William B. Mann, VI

I truly appreciate Atty. William Mann's legal expertise. From the frist day my mother connected with him for an initial consultation, until the the actual court date, he has never missed a bit! He is so super responsive in all of our emails and questions to my case. He walked us through every det...ail on how we are going to tackle and solve for my reckless driving case in court. Knowing all of the requirements and preparation needed before the trial is really helpful to me. This is my first driving offense and knowing that we can rely on him for support, as we go through the legal process is really a very comforting experience. He had my worries taken away just be being there for me and knowing that I am in great hands. Our sincere appreciation to him and to his partner Atty. Kershner also. We absolutely love the utmost care and partnership Atty. Mann establishes and consistently gives to his clients. I would defnitely hire him! Very strong receommend! Thank YOU so much again!

Ben defended me against a ridiculous criminal charge. He cut through the minutiae, stuck with the facts, and explained everything I didn't understand, which was a lot for me since I had never had to deal with any criminal charges before. He is reasonable and communicates well with others (includ...ing communicating with me clearly and within a reasonable amount of time). There were times I didn't even know what to ask about, but I knew he was handling it. After all, that is what you hire an attorney for! He handled my legal stuff while I went on with my life. No better feeling than that. And when it's time to show up for appointments, he is always on time or early, prepping for you. My case was dismissed!

My charge was not only reduced but completely dropped. Other than the flat fee we agreed to up front, there were no additional fees from the law office or the courts. The case was handled professionally, with quick responses to my questions and an update soon after the case. Speaking of court, I d...id not even have to show up, which felt odd at first, but he assured me that he had everything handled.

I unfortunately have had to retain legal counsel a few more times than I care to admit in my life. I have been burned in the past by lawyers that will take a flat fee and provide a resolution that makes their work load easier, as opposed to looking out for their client's best interests. This was mo...st certainly not the case when I retained the counsel of attorneys William "Ben" Mann, and Caleb Kershner. I can easily call them "the dynamic duo"when talking about representation in Loudoun County. I had contacted Mr. Mann just 6 days prior to my hearing, his response to my e-mail was prompt and professional. He stayed in constant communication with me until he had a full grasp on my circumstances. Mr. Mann gave me an honest evaluation and took the time to listen to my whole situation. It was not black and white to him, he understood the nuances that made my case specific to me, and gave me real expectations, while keeping my goals in mind. That following Monday, he had been booked with another case, since I contacted on such short notice. He sent his partner in his stead, Mr. Caleb Kershner, Mr. Kershner had been fully briefed, and came prepared to the courthouse as if he had done my intake himself. He thoroughly investigated my record, and payments to the courthouse, before stepping into the conference room to talk terms with the prosecutor. I was facing a third driving on suspended, a charge that carried a ten day mandatory minimum jail sentence, a 6 month re-suspension of my license, that I had restored in the meantime, and possibly a violation of my probation that could have resulted in me serving any portion the court seemed fit of the 2 and a half years prison sentence still hanging over my head. With Mr. Kershner's knowledge of Virginia's statutes, and an amazing relationship worth every penny I paid, and more, with the arresting officer and prosecutor, he came out with a deal that ended up with a reduced charge. But that still wasn't good enough for Mr. Kershner, he worried the misdemeanor they offered me could still effect my probation, and after calling my supervising officer himself, and confirming that it may, he went back to the table for me. He came back out with the charge ultimately reduced to a traffic offense, the equivalent of a speeding ticket. There was no jail time, no re-suspension of my license, no misdemeanor on my record, and no effect on my probation! This was an outcome I didn't imagine even in my wildest of dreams of scenarios. I walked into court that day prepared to walk away in cuffs, and Mr. Mann and Mr. Kershner had me walking out of there singing the lord's praises. If I could give this team of young, intelligent, competent, and ambitious attorneys 6 stars out 5, I would. They are worth every penny and more, and I will always recommend them to anyone who I come across that needs legal counsel. If you're worried about paying a large retainer fee for an outcome that will be no better if you walk in there alone, worry no more, and hire Simms Showers LLP, and make sure you ask for attorneys William "Ben" Mann and Caleb Kershner.

Ben is one of the most caring and knowledgeable lawyers that I have ever met. I met him by chance while I was leaving the courtroom after receiving the harshet punishment for failing to appear in court ON TIME for a VERY minor traffic ticket. I was told because I came late, the judge had already ...found me guilty and the only thing I could do now is pay the maximum fines + lose points on my license. The judge and the officer both refused to give me a chance to even speak and explain myself and I was basically kicked out of the courtroom. Luckily for me, I came across 3 lawyers that were standing outside the courtroom, I asked them if there is anything I could do at this point. The other lawyers said "just wait until the judge hears ALL 200 cases before you and try to convince him to give you a continuum" (meaning I would have to wait another 2 hours and the judge may still refuse to hear me out) that did not seem like the best advice for me. On the other hand, Ben suggested a few promising options and he seemed to genuinely care about helping me. By random chance, the client he was with had a trial with the same officer that I was supposed to see. Ben told me to wait a few minutes and that he will be right back (I did not know what I was waiting for exactly but Ben seemed very confident and trustworthy and I made the right choice by waiting) When he finally came back, he found me within a courtroom FULL of people to let me know that he talked to the officer about my case and that the officer decided to lower my punishment to just having to pay court fines and I would not lose any points. When I first approached Ben, it was only to ask for advice because I was helpless. but to my surprise, Ben actually went out of his way to help me and actually ended up acheiving the best results possible in my situation. He VOLUNTARILY chose to help me because he saw how distressed and helpless I was. From the very brief time I spent with Ben I can definetly see that he is a very confident and take charge lawyer and that automatically made me trust him. Not only that, but he is a genuinely caring person who is deeply concerned about his clients and will do anything to help. I went from leaving the courtroom in tears to leaving with a smile on my face because someone cared enough to help me and actually achieved in doing so. I cannot recommend a better lawyer to go with!!
