About Patrick D.
Patrick D. Cummings built his legal training in two Midwestern institutions. He earned a B.S. in Marketing from Marquette University in 2011 and completed his J.D. at Northern Illinois University in 2014. Those years of study set the stage for a career that spans state lines and courtroom work.
After law school he entered practice in the region where he trained. He is licensed to practice in both Wisconsin and Illinois and is listed as a lawyer with the Shannon Law Group. His professional memberships include the American Association for Justice and the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association, affiliations that point to regular involvement in trial advocacy and litigation communities.
Cummings’s background in marketing informs how he communicates with clients and prepares cases. He brings an attention to presentation and messaging to legal matters, skills that translate into written pleadings and courtroom argument. Colleagues describe him as steady under pressure; clients working through contentious matters often need that steadiness as much as they need legal analysis.
At the Shannon Law Group he serves as a lawyer on matters that require courtroom experience and attention to procedural detail. The firm environment has given him repeated chances to test legal theories at hearings and trials. That practical experience has shaped his approach to case preparation: methodical, evidence-oriented, and geared toward clear courtroom presentation.
Outside the office he participates in professional networks tied to trial work. Membership in national and state trial associations keeps him connected to litigation developments and peer resources. He attends CLE programs and association meetings to stay current on procedural changes and trial techniques.
Clients and colleagues see him as part of a team that handles contested matters across two states. He is comfortable in both Wisconsin and Illinois courtrooms and familiar with the local procedural rules that shape case strategy. He balances the demands of litigation with attention to client communication, drawing on his undergraduate training to explain complex issues in accessible terms.
He is currently a lawyer at Shannon Law Group, P.C., practicing in Wisconsin and Illinois and engaged in civil litigation and trial advocacy on behalf of clients.
