Richard Alan Simmons

Auto insurance claims are inherently adversarial, and you want someone who knows how the game is played. Rich is a veteran hitter who understands companies, adjusters, vendors, etc. His no-nonsense approach coupled with a sense of urgency yields results. He knows the limits allowed by law, which allo...wed me to know what a realistic settlement looks like. His navigation resulted in a settlement that represented the maximum recoverable in a case like mine. I was kept informed and he was always easy to reach.

I highly recommend Richard A. Simmons to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and dependable DUI attorney. He handled my case with professionalism, clarity, and a deep understanding of Maryland DUI law. His background as a former police officer and public defender gave him a unique perspective that clearly... worked to my advantage. Throughout the process, he was responsive, respectful, and always kept me informed. I’m grateful for his guidance and would confidently refer him to others in need of strong legal representation.

I retained Richard Simmons to represent me after I was pulled over for an alleged DUI. I loved his straight, no nonsense approach. He stated his fee up front, I paid it and didn’t pay anything else…and six months passed between my arrest and my court date. At my hearing, he went over the dash cam foo...tage and questioned the arresting officer on police tactics and procedures. He proved, rather quickly , that there was no legal reason to have pulled me over. The state argued otherwise, but the judge agreed with Mr. Simmons and the case was thrown out. As I’ve never had any priors, not even a speeding ticket, this was the most stressful period I’ve experienced in my life. Richard literally lifted a massive weight off my chest. He shoots straight with his clients AND in the court room. Watching him work his expertise in the court was amazing. He knows his stuff. I would highly recommend retaining Richard Simmons should you need legal help.

Richard was recommended to us by another attorney, due to his strong reputation for cases like mine. We hired Richard to handle my case based on this recommendation. My case was seemingly impossible to get a positive outcome. Richard understood the situation, laid out a clear and solid plan th...at would not only help my standing in court, but also helped me grow as an individual. He always conveyed a positive attitude and provided me with our status details, whether it was good news or bad. Richard had a game plan ready to address all scenarios the prosecutor could play out. He was ready. We faced an aggressive prosecutor, but Richard was very skillful throughout the hearing. He has a clear and immense understanding of the law, the courtroom, and the opponent. I felt very confident with Richard defending me. I ended up with the best possible outcome. Richard understands bad things can happen to good people, and his goal is to get you back on track. My family and I are very happy Richard represented me. I would highly recommend Richard Simmons if you ever need solid, professional representation. Hands down, the best!
