exceptional lawyer

I hired Mr. Simmons as my criminal defense lawyer. He was exceptional. He dealt with all my precedings from start to finish. From the beginning Mr. Simmons has always been straight forward and never pushed me to choose something I was not comfortable with given at hand. When I had questions Mr. Sim...mons always answered truthfully of what he knew. If I was not able to get in touch with Mr. Simmons, he always called back in a timely manner. He always kept me and my family informed of what was to come or what could happen. Not only has Mr. Simmons dealt with my case wonderfully but aside from business Mr. Simmons has visited me on multiple occasions while I was incarcerated just too see how I was doing but he has gone above and beyond and took the time to check up on my wife and children as well as my family. Mr. Simmons has been with not only me but those dearest to me to the end. I couldn't be happier choosing the right attorny to handle my case.

Great Attorney

Olaun is a great attorney. He was able to get my rights restored. He was very knowledgeable about this process. He stayed in contact with me throughout the whole process and he had us over prepared for court which made our case a smooth ride. I would recommend Olaun Simmons to anyone who is in nee...d of a good trustworthy attorney. Thanks Olaun!

Great Professional Lawyer / Honest and to the point with remarkable knowledge for any case!

I was refered to Olaun by a close relative of mine in the Woodbridge area, Once meeting with him in person just by how he walked in the room and aknowledged my father and then me I knew this was the right lawyer to help me with my case. First impressions always go a long way. After days of discussion... and information overlooked he determined the best and worst case scenarios and also noted many possible steps we could take in order to prove my case on my behalf due to insufficient evidence and other measures taken by Olaun. This professional knows what he is doing and if I went with a different lawyer my life wouldnt be the same. Olaun listens to any case dilligently and makes sure whatever individual comes to him knows he will go to hell and back just to win and get the best possible outcome. You will not be dissapointed. Thanks again Olaun!

Best, most honest, most trustworthy lawyer I have ever encountered.

I first met Mr Simmons when he was appointed by the court to represent my nephew, I have never met a more dedicated lawyer, even tho he was appointed he did everything in his power to represent this young man, I was so impressed with Mr Simmons that I hired him to represent my grandson on a traffic m...atter. Mr Simmons will always be my choice for a lawyer whether he can help me with my case or he has to refer me to another lawyer, I respect his opinion about other lawyers, and I feel that he would do anyone justice whether you can pay him or not. I have also encountered other court appointed lawyers for friends or relatives and without a doubt Mr Simmons is THE best lawyer in Northern Va, if not the entire country.

A Great Detailed Defense/Criminal Lawyer

I have had a few bad lawyer experiences to say the least. Then I hired Mr. Simmons for an out of county criminal trial. His attention to detail, understanding of law and compassion for his clients puts him an elite category among area lawyers. He delivers on his promises and doesn't mislead his clien...ts. He is extremely professional at his craft and continued to surprise me throughout my legal issue. Whatever type of issue legally you are facing and need someone to go to bat for you in your pursuit of freedom. Their is only one name that should come to your mind: OLAUN SIMMONS! I can honestly say that I would never use another lawyer beside him.
