This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Civil lawsuit, injunctions

We hired Mr. Simmons for a civil lawsuit. When we started the suit we were not sure as to how intricate the case would evolve as both his clients were 85 & 83 at that time. However, Mr. Simmons took the time to elucidate the broad spectrum of what will be involved. He was patient and explained the le...gal process in a modest manner so as my aunts would understand and comprehend. Throughout the legal proceedings, he attributed the same demeanor as he did from the first day we met. He was very meticulous and we were captivated in how he won every motion. His cross examination of witnesses were just engulfing. Subsequently, he was proficient to win the case. The joyous smile on my aunts’ face was invaluable. We would unquestionably recommend his services. He is incredibly experienced in a wide range of legal matters. Thank you for all you have done for us. Isaac, Zoila, Sally

Professional that gets RESULTS

Mr. Simmons is one of the BEST attorneys I know. I have personally used his services with a dispute with a contractor and have recommended him to many friends who are in need of a savvy attorney from litigation to divorce. If you are looking for an attorney that is trustworthy, honest, creative and y...ou need results, look no further, Mr. Simmons is your attorney!

Very Satisfied

Simmons & Associates has represented our legal issues with the outmost professional attitude. From the very first meeting they presented possible outcomes. Good or bad it was laid out in front of us. All their staff is extremely attentive, knowledgeable and experienced from the administrat...ive staff to Mr. Simmons. Going through litigation is an extremely unnerving process. It was very reassuring that our concerns were answered by everyone in the team. Although not having a high dollar claim we were treated like a multimillion dollar account. As far as we are concerned our legal matters will now be handled by Simmons & Associates.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"During the ten or more years I have known Mr. Simmons, I have learned the following -- his considerable skill at courtroom advocacy and legal analysis is only outpaced by his ability to quickly grasp the nuances of the motivations of multiple parties, and effectively negotiate the optimal outcome for his client. His combination of intellect, assertiveness, and passion for his clients’ needs make him the lawyer I would rely on for complex litigation."
