Legal services, tailored to you
Empowering individuals, businesses and communities with trusted legal services across key areas of law. At Cummings Attorneys, we don’t just provide legal advice — we offer strategic guidance to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Legal Debt Collection
Our legal debt collection service is designed to assist clients in recovering outstanding debts through thorough, lawful and strategic means. We manage the full process—from securing Acknowledgements of Debt (AOD’s), initiating court proceedings and instructing the sheriff for enforcement, to negotiating payment plans when appropriate. While the path to recovery can be lengthy, our experience ensures consistent and effective outcomes. More often than not, we succeed in recovering not only the full debt but also legal costs and fees. Our clients value the diligence and persistence we apply to every matter, resulting in a track record of satisfied, well-supported recoveries.
Conveyancing
Our conveyancing and property law services are designed to streamline every stage of property transactions for both individuals and businesses. We handle everything from drafting sale agreements to managing property transfers, bond registrations and lease negotiations. Whether you are buying your first home or managing a commercial development, our team ensures that your interests are safeguarded and all legal requirements are met efficiently.
Notarial Services
We offer a full suite of notarial services, including the preparation and authentication of documents required locally and abroad. From antenuptial contracts and notarial deeds to affidavits, powers of attorney and apostille certifications, our notaries ensure all documents meet strict legal formalities. We assist both walk-in clients and businesses with dependable, legally recognised certifications.
