We got an exceptional outcome in Prince William County, Virginia, from Mark Cummings after a family member faced a traffic citation. Taylor Byrd, Mark's assistant, was very prompt and detail-oriented, and got us quick access to Mark just after the incident. Mark knows all the right questions to ask in these matters and takes great pains to cover all the bases and prepare your case. He is highly experienced and responsive. Mark found holes in how the local constabulary handled the matter. He has good relationships with the legal community in Manassas. If you get to court, he is not a shrinking violet. I compared him to other attorneys that I saw at the courthouse and his performance was head and shoulders above them. We were directed to this firm by other attorneys and the reference was worth its weight in gold. Engage the firm of Sher, Cummings and Ellis without reservation. read more

Did you get yourself into a little pickle? These guys can help. After receiving my very first speeding ticket, I realized it was a whopper. A double whopper with cheese. Virginia cheese. Luckily, one of my best friends and mentor told me that I should speak with Mr. Sher immediately. His firm has represented a number of his friends and colleagues over the years and had helped them out a great deal. Not only is Mr. Sher and his team direct and straight forward, but they are also extremely down to earth and professional as well. Communication was flawless and responsiveness was top notch. Really important for an anxious client! Things worked out just about as well as they could and I really need to thank the folks at Sher and Cumming for that! read more

Sher, Cummings and Ellis - Personal Injury Law Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

When I was charged with a traffic misdemeanor, I was referred by a friend to Sher, Cummings and Ellis, specifically Adam Collins. Adam was very helpful during our impromptu consultation call. As this was my first charge ever, I was extremely nervous. Adam listened carefully to what I had to say and gave me examples of similar cases that he had worked on. This immediately gave me confidence in hiring him as my defender. I've done research on my charge and the outcome wasn't looking favorable. However, it was evident that Adam efficiently performed his due diligence to defend me. Fortunately, I was able to enter into a lesser plea and I am certain that this wouldn't have been the case if I hadn't hire Adam. I highly recommend Adam if you're charged with a traffic misdemeanor similar to myself. read more

Adam Collins was very friendly and super easy to talk to. Great attorney and super helpful. He helped ease a stressful situation and made the process very smooth. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Fall 2013 I was pulled over by Virginia police for a traffic violation. Problem for me was that I had done nothing wrong, in fact I had successfully avoided being part of an accident, only to be rewarded with a ticket. The officer did not want to discuss the issue at all, and dismissed my suggestion that I was not at fault. So, I knew I needed help, I needed a professional to help me sort out my case and make certain I would not be held responsible, and more importantly I would not end up with higher insurance rates because of a wrongful ticket. I found Attorney Mark Cummings at Sher, Cummings and Ellis and he agreed to see me right away. He immediately documented the entire incident and set out to clear my name and defend me in court. When you need legal help, you definitely want someone who knows the law and Mr. Cummings does, but it also helps to have someone seasoned enough to know the players at the Court House and how to get things done. At court it was agreed I was not at fault and I received a very satisfactory verdict. I am confident my very positive outcome would not have been possible without the expertise of Mark Cummings. When you need help with traffic violations I encourage you to contact this firm. I am glad I did! read more

I went to Cummings & Sher for the defense of a misdemeanor. Not only did Mr. Cummings fail to prepare a defense for me in court, he charged me over 12K in research that was not performed. Primarily, the charges were for meetings that led me to believe he was preparing for a case. He also charged me $1500 for an investigator who did nothing other than come to the meetings and advise Mr. Cummings; he certainly did not do an ounce of investigating. The end result was that due to a total lack of preparation, I had no way of defending myself in court. As I believe he was aware of this considering he had done very little to prepare, he encouraged me to take a plea for another crime that as it turns out, I didn't commit either. He led me to believe I was guilty of the second crime in order to get me to take the plea. He also failed to be entirely honest about the plea he wanted me to take on several other points. Given I did not understand my plea, I spent the next 3 days researching what I had pleaded to and requested my plea be withdrawn. He refused to do so, stating that I could not withdraw my plea; also flatly untrue. Legally one is allowed to request to withdraw a plea until judgement- which means if one takes a deferred adjudication, the time period is one year. Mark should have known these laws, should have been prepared for my case, and should have done as I had asked given I was his client, especially considering him I paying him an exorbitant amount to defend me on a petty misdemeanor. I do not recommend this lawyer. read more

If you need a traffic court attorney in NoVA, call Mark Cummings--accept no substitutes! He got my case dropped this morning after I caused a fairly serious accident in which no one was hurt. The court appearance ended with the Judge saying "It's nice to be here, especially when we have good attorneys, like you, Mr. Cummings." It started with me thanking him for coming, to which he replied, "This is what I live for!" He's passionate about helping people, and I'm grateful to be taking driving school. Mr. Cummings graciously allowed me a monthly payment plan and discounted fee I could afford since I am broke, especially since I was referred by a colleague of his. He also got my original court date continued since I couldn't appear that day, and he's going to appear for me a second time after I complete driving school. I've had other traffic lawyers in the past, and he is the best! read more

I recently hired Mark to represent my daughter for possession of an illegal substance while a college senior. This was a very serious offense and our family was extremely nervous about the outcome. Luckily I found Mark and his firm and from the first meeting I knew I had made the right decision. He held our hands through the entire process and we could not be more relieved by the results he delivered. I highly recommend Mark for his professionalism and his counsel. He always responded in a timely manner (which is very rare for lawyers) and his advice was always on target. I hope I never have to use Marks services again but if the need arises, I would not hesitate to contact him. read more

I went to Sher & Cummings 2 years ago for help with an insurance issue. They were recommended by another local lawyer who knows hte local scene well and does not handle the kind of matter I had. Mr. Sher was very reasonable and helpful in reaching a good negotiated outcome with the insurance company. He and his partner are sensible, attentive, and they do not run the meter. I appreciate that. read more

Mark was a fantastic life saver during a horrible family crisis. He met with us at length and talked through all of our options, and checked in on us throughout a very trying time. His advice was excellent. A wonderful resource, Mark also is very generous and kind. read more

Mark is a good guy and a great lawyer. I went to court with a very serious Reckless Driving charge (a 6 point offense), and he negotiated it down to a Ineffective Equipment ticket (a very minor, 0 point offense). He also managed to get my court date moved up 2 months, as I wanted to get past the whole thing. He's definitely one of the more expensive lawyers, but you're paying for his reputation and his connections in the Arlington community. I thought it was worth it, and I'm glad I did. I'm sure I would've paid for it anyway in insurance costs alone. I would definitely recommend Mark to anyone looking for the best. read more

This law firm is absolutely as good as it gets. Mark Cummings and his team successfully represented me in my criminal case. From the first moment I met the team, I felt an instant rapport. I felt they were in my corner, and more importantly, I believe they believed me! Not many people who need attorneys for criminal cases are actually innocent, but this was one of those instances. Mr. Cummings and partner David Sher were both as passionate and incensed as I was regarding the circumstances of my case. Never having had an experience with attorneys, I did not know what to expect, but to say I was "floored" is a complete understatement of the word. They worked like a very well-oiled machine. Mr. Cummings is a rare attorney (from what I hear of attorneys) who keeps in touch, answers calls and emails and made me feel...........safe. Strange word to use for an attorney, but that is exactly how he made me feel - safe. And he delivered. The charges against me were dropped on the day of trial, while sitting in the courtroom waiting for the trial to begin. The work Mr. Cummings and his team, including Mr. Kibble, did for me was invaluable. My entire livelihood was at stake and they took up the mantle and ran with it. They never pulled any punches; they were direct and straightforward, fair and reasonable and extemely personable. I owe them my entire life, and while that may sound like an exaggeration, nothing could be more true. Because of their professional and zealous representation, I won, and Mr. Cummings did it with the confidence of decades of expert experience, knowledge of courtroom procedures, and an arsenal of confidence. ANYONE who needs representation in the entire Northern Virginia area should contact this firm. If there were a 10 star rating system, I'd give them 10 stars. The gratitude that overwhelms me for their persistence and steel reserve is insurmountable. Thank you very very much for your service, time and success! Terry H. read more
