Simply the Best

I strongly recommend Attorney Brian Simoneau. In my opinion and as someone who has had other legal counsel prior to hiring Attorney Simoneau, Attorney Simoneau is the absolute best attorney for this type of situation you may find yourself addressing. My particular case was very complex. My out...come was the best I could have hoped for and would not have been possible without Attorney Simoneau and his experience with these types of legal matters. He is truly outstanding and extraordinary. He is fearless and tireless. The many years of expertise that Attorney Simoneau possesses is truly a benefit to you and your case. He is always prompt in his response to your questions. He understands the nuances of how the law impacts all types of situations. He is straightforward. He has a solid reputation as being fair and is highly respected by all professionals in his field. He cares about you as a person. He cares about justice. He will fight for your rights and work at obtaining the best possible outcome. He is the 'gold standard' of attorneys in this field. I am truly thankful and grateful to Attorney Brian Simoneau for representing me. If you want the best... hire him.

IID VIOLATION HEARING

I cannot express enough gratitude to Brian Simoneau for the exceptional service and dedication he provided throughout my case. From the very beginning, Brian treated my situation as if it were his own, and his compassion and professionalism were evident in every step he took. What stood out to me ...the most was his genuine approach — he immediately took on my case without demanding any upfront payment. He sent me a payment link only when I felt comfortable and had done my research on him, which truly spoke to his transparency and trustworthiness. Brian didn’t waste any time. He swiftly prepared an affidavit for me to sign and went above and beyond in requesting multiple BRAC reports from the company that services my IID. He meticulously gathered all the necessary evidence and built a solid defense on my behalf. During the entire process,both my family and I were in a dark place, feeling depressed and hopeless. I didn’t know where to turn, especially with the looming threat of losing my license for 10 years. But Brian was a guiding light, helping me navigate the legal complexities and providing me with the assurance I desperately needed. Thanks to his expertise and unwavering commitment, he was able to get my case dismissed at the DMV hearing yesterday 3.4.2025. I know that if I had tried to handle this myself, I would have lost, even though I was innocent. If you are about to lose your license and can prove your innocence to Brian, he will have your back and win your case.

Responsive Kind and Knowledgeable

Attorney Simoneau helped my mother with an immediate threat medical suspension. When we first contacted him, he was incredibly understanding and responsive to our situation. The incident in question was a minor accident that resulted only in vehicle damage, with no injuries, so he recognized that the... immediate threat suspension was an overly severe response. Attorney Simoneau took on our case and successfully arranged for us to appear before the Board of Appeal to seek the reversal of my mother’s license suspension. Throughout the process, he and his secretary were very kind and kept us updated via email. In the end, he convinced the Board of Appeal to reinstate my mother’s license, on the condition that she pass a competency test. Attorney Simoneau is extremely knowledgeable and excels at what he does. If you ever need legal assistance with a driving-related incident, he is the go-to attorney to help guide you through the process.

Review

After several unsuccessful attempts to reinstate my license with the BOA I contacted several law firms. The Law Office of Brian Simoneau was the one I chose for several reasons. I spoke to Brian directly on my first call and his assistant Maria made several follow-up calls. On the day of my call with... the BOA I had difficulty connecting and the receptionist (whose name I did not get) was very responsive and got a message to Brian immediately. The BOA, for lack of a better term raked me over the coals. Brian followed up by describing me in a very positive light, highlighting my achievements and work history. I was no longer a list of infractions-many dating back over ten years. He was assertive, diligent and professional. I would highly recommend him. Thank you, Brian, Maria and the receptionist!

Kind and Helpful Lawyer

I grew up in Massachusetts, but moved out of state over thirty years ago. I had a complicated situation in my current state, however because Massachusetts was my home state, where I originally obtained a driver license, which was suspended and revoked, for speeding and driving on suspended/revoked, a...nd never completely resolved, I thought I needed to retain a Lawyer to help me fix my problem in Massachusetts. I found Brian by doing a Google search using a key word search of (Massachusetts, Suspension, Reinstatement, Lawyer), as well as a few others. I called and left a voice mail for Brian and three other Lawyers. Brian was the only one who called me back the same day. (I liked that very much). After speaking with Brian, he shared some of his thoughts, and said he would research the details and get back with me in a few day. I immediately offered to pay a retainer, but he said he would like to wait until he figures out what is going on. In the meantime, I had scheduled a telephone hearing with the Massachusetts RMV. I received a call from a Hearing Officer a few days after speaking with Brian. The Hearing Officer actually decided on removing all holds on my license and authorized the reinstatement of my privileges, after I paid six hundred dollars in fees. A couple of hours later, I received a detailed email from Brian. He had discovered what my problems were. He outlined how he could represent me with a quoted retainer of fifteen hundred dollars, plus the reinstatement fees. I replied, asking him to please call me to discuss it. He did. I explained what happened when I had the phone hearing. As it turned out, I didn't need a Lawyer to represent me. I felt a little guilty for Brian doing the research to help me without receiving a payment from me. I offered to compensate him for the time he put into my situation. He said it wasn't necessary and declined. Brian was very kind.
