Attorneys you can trust to fight for you. Experienced and aggressive representation you can count on. Our firm was formed in 1983 by David Sher and Mark Cummings, two ambitious trial attorneys. In 2003, we became Sher, Cummings and Ellis when John Ellis, a renowned medical malpractice litigator, joined the firm. Today we continue to practice in the heart of Arlington, helping people from all walks of life with their legal struggles. We are a firm of four attorneys, and practice in Northern Virginia, primarily in the counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William, as well as the Cities of Alexandria and Manassas. We also practice in the District of Columbia and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. Both David Sher and Mark Cummings are AV rated by Martindale Hubbell, and have been selected yearly for Super Lawyers recognition since 2007 and 2008 respectively. We are committed to providing high quality legal services, and treat our clients like they are family. As a result, most of our work is referred by previous clients. Hire the lawyers who teach other lawyers how to practice law. Mark Cummings has taught Virginia Practice, Virginia Remedies, and Health Law at George Mason University Law School since 2000. David Sher served as Chair of the Arlington Bar Association's Continuing Legal Education Committee, and was awarded special recognition for his outstanding service.
