Criminal Defense

With more than 50 years of combined experience, Cummins & White, LLP’s criminal defense practice group provides aggressive representation for clients through all aspects of criminal cases and regulatory enforcement actions – from the first search warrant of the investigation, through arrest, indictment or filing, to trial or an administrative proceeding. From blue-collar to white-collar crimes, our team has handled cases involving a broad array of allegations and charges.

Common Allegations — Cummins & White vigorously defends our clients charged with felonies or misdemeanors including driving under the influence, domestic violence and spousal abuse, shoplifting, prostitution, assault and battery, drug possession and sales, sex offenses, robbery, burglary, 3 strikes, and homicide.

Financial Allegations — Our team has successfully handled a variety of white collar crimes, including securities fraud, antitrust, environmental violations, tax issues, money laundering and RICO, among others. We have represented institutions and individuals in federal and state criminal cases and in enforcement proceedings before the SEC, FERC, FCC, IRS, and FTB, among others.

Our lawyers are widely respected by judges and adversaries and are known for our aggressive and professional representation. Successful representation is defined by our clients, assisted by a sound attorney-client relationship established at the onset of each case.  Many of our clients are “first-time” offenders. Therefore, we are conscious of the anxiety involved in a criminal offense, no matter how big or small the case may be. We listen to our client’s needs, as well as the needs of their family, and work with them to establish reasonable expectations and positive results.  We are a progressive firm, consistently exploring new and creative solutions to provide the most effective results.
