Did not respect me, my case or my time
Do not bother with this man if you want someone who actually cares about your case. He simply cannot communicate effectively or efficiently and he has zero empathy. After I retained him he did not get back to me in a timely fashion. He sent me a long, complicated list of requirements (medical evals, ...
Hi Alex. You drove the wrong way at the entrance of the Sumner tunnel and caused a crash, sending 4 people to the hospital. You were charged with possession of Ketamine, LSD, and Cocaine, DUI Alcohol, Negligent Operation, and multiple civil motor vehicle infractions. You took and failed a breath test. As I explained, I have a very effective 3 step process that I use to win these immediate threat cases. https://youtu.be/ueA8Q7cHjMc?si=ALoBswaaCZ7RDWlK. Effective preparation is the key to success in these cases. You should not have scheduled a hearing until we had the necessary documentary evidence to prove that you are safe to operate and should have your license reinstated. With no such evidence, you scheduled a hearing yourself. That was a mistake. I corrected your error by scheduling a new hearing for you, so that we had sufficient time to prepare. The requirements that you complain about are set by the Registry in cases such as this. Not me. After I spent considerable time and effort on your case, you decided to retain a less experienced lawyer. I retained a reasonable amount of the fee as compensation for my work. I’m really sorry that you had a negative experience with me and I wish you the best of luck with your case.

Doesn't take the time to understand the questions asked
Seems the respondent didn't bother to read the question, and certainly didn't answer it. Unfortunately, Avvo doesn't appear to have an appropriate rating system - you can only state that a response was "Helpful"; there is no other selection to choose, which makes me curious how this guy has a 7.7 rat...

Don’t Hire!!!
This lawyer should be disbarred. I hired him, and when I didn’t rehire him for the appeal, he threatened to advise the board to rule against me, and they did. He should have been arrested and disbarred for his action below also. https://www.boston25news.com/news/25-investigates-assistant-to-...
Nicholas - You hired me to represent you before the Board of Appeal in 2021 and I got your license reinstated. You didn't need to hire me for an appeal because I won your case and you got your license back. In 2023, the Registry suspended your license again and you came to me for help. Since you were a former client, I trusted you and did not require payment in advance. I spent both my time and money on your case. You ignored my calls and emails. You didn’t follow my instructions. When it came time for your hearing, you didn’t provide me with the materials that I had repeatedly requested months in advance. You told me that you were going to represent yourself. My only communication to the Board of Appeal was that I would no longer be representing you. At your BOA hearing, the Registry was represented by a lawyer and you were not. You decided to represent yourself and you apparently lost. I won the case that you hired me for. You did not hire me for the case that you lost.

Horrible
You can call and call with no answers. So one day I decided to call under a brand new number picks up immediately "hi this is Brian simoneau" he will scam you for your money. Everything he can do you can do yourself, not worth your time or money find another lawyer who cares about you. Our last ph...
Kyle: You retained me to represent you before the Registry of Motor Vehicles regarding a California DUI suspension. My engagement letter specifically informed you as follows: "In order to obtain or reinstate a Massachusetts Driver’s License, your right to operate cannot be under suspension or revocation in any other state. You must be listed as 'eligible' in the National Driver Register. I explained to you that I am not licensed to practice law in California and you need clear the NDR Block with the California DMV. I represented you at a hearing on 11/2/2022. You were listed as Not Eligible in the NDR, so we could not proceed with reinstatement. You cannot get a license in Massachusetts if you are blocked in the NDR. California had you blocked. My office is closed this week for the holidays so my receptionist is not there. I'm trying to monitor the phone and voicemail as best I can from home. As I told you before, email is the best way to reach me. I return emails very quickly. If you had emailed me I would have gotten back to you very promptly. Attorney Brian Simoneau

Scam
He will take your money and will not even speak to you and then completely misrepresent you. He is scam don’t let him ruin your life like he did to me go to any other attorney but him. He is the reason I lost my career, which is why I paid an attorney to help me in the first place. I have two masters...
Rocky: I am sorry that you were not satisfied with the services that I provided. I note that the Registry agreed to allow you to reinstate your license. Your 2 masters degrees and behavior analyst certification were irrelevant to your immediate threat license suspension.
