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-...

Replied last April 24, 2024Nicholas - 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.

Replied last December 29, 2022Kyle: 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

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...

Replied last September 23, 2022Rocky: 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.

BEWARE HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE
I hire this unprofessional attorney to rectify the suspended noticed. I was never in the state and offense happened 35 years ago. He was the WORST UNPROFESSIONAL I have ever dealt with. $1500 dollars and nothing completed.
Brian Simoneau
Replied last May 04, 2022I am really sorry that you had a negative experience. I believe that I did exactly what you hired me to do and that you expected me to pay your driver's license reinstatement fee, which is outside of the scope of the services that I provide.
