Cummings & Cummings - Fort Worth, TX
Cummings and Cummings is a premier Fort Worth criminal defense practice founded in 2006, pairing decades of former prosecutor experience to aggressively defend individuals facing misdemeanor and felony accusations across North Texas.
Decades of Former Prosecutor Trial Power in Downtown Fort Worth
When you are accused of a crime in Texas, the state brings vast investigative resources and dedicated prosecutors against you. Located on Main Street in Downtown Fort Worth, Cummings and Cummings provides assertive, trial-tested criminal defense representation. Founded in 2006, the firm features attorneys Fred L. Cummings and Eric Cummings, both of whom previously served as criminal prosecutors before dedicating their careers to defending the constitutional rights of accused citizens.
Attorney Fred Cummings spent fifteen years as an Assistant District Attorney with the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney Office, prosecuting high-profile felony cases and gaining invaluable knowledge of local judicial procedures. Attorney Eric Cummings served as a prosecutor with the Dallas County District Attorney Office, developing formidable trial tactics in busy felony courts. This prosecutorial background enables the firm to anticipate government strategies, identify flawed police work, and exploit evidentiary weaknesses to their clients advantage.
Aggressive Fort Worth DWI and Intoxication Defense
Intoxication arrests often rely heavily on subjective police observations and complex technical testing. Working with seasoned dui/dwi defense lawyers is essential to challenging breathalyzer accuracy and field sobriety procedures. When motorists need a lawyer after being stopped in Tarrant County, Cummings and Cummings provides immediate, thorough intervention.
The defense team analyzes police dashcam and bodycam footage, evaluates calibration records for breath test machines, and challenges whether police had reasonable suspicion for the initial stop. Key drunk driving defense capabilities include:
- First-time DWI, repeat offenses, and felony intoxication assault or manslaughter defense
- Challenging standardized field sobriety test administration and officer bias
- Contesting blood test warrant validity, blood vial storage, and laboratory contamination
- Representation at Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearings to save driving privileges
- Occupational driver license assistance and ignition interlock compliance
Defense Against Drug Offenses, Theft, and Property Crimes
Texas narcotics statutes impose harsh penalties, even for first-time possession. Serving as tenacious drug crime defense lawyers, the firm defends individuals charged with possession, manufacturing, and distribution of controlled substances. The attorneys investigate whether police conducted unconstitutional searches of vehicles or residences in violation of the Fourth Amendment, filing motions to suppress illegally obtained contraband.
Additionally, the firm acts as dependable theft and burglary defense lawyers, defending clients facing allegations of shoplifting, grand larceny, identity theft, credit card fraud, and residential or building burglary.
Violent Crime Defense, Assault, and Record Expunctions
Allegations of violence require careful handling and immediate protective action. As skilled violent crime defense lawyers, the firm defends clients accused of simple assault, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and domestic violence. Furthermore, the firm assists clients as traffic ticket lawyers for municipal warrants and handles petitions for expunction and non-disclosure orders to clear criminal arrest records.
