It’s a wonderful feeling to know that even in the legal system there’s an increased presence of African American lawyers, bringing equal representation to the courtroom. As managing attorney with The Cummings Law Firm, Lisa Cummings has years of education, government and public service experience, and is devoted to bringing about change and diversity with every breath she takes.

“I’m a Christian and I believe that we should treat others the way that we would want to be treated ourselves,” she explains. “You have to remember that when you’re dealing with people, that’s very important.”

With Cummings and her Atlanta-based law firm specializing in numerous facets of law including DUI, traffic, entertainment, and occasional criminal cases, the Howard University School of Law graduate earnestly believes in practicing a solid work ethic to bring about change. “You have to work to make it in this country or anywhere,” she says. “You have to be able to be willing to work hard and learn, because the laws are very challenging.”

Cummings is certain that all success begins with believing in oneself, and she has demonstrated that belief with a pattern of academic and professional achievement and a strong dedication to helping others.

“Sometimes you’re not going to take the popular opinion, but you have to stand for what is right and always respect other people and also demand respect from others,” says Cummings. - jason thompson
