Divorce client

From my first consultation with Ms. Simmons, she immediately put me at ease in what was a very difficult time in my life. She listened, really listened, to all of my concerns and answered all of my questions. After I retained her she continued her very professional repesentation of me and I felt to...tally confident in her hands. She is a superb listener, always kept me informed and is well respected by the judges. If ever I need any additional family law help, I would unhesitatingly use her again.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
