Our mission is to help people and treat clients like family, and we stand ready to help you on your injury claim or criminal case. And the fact is, people need experienced, dedicated legal help with auto accident, personal injury & wrongful death claims, and with criminal & DUI defense. Whether you are searching for a personal injury lawyer in Newnan, GA, a car accident lawyer, a wrongful death attorney, or a criminal defense attorney in Newnan, GA, The Cummins Firm provides dedicated, experienced legal representation and is here to help.

After an accident the at-fault parties and careless drivers are aggressively represented by insurance companies and their teams of claim adjusters, investigators, and attorneys, all of whom are working toward one goal, to protect the at-fault party and the insurance company’s money. Meanwhile, the innocent injured people are trying to deal with pain & suffering, doctor’s appointments, rehabilitation, surgery, expensive medical costs, insurance claims, damaged vehicles, lost time at work, lost income, and worry about the future while trying to get back on their feet again. These people need help when they are facing the insurance companies and their defense teams who are more dedicated to protecting their billions of dollars than helping the people they hurt. As your trusted personal injury lawyer and car accident lawyer in Newnan, GA, The Cummins Firm is here to fight for the compensation you deserve. We have handled auto, truck, and motorcycle accident cases for our clients for over 30 years, and have gotten good results and good compensation for our valued clients, even in cases that some lawyers considered too complicated, too difficult, or too much of an uphill battle against the insurance teams. At The Cummins Firm, we stand ready to fight for you. Call us and we’ll prove it. The Cummins Firm also represents people who are facing a criminal charge or DUI case. Georgia citizens are entitled to justice, and entitled to be treated fairly when they are accused of a crime. The State of Georgia is vigorously represented by law enforcement, professional investigators, and prosecutors. The criminal justice system is not always fair to the accused citizen unless they have their own lawyer, an experienced, dedicated criminal defense attorney who thoroughly reviews every aspect of the case, looks under every rock while examining the state’s evidence, and aggressively defends the citizen and protects their rights to be treated fairly & justly.

D. Scott Cummins has over 30 years of experience in criminal & DUI law, and previously served as a Prosecutor of 2 courts and as a Judge of 4 courts. His experience on all three sides of criminal law, along with his work ethic & dedication to his clients, helps clients get treated fairly by the legal system and put the charge behind them. Many people are innocent and need help proving it. Others may be guilty of one criminal charge, but not the many additional charges levied against them by the state—and they need help proving that, too. There are many mitigating facts that need to be told about their side of the story, and they deserve a second chance to move forward with life.

At The Cummins Firm, we help people get the fair outcome they deserve after a criminal or DUI charge. If you need a DUI lawyer in Newnan, GA, a drunk driving defense attorney, or a criminal defense lawyer in Newnan, GA, we can help you, call us and we’ll prove it.

About Me

Early in his legal career Attorney Cummins had several years experience serving different courtrooms as a Prosecutor in the morning, a Defense lawyer in the afternoon, and a Judge at night — all on the same day. This experience was unique and invaluable training for Mr. Cummins' law practice, as it gave him insight into how “all three sides“ handle a case. This well rounded courtroom experience helps Mr. Cummins level the playing field in our legal system and get justice & fairness for his clients' cases, a cause which Mr. Cummins remains dedicated to both personally and professionally.

Outside the courtroom Mr. Cummins enjoys trips to the beach, playing guitar, and a good burger or pizza — not necessarily all on the same day. Mr. Cummins is happily married to Michelle, who worked for years in Coweta County as a dedicated High School Counselor and is an incredible Wife, Mom & Chef. Scott is also the proud father of son John, who is studying engineering at College, and playing guitar at a level that Mr. Cummins can only hope to achieve someday — as the old saying goes, practice, practice, practice. Mr. Cummins enjoys Life, and the Law, and treats clients like family and is glad to help them resolve their cases and move on with their lives.
