A Commitment to Clients

Resolving Issues, Protecting Interests, Achieving Goals

Our Mission

We are committed to advocating our clients’ positions, resolving their issues, providing counsel, protecting their interests, and helping them achieve their goals in a responsive, courteous and efficient manner.

Our Firm

Cummins & White, LLP is one of Southern California’s premier business transaction, business litigation, and insurance law firms, successfully serving clients for more than 65 years. We are committed to resolving our clients’ issues and helping them to achieve their goals in a responsive, courteous, and efficient manner. We do this by offering sophisticated and personalized legal services, no matter how complex the issue may be.

In addition to our expertise in insurance coverage and defense, our transactional practices include business, acquisitions, estate planning, real estate, tax planning, labor and employment, and healthcare.

We also have tremendous expertise in all areas of civil and commercial litigation, including but not limited to disputes in the fields of construction, employment, intellectual property, tax, and third-party liability.

Our Experience

Founded in 1951, Cummins & White has expanded from a two-lawyer firm to our present team of 14 partners and associates with a wealth of knowledge, experience, and leadership in business, insurance, criminal, and municipal law.

Our lawyers have excellent academic credentials from some of the nation’s leading law schools and represent a diverse range of cultural and geographic backgrounds. The firm also has received an AV* rating under Martindale-Hubbell’s peer review rating system.

At Cummins & White, we are committed to providing quality legal services and follow a tradition of vigorous and creative representation.

Our Community

Our attorneys and staff don’t merely work and live in Orange County, they devote their energies, talents, and personal time to local charitable causes and serve on the boards of and represent local not-for-profit organizations. The Cummins & White team also actively participates in bar associations and other professional organizations, frequently serving in leadership roles.

“We were very pleased that Cummins & White handled this complicated (business acquisition) transaction for us. They took care of it on an expedited timeline, listened to our needs, and shepherded us through the deal in an efficient manner and cost-effective basis.”

Andrew Greenthal, CEO, HTKF Holdings

“Cummins & White did an excellent job for us during arbitration, and the firm’s trial experience was evident. Cummins & White was a better advocate in the arbitration than any of the many other lawyers present, and we are very pleased with the financial results.”

Bill Davenport, CFO, Dynalectric

“I was very pleased with the counsel and guidance that Cummins & White provided during this process. This real estate transaction was fairly complicated, involving land and building, personal property, and municipal wastewater discharge rights. The negotiations were time sensitive and detailed. The team at Cummins & White made themselves available to accommodate the short time frame and consistently provided the experienced guidance that I needed to close this deal on time. Their professionalism and attention to detail were a great benefit throughout. I have a great deal of confidence in this team and would recommend them for this type of commercial real estate transaction.”

Tony Harnack, President, Wellington Foods, Inc.
