Extremely, Thankful to have found and hired Mark Cummings. With his guidance, his connections, and traffic law skills, he saved my daughter from Jail time. My daughter received a speeding/reckless driving ticket in Arlington. We are from Pennsylvania and originally hired a different lawyer that did not prepare and guide us for our first appearance in court. She ended up in jail. After posting bail and appealing the jail sentence, we knew we needed a better lawyer. We hired Mark Cummings! Mr. Cummings found errors from the original trial and helped us appeal our daughters conviction. He and his staff where always available for consulting and representation. There was an incident where a court date change was unclear and he assured us that his staff would be at court to represent and fix the date. He was pleasant, professional, and easy to talk to. He prepared my daughter for her day in court and successfully appealed my daughters conviction. I would not hesitate to hire Mr Cummings as your lawyer. I wish we knew to use him from the beginning.
