Great lawyer!
This lawyer was fantastic. I will definitely go to him for all other matters. Not only was he awesome, he went out of his way to set up a payment plan for me to help me cover legal fees. He detailed every invoice so I knew what I was paying for and the services that were provided.

Best attorney in town!
Mr. Simmons was able to help me out in a very complex and sensitive estate planning situation. When you're in a complex legal situation you need an attorney who specializes in that area. Mr. Simmons was very knowledgeable and saved the family a lot of money in the long run.

A Courteous and Fair Attorney
Joseph has an expansive knowledge of the law and was able to clearly and accurately explain my legal situation. He was honest and up front and was fair in his billing. He was one of the only attorneys I could find specializing in Elder Care and Special Needs Law which was a godsend.
