Brian Cummings
Recovered $45,000,000.00 for my clients in just the past few years
Winning is what matters! Brian has 25+ years of litigation experience successfully handling and trying medical malpractice cases for patients and their families. He has obtained over $45,000,000.00 for his clients in just the past few years, which earned him a lifetime membership in the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum. Less than 1% of attorneys are lifetime members of the Forum. He only takes on select cases so that he can personally handle every aspect of that client's important case. Other firms pass clients and cases off to junior attorneys who the client never would have selected. Brian never does that. Brian's dedication and focus on his clients' matters enables his clients to focus on their daily lives by entrusting the litigation process to him. One recent trial victory was in December 2024 in a medical malpractice case in which the verdict was more than triple the last settlement offer. Brian's trial skills made the difference.
Brian is Board-certified as a Medical Malpractice attorney by the ABPLA. Board-certification is rare and prestigious, including because it is only awarded only after having your trial experience vetted and passing an extensive exam.
He has been selected by SuperLawyers for 11 consecutive years as a plaintiffs' attorney handling medical malpractice and personal injury cases (2015-2025).
Brian has the highest rating available for attorneys from Martindale-Hubbell - AV Preeminent. The AV rating means a lawyer's peers (attorneys/judges) rank him at the highest level of professional excellence. He also has the highest rating possible with Avvo-a 10.0 / Superb rating.
Brian is licensed to practice law in Hawaii, California, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida, and he is admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court, and the United States District Courts in Hawaii and in Tennessee.
