Scott Cummins provided legal advice and guidance to my daughter after she was struck broadside by another driver. The at-fault driver attempted to pass a tractor trailer truck illegally. This moment of poor judgment caused an accident that left my daughter with both serious back and head injuries. These injuries are traumatic enough that she will need to deal with the pain and recovery for years to come. The Stemberger & Cummins Law Firm made sure the Insurance Company of the at-fault driver paid for all past and future medical expenses by pursuing a satisfactory settlement. I found Mr. Cummins to be experienced, responsive, knowledgeable and honest as he dealt with my daughter’s needs. I would highly recommend Mr. Cummins to anyone seeking legal representation that is fair, honest and will keep your best interest at the forefront. Mr. Cummins’s level of expertise and professionalism surpassed even my greatest expectations. Aside from his obvious skill and remarkable success rate, Mr. Cummins is genuinely committed to his clients. With each challenge and circumstance that arose, he gave practical advice and supplied the necessary information to allow my daughter and I to make informed decisions. He guided us through the long and daunting legal process, yet never lost his sense of humor or patience despite our frequent inquiries. He provided a support system and served as a mentor to my daughter as the case weaved its way through the legal and medical process. I requested of him early in the development of this case that I expected the same level of representation as he would give to his own daughter. Mr. Cummins exceeded my expectations. I believe lawyers like Mr. Cummins are truly and exceptionally rare. It goes without saying, I would never hesitate to use or refer his outstanding services.

Scott was referred to me by a close friend and what a great referral this was… I couldn't have asked for a more personable, considerate, skilled, knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate attorney. My Son had two felony drug charges which Scott was able to get reduced so that my Son will not have felonies on his record. He also had a DWI charge and Scott was able maintain some limited driving privileges for him. Scott is very, very well connected in Coweta County and knows the key players. If you have a need for a criminal defense attorney in Coweta County, SCOTT CUMMINS IS YOUR MAN!! I guarantee you will be pleased with his service and with him as the choice for your attorney.

After being charged with DUI a friend of mine referred me to Scott. Scott was very transparent and HONEST from the very beginning which was refreshing. He did not over promise and under deliver instead he under promised and over delivered! The staff was a pleasure to work with as well and availible anytime I needed them. When it was all said and done Scott was able to keep me driving and get my charges dropped! I do not have a negative thing to say about my experience as a whole! Thank you Scott and Team!

We hired Scott Cummins to help us when our son was arrested on a burglary charge. He was 17 at the time and terrified-he thought his life was over and he felt hopeless. Scott worked extremely hard for us right from the beginning. He was diligent, paid attention to every detail and was persistent in negotiations with the DA’s office-our son’s case went on for almost two years. As a result of his efforts, we received a dismissal (our son was facing up to ten (10) years in prison). Scott was always thorough and professional. He never gave up on our son and for that we are eternally grateful. We HIGHLY recommend Scott. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I was arrested on a felony terroristic threat charge ( a serious charge) and a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge. The DA was unwilling to drop the felony charge and would not budge. Mr. Cummins worked tirelessly in negotiations with the DA. He also did extensive research and was able to find a law that clearly showed I had not committed the act of terroristic threats. The end result was the DA dropping the felony charge and me being charged with misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct with probation, no jail time and no community service. If you or one of your family members happens to find yourself on the wrong side of the law do yourself a favor and at least talk to Mr. Cummins. After talking to Mr. Cummins you will feel better about everything. Mr. Cummins will not rest until he gets the best possible outcome for your particular case. I cannot stress enough that if you are facing charges you need an attorney that is going to fight for you and stand by your side and that is what Scott Cummins does.

Recently my daughter was arrested with a serious felony charge in Coweta County and the DA was NOT willing to negotiate with a plea that did not include incarceration. We hired Mr. Scott Cummins to represent this case as I had previously retained his service and I knew how professional and knowledgeable Mr. Cummins is. We were dealing with a situation that was going to effect my daughter and my granddaughter's life terribly if Justice wasn't served and the Judge rule on our behalf. Mr. Cummins left NO stone unturned in this case and he fought as if we were blood kin in the courtroom. Mr. Cummins worked vigorously trying to negotiate with the DA but the DA wouldn't reconsider. Mr. Cummins suggested we take the case in front of the Judge and we trusted him 100% with this decision. My daughter walked out of the court room with her family that day and there is no way that would have been possible without Scott Cummins. If you're reading this review please know if you are dealing with a serious situation, save yourself a lot of heartache and confusion - meet with Mr. Cummins ONE TIME and you'll know exactly what you need to do. He will take the worry and weight off your shoulder's and he will take charge in a very professional manner. He is the Elite of the Elite Group of Super Lawyers!!!

Scott Cummins handled my sons trafficking case. Instead of $200,000.00 in fines and 15 years in prison, Scott had it reduced to a $4,000.00 fine with probation-NO prison. Scott promised me he would do everything in his power to keep my son out of prison and he is a man of his word. Lynn

I was not from the area in a recent case and had been referred to Mr. Cummins. He and his helpful staff including fellow attorneys were incredibly great to work with. Questions were always answered and quality guidance given. This is a experienced team that is methodical and organized which resulted in quite a favorable ruling as my DUI was reduced to a lesser offense. I highly recommend this firm without hesitation for any DUI or criminal case.

I chose to hire Scott for my personal injury case, after a recommendation from a friend and I am so glad I did. He was upfront and thorough about everything the case could possibly consist of during the first consultation and he kept at it diligently until the end. Scott's attention to detail throughout the case and his due diligence, really helped me through a lot of anxiety because I knew he was still working hard for me. If you want an attorney who will go the extra mile for you, hire Scott Cummins. You will be glad you did!
