ORLANDO, Fla. -- Prominent Orlando attorney Mark NeJame is getting involved in the search for Haleigh Cummings.

NeJame said the missing girl's family asked him to help, and he then asked missing child advocate Tim Miller of Texas EquuSearch to work with him.

NeJame and Miller also were involved in the search for Caylee Anthony, whose remains were found in December 2008 in Orange County. Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, is charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death.

Haleigh Cummings, 5, was reported missing from her home in Satsuma in February, and no trace of the girl has been found. A $35,000 reward remains available for her return.

In a news release, NeJame said he plans a news conference on Monday with Miller and the family.

Putnam County Sheriff Investigators say Haleigh was kidnapped early on February 10th.
The last person to see her was her father's girlfriend, now wife, Misty Croslin, who placed the 911 call alerting police to Haleigh's disappearance.

Though authorities still have no suspect in the case, police say the Cummings case is not yet cold. A gathering of various law enforcement agencies on June 5 determined that there are still leads to follow up on. If you have any information on Haleigh's disappearance, please call 911.

Search for missing Haleigh Cummings to get help from attorney Mark NeJame, EquuSearch

High-profile attorney Mark NeJame announced today that he and the non-profit search group Texas EquuSearch will help the family of missing 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings.

NeJame, EquuSearch founder Tim Miller and the Cummings family will hold a press conference in Orlando on Monday to talk about their plans to proceed with the search.

Haleigh has been missing from her Satsuma home since February.

NeJame's office said he was contacted by Haleigh's relatives to help find the missing girl. The lawyer reached out to Miller, whose group helped search for Caylee Marie Anthony in Orange County.

NeJame once represented Caylee's grandparents.

Well, Maybe, just maybe, someone is going to do something to find this little girl.

Keep in mind, Tim Miller was already there once and went away. He never did give the reason WHY he left. I'm glad to know he's back helping again as well, but I would still like to know why he left the first time.

I hope the volunteers don't get bad treatment, but I've heard of people going down there to help with Haleigh's search and getting met with hostility. Hopefully Tim and his team are treated well and allowed to search.
