Ethical, Communicative and Highly Professional, One of the Best Attorneys in the Northern VA Area

Jonathan came as a recommendation from a family friend after I was being framed and wrongly charged with criminal felonies. Despite the short notice, Jonathan's attention to details and professionalism never waned. His organized note-taking, willingness to explain and listen, put our minds at ease. F...rom our first meeting with him to prepping for the preliminary hearing to the actual hearing, Jonathan consistently wowed us with his diligence in research, knowledge of criminal law and proactive communication. Personally, what impressed us the most with Jonathan is his amazing ability to break down the complex legal jargons and laws into layman terms and help us understand. He is extremely patient with our questions and never make us feel small for asking any questions. He is humble in his approach and worked alongside with us as partners, always willing to consider our suggestions and ideas for the case. Jonathan is very communicative in terms of key updates about the developments of the case, case strategy and next steps. He usually replies your emails or phone calls within the same day or if he cannot get back in touch with you, his super efficient legal assistant Lindsay Sampson will followup with us. Jonathan holds himself and his staff at very high standards and we definitely saw that every step of the way. One additional note, we think that the type of legal assistants that a lawyer has, makes a huge difference in the customer experience. Lindsay, being highly efficient and organized, contributed to our great customer experience with the Simms Firm. The Simms Firm is a small yet nimble small team who is extremely capable in their criminal defense specialty. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Jonathan. Going through the judicial system and the criminal case was an unpleasant and stressful experience but knowing that we have Jonathan helped give us the peace of mind and allowed us to carry on with our daily lives as the case developed. Jonathan and his team has our biggest thanks and highest recommendation.

Outstanding Attorney

Attorney Jonathan Simms is an outstanding criminal defense attorney. He is very good at explaining legal concepts to clients and answering questions. I was always able to reach him on the phone or via email, and he was kind enough to even return calls on weekends. He is a former prosecutor who fight...s aggressively for his clients and offers excellent legal advice. It was clear that he is very respected by the judges and other attorneys. He's an excellent trial attorney. I highly recommend him.

Represented me in a criminal defence

Mr Simms represented me in a matter. He performed his tasks professionally and knowledgeably, he was always available for discussion and questions. The matter was resolved quickly and efficiently and with minimal complications. His fees were consistent with other attorneys in the Washington DC ar...ea.
