myself and use a local Minnesota attorney for the details. After my first phone conversation I realized I was hopelessly out of my league. I was put in contact with a consultant I ...had worked with previously and he suggested I include Bill Cumming of Cumming and Associates as my attorney. What a home run that turned out to be. My stress level initially was off the charts when I saw the scope of the due diligence required to close the sale. Obviously, Bill handled the legal portions. He proactively told me not to be overly concerned about my legal record keeping because he knew most small business owners didn't have time to keep track of all the details and he could help me with that. The peace of mind that gave me was tremendously comforting. Bill didn't make me feel embarrassed that I didn't always do a good job keeping my corporate minutes up to date while trying to run my company. The finished due diligence product he delivered was well received by the purchaser even though Bill pushed back on some of their proposals. I struggle with legalese and was pleased with the attention to detail Bill paid, to my benefit. All in all, what would have been one of the most difficult experiences of my business life turned out to be remarkably smooth thanks to Bill's efficiency, demeanor and sense of humor.

I had a wonderful experience working with Bill Cummings he was extremely thorough and kept me informed on everything I needed to know. Mr. Cummings also helped me with an operating agreement and was quick to answer any of my questions. I could not have asked for a more professional, knowledgeable a...nd dedicated attorney to work with. He is very personable and has a patient disposition and as I am a first time company owner am truly appreciated of these qualities.
