It gives me great pleasure to supply this commendation for a man of great wisdom and insight, Mr. Bill Cumming, our attorney who successfully defended our case. I was impressed by his services. He took time to explain legal terminology and methods employed in our case using speech that gave us clarity and understanding. His listening ear is one of his many hallmarks. Mr. Cumming took great care to manifest the road ahead of us and the direction and delays which might confront our course. The case against us was cruel and overwhelming, and stretched over many years. We received first class treatment, always professional and courteous. We also sensed compassion and empathy in just the right amounts. During the long route, Mr. Cumming, in his tireless approach, showed himself to be a strong defender, encouraging us along the way as our case took some turns. Mr. Cumming was skillful, sharp and accurate. Our defender never lost his cool under fire. His task and preparation was entire and thorough. I was impressed to note the late or early hours of his communications. In summary, I am certain that no better services of legal defense could exceed the work of Mr. Cumming. My observations are that he is brilliant and has great insight. We are so very thankful for his efforts and work on our behalf.

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.

Recently, I was faced with the prospect of trying to sell the business I had owned and managed for 35 years to a Fortune 500 company. Having never negotiated such a complex process, I (wisely) decided to enlist the services of a reputable consultant, and his first recommendation was that I should hire a stellar attorney--one with solid experience, integrity, and careful attention to detail. Fortunately for me, he suggested I contact Bill Cumming. In retrospect, I can say that hiring Mr. Cumming was one of the best business decisions I've ever made. He is honest, affable, knowledgeable, accessible, and very efficient. Over the following 12 weeks, he handled all the legal complexities of our negotiations, making certain my interests were protected at every turn, and at the end of the process, produced a very favorable outcome. (He also refunded the unused portion of his initial retainer fee!) Needless to say, Bill Cumming has earned my undying respect and gratitude. I can recommend him and his staff without reservation.

Bill worked with our organization to navigate a successful conclusion with a difficult business issue that had remained unresolved for over a year. He listens carefully, offers wise courses of action aimed at resolution and works to bring parties together with minimal conflict. I enthusiastically recommend Bill!

My wife and I were in the process of selling our family-owned business. Attorney Bill Cumming of Cumming and Associates was highly recommended to us. Bill took the time to explain our options, how this process would work and what it will take to complete our sale. Bill took control and successfully negotiated with the buyers counsel the terms needed to complete our transaction. My wife and I are completely satisfied with the legal guidance and advise we received from Mr. Cumming. He crossed the finish line for us and delivered the successful sale of our company. We would highly recommend Attorney Bill Cummins of Cummins and Associates to anyone in need of legal guidance.

Hiring Bill Cumming was the best decision my husband and I made to complete our estate planning. He discovered many areas of issues that the surviving spouse would have to deal with that we thought were covered in our previous trust. Meeting and discussing our plans with Bill, was truly refreshing. He helped us understand our situation so that our trust would be exactly what we needed/wanted. When we first arrived at his office, we were feeling lost, wary and vulnerable. Those feelings went away quite quickly during that meeting. Thank you, Bill for being there for us. We proudly recommend Bill to many of our friends and for those reading our review.

We hired Bill to help with an eviction notice that we considered unjust. The proceeding took several months to complete. We were concerned that we would have to go to court to settle everything. Throughout the process, Bill was always available. He helped us look for options, negotiate the terms of the lease, and settle the entire case. If we would have had to go to court, I would have felt comfortable having Bill represent us. As a fellow attorney, I would recommend Bill again and was extremely grateful for his representation.

Highly recommend Bill Cumming to assist you with your legal issue(s). Bill’s ability to soften contentious situations are so subtle everyone comes out the victor! Great listener, skilled and resolute in his representation. Thank you Bill

Bill is a good guy. He dosen't overcharge his clients or engage in unnecessary steps.

William Cumming helped us navigate a very complex lease issue with the potential of ending our organization if not handled in a way that gave us options. It could have been a financial death for us. He was patient, thorough, and displayed a tenacity in the negotiation process that helped us survive. As we all know, what is legal is not always "right," and Mr. Cumming forced the organization we were in conflict twitch the treat us much more fairly. I cannot overestimate the value of having a FORCE like William Cumming in your corner.

We are a Canadian company looking to hire a US attorney to assist our company to invest and to open a new bio laboratory in California. We are very glad to have retained Mr. Cumming to handle the whole process and represent us on all corporate matters. His excellent business skills and legal knowledge help save us from a number of potential litigations that could have costed our company a lot of money, time and legal wrangling. Mr. Cumming and his team provides excellent legal and corporate services. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a very capable, cost-effective, trustworthy and reliable attorney.

Bill helped set up a new LLC and the operating agreement for it as well. He's careful, great to deal with and makes sure that his clients are happy with his work. I plan to call on Bill whenever I have legal needs.
