He earned the 5 star rating I gave him.
Mr. Simmons really helped my son with his burglary case. My son has been in special needs education from kindergarden thru high school and is easily misled by supposed "friends". Mr. Simmons explained to our son what to expect in court and how to behave. He also let us (as parents) know what to expect and how to address our concerns to the judge. The trial went the best that could be expected and the results exceeded our expectations -- due in a large part to Mr. Simmons' experience and working relationships with the prosecuting attorney and the judge. The judge incorporated our suggests into our son's probation plan and we couldn't have asked for a better response! We were very pleased with how Mr. Simmons worked with our son and how he did not allow our son to mislead himself as to what was really going to happen. My wife and I agree that we could not have picked a better attorney.

Helped me stay out of jail
Mr. Simmons represented me in a case that could have sent me to jail and placed a felony on my record. Throughout the process he made me perfectly aware of what my options were and was very clear on the possibilities. He doesn't sugar coat anything. As a result of his representation, I not only avoided incarceration but I was able to expunge my record after probation. If you need a lawyer, call Butler and Simmons. I'm glad I did
