Double booked clients and missed a court appearance!

My experience with Mr. Simmons and his staff was pleasant until they didn't show up in court. I turned down the public defender only to have my paid attorney not show up because she was in court with another client. Completely forgot about my case! After the mixup, no one called to say anything. Seve...ral calls and a month later when I tracked them down, Mr. Simmons gave me a copy of a bill and said I should not be upset because I had already received a discount. I paid them a fee they asked for. I never requested a discount nor was offered one. I wish they admitted they were unprofessional instead of trying to justify a huge mistake. Mr. Simmons should charge his fee instead of double booking court dates and not showing up.

"Luiz is by far one of the most knowledgeable and dedicated attorneys I know. Whenever I need clarification on a legal issue, or simply another attorney to bounce ideas off of, he has been there with excellent advice. As a former Maryland State Delegate, his inside knowledge of law is unsurpassed. I have seen his interactions with the Courts and his clients and he always handles himself in a dignified and empathetic manner. I highly recommend Luiz."
