"I confidently endorse this lawyer's work and standing in the Legal Community. Laura Simmons has always demonstrated an uncompromising respect and knowledge for the letter of the law and for the ethics of representing a client zealously, while maintaining a sense of fairness and objectivity that is the mark of a wise counselor and advisor. She is one of a few trial lawyers who knows how to fight for her client in Court, whether she is trying a case to a Judge or a Jury. Laura's clients trust her, Judges and Jurors respect her, and many members of the Bar consider her to be " a lawyer's lawyer" - a teacher, mentor, and generous colleague. I recommend Laura Simmons to any person who needs the assistance of a highly qualified and competent civil justice trial attorney."
