Outstanding Family Law Attorney

Kristine Cummings recently handled my divorce case and she and her staff did an excellent job. Kristine's professional knowledge and empathy were extremely helpful during a very difficult time for me. Kristine, as well as her staff, were well-organized, accessible, and always kept me informed throu...ghout the divorce process. I highly recommend their services for Family Law issues

Best in Sacramento

Ms Kristine Cummings is an amazing attorney no words to said how thankful I'm to her, Valerie and Celia for helping me with my ugly divorce. Ms cummins is a strong and forward attorney who really knows the law. Before I hire ms Cummings I talked to different attorneys who promise I would win or gain... a lot but The reason I choose to hire ms Cummings as my attorney was because she was the only one who didn't promise me nothing before really reviewing my case which meant she was honest from the beginning and to me that was very important. My case was a nightmare and ms Cummings and her stuff did the best and I was happy with the outcome I would recommend her if you want the truth to come up she is the right person to hire she is worth every penny

Not a match for me.

Right after my separation I started proceedings. I think Kristine knows her stuff, she's definitely not friendly so don't expect that. You must be willing to drive your divorce process. I was scared, feeling insecure after 2 decades of marriage. I felt chastised after asking for clarification on iss...ues ( and I'm a college graduate!) I needed more advice, I needed someone familiar with El Dorado County and someone who understood divorce on a more human level. Let's put it this way, when I changed attorneys, the new paralegal said, " we are here to help you. We will take care of it." After one consultation I feel confident about the direction of my divorce and well advised from my new attorney. I have spoken with 2 other women who did NOT recommend Kristine. Their comments to me were more about her unfriendly personality. If you need a friendly and supportive attorney this is not the place for you. At 375.00 per hour you can't afford a mismatched attorney/client relationship.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse Ms. Cummings without hesitation. Ms. Cummings is the kind of lawyer who attempts to keep the big picture in focus, while working to resolve individual issues in a rational but assertive manner on behalf of her clients. She seeks honest answers, and she vigorously advocates for her clients in a similarly honest manner, thereby resolving the case, and protecting her clients from kinds of claims that could them to court fines and poor outcomes."
