To Barry Simons and his extraordinary team of attorneys,
I cannot begin to express how grateful and blessed I am for the outcome of my case. Prior to my incident, I have never had to hire an attorney for anything, and quite honestly, thought I never would have to. In circumstances like these where you admit to being responsible, you are also blindsided and more scared than ever of what lies ahead. At the very beginning of this emotional time, my only concern was to find legal representation. I couldn't tell you what the key was in finding the right lawyer, or even what makes a good lawyer. However, I can tell you that choosing one carefully based on their merits, as well as their reassurance is what I believe led me to find Barry Simons.
Naturally, no promises can be made, and nothing is ever guaranteed, especially for DUI charges. After my incident, I sought further counsel, including consultations with five other firms in addition to Barry Simons to compare and contrast. Barry was the first attorney I consulted with, and he had spent an hour with me going over the possibilities of my case. I had never been in any serious trouble before, and I was financially unprepared for what the fight would cost. But, nonetheless, Barry put me at ease by being honest with my situation and making me feel like I wasn't a criminal. Truthfully, the reassurance of his having my best interest was the big motivator in my final decision to proceed.
Barry and his team used a series of tactics to explore all angles of my case. What could easily be overlooked by anyone else, Barry and his team discovered and examined even further. Their knowledge of criminal defense, as well as their excellent communication and persuasive skills made it possible for every portion of this matter to be considered.
Barry kept me well informed throughout my case via correspondence and explained to me his motives for the steps he and his team were going to initiate, as well as the potential consequences. With such unsettling circumstances, it makes a world of difference to find an attorney that will exceed your expectations. In the end, the DUI charges were dropped and I was given an exchange plea of admitting to a Wet Reckless; I took the plea and the case concluded after 9 months.
I feel as though a huge burden had been lifted off my shoulders, and an enormous weight removed from my heart. I've grown so much from this experience, not only personally, but professionally and spiritually. I have a renewed sense of peace and continue to show my positivity and gratitude every single day. I will never forget your efforts, and know that if a good friend of mine or family member should need assistance in the future, I will refer you, and only you.
With deepest thanks, kindest regards, abundant blesssings to you and yours, and infinite prosperity...

A few years ago I found myself in a position where I could end up spending several years in prison, needless to say I was in serious need of a top notch defense attorney. After a small amount of research it quickly became clear that Barry was the best of the best. That day my family and I went to see him. After I explained what had happened Barry quickly got to work on the case, constantly keeping me informed of everything that I needed to do, and of the progress he was making. Barry, Alan, and the rest of the team were, without question, on point every step of the way. Since then my life has made a 180 degree turn for the better, and I attribute this largely to the incredible job done by Barry and his team in protecting my freedom, and giving me a second chance. Thank you guys. Everything you've done is greatly appreciated.

Peter, with Barry Simons Law Firm, maintained a clear head and kept me well informed of possible outcomes for the different set of circumstances I faced. Not only did he obtain a favorable bargain for my case, he never once wavered at the possibility of future litigation. If you are facing a DUI, the last thing you want is an attorney that is scared to go to trial on your behalf. I felt confident that my representation gave me an advantage over the other side due to his dedication to see the case through.
Because of Peter's persistence and dedication, my license was not suspended, my fines were lowered and the DUI was gone. Fantastic result, fantastic attorney, fantastic Law Firm. A+

Field Test was .12 and station test was .09. I had a prior unrelated charge and was on informal probation when the alleged violation occured. After, 10 months of continous effort the Law Office of Barry T Simmons was able to get my DUI dropped to a "wet reckless" with 3 years informal probation. Im very thankful for the the Team of Lawers at Barrys office for their extra efforts as I didnt end up in jail due to the prior. Total Win in my eyes. Thanks Everyone!

I would recommend Barry Simons to anyone going through the tramatic trial of a DUI. Barry Simons and his staff were instrumental in getting me a fair sentence for my Felony DUI. I couldn't have imagined putting my fate in the hands of any other DUI Attorney. He was extremely thourough and personal in every matter on my case.

Barry,
I had to write you and tell you how thankful and grateful to the services I received from you and your staff during my last legal entanglement. You and your colleagues have renewed my faith in that competent attorney’s, who truly care about the welfare of their client’s and families do exist. .
This was not my first requirement for an attorney. The circumstances this time had far more reaching legal penalties than the prior two. Despite the increased potential penalties, you and your staff were able to better the outcome as compared to my previous two experiences. You truly listened to my wants, needs, and fears.
Your honest and knowledgeable approach towards handling this case gave myself, and family the peace of mind that all of us desperately needed during that extremely trying time. I need you to know that my relationships with family, friends and in the professional world have remained in tact and positive.
Your ability to envision and address issues before they arise are obviously due to your exceptional capabilities, gained from a long standing career and your critical relationships within the legal world.
Additionally, your amazing staff and the size of your practice have squarely placed your reputation in the Orange County area as THE relationship to have when you are in desperate need of an attorney you can trust your immediate entire future with. Unfortunately, this is a rare commodity in today’s legal maze.
Your client commitment became crystal clear to me when you hand delivered important documents that truly led to the incredible positive outcome in my case. When I envision the potential alternative outcomes is when I can sincerely say from the bottom of my heart, Thank You!
With unending gratitude and deepest respect from myself, and family.

Mr. Simons, his associates, and staff, were very through, professional, and personally supportive to my family, to get us past very difficult times in our lives. His court demeanor, preparedness, and unrelenting determination to secure the best possible results with our cases was reassuring to my family, as he guilded us through the legal system. With his extensive background, as well as the support of his in-house associates, and staff, we were given both personal affromation, and confidence, that our cases would result in the best and fairest results available. From Mr. Simons' office we witnessed only complete and calculated devotion to our problems, and even anticpated problems, and had solutions at the ready, when when needed. Without hesitation, I would personally recommend Mr. Simons and his complete office to anyone, and would never think twice about it.
