Management Consultant

Luiz Simmons is a highly skilled, and talented attorney with an in-depth knowledge of the Law. Over the past two decades, Mr. Simmons has ably represented me and my family successfully in civil matters. His sense of professionalism is marked by great expertise in the field of Law, and a sense of con...cern for the interests of his clients.

Outstanding!

Mr. Simmons has helped me with several cases in the past although he recently helped me with my child custody case. Thanks to him I have gotten the results I wanted for my baby girl and I. Would I refer him?...YES, would I rehire him?...YES! Best attorney ever!

Satisfied client of Mr. Simmons

I found Mr. Simmons after searching the web and reading, among other things, this website. I definitely do not regret the decision. I had never met him before, and I specifically chose him for my criminal defense case because I work in politics and he has previously served as a legislator. I believed... he would understand how my case could reflect poorly on my boss and my clients, and I was correct. His rates were fair, his staff were helpful and discreet, and he obtained a very good result for me. What else can you possibly ask for out of an attorney? If you work on the Hill or in a similar public position and you need someone you can trust, this is your man. I hope I never have to retain the services of a criminal defense attorney ever again, but if I do, I will be calling him back. I would recommend his services to all my friends and colleagues, both Republicans and Democrats.

Fantastic!!

Attorney Simmons and his staff are absolutely the best. I had a bicycle accident last year that really disrupted my life. I needed and received expert representation which I will always be thankful for.

Honest and trustworthy

I was facing serious criminal charges and I turned to Mr. Simmons for help. Mr. Simmons was always honest with my case and never sugar coded the situation which made me realize he knew what he was doing. I was charged is possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia. Mr. Simmons was able ...to get me a PBJ and shortly after able to get the charges expunged off my record. Best attorney ever.

"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."
