David Simmons

Needing an attorney is never anything we want in life. But when situations arise that we do need one, we want to be sure we have the best. When my marriage ended and my husband acted in behaviors that were detrimental to my family I know I needed to find the best lawyer I could. David Simmons is abso...lutely that lawyer! David is professional, thorough, articulate and highly competent. I trust him completely! My divorce has not been an easy one mostly because of my husband's lack of participation. It was so frustrating and very emotional at times, but David's demeanor helped keep me calm and focused. I consider him not only my lawyer but a good friend. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him without reservation!

When I met David Simmons at the end of November, 2016, I had just been assaulted by my abusive husband, who was consequently arrested and convicted. My daughter, Heather Bolyard, age 30 had researched and had made a plan for when this day would come. The abuse lasted 14 years. Escalating. From day ...one, David was kind, patient, understanding and thorough in his questions and research. I immediately knew that he was the attorney I needed. At that time I was in shock. He told us the steps to take to begin the process of separating. Heather wrote it all down. They both walked me through that day. Both Heather and I tried to tell David what we were up against, a very narcissistic diagnosed bipolar person who refused to take his meds, but who was also extremely intelligent and manipulative. Used to getting his way. So the steps that David told us to do that day were crucially important for my near future survival. Heather and I did everything he suggested, and I am forever grateful for his guidance. At that time, I really didn't know that it would take until July, 2018 to get the final decree of divorce. David talked us through each and every step, patiently explaining anything I needed to hear, repeating things and being even in his words. I was also very lucky to have Kristin Wright, David's paralegal, and the wonderful staff at McIlveen Family Law Firm for support. My ex-husband made things very difficult and stalled as much as he could, hoping I would run out of money. But in the end, with David's help, we succeeded. I was very pleased with the outcome. The outcome was that I got the house. I am now in the process of selling the house to downsize and will have a cushion of money in the bank. And ex-husband cannot dispute anything because I asked for no alimony. David asked me numerous times if I was sure of this. I said yes. He wanted me to be absolutely sure. And I still am. David Simmons is a stellar attorney, making sure he addressed all the details, and the details in between the details. I am so glad that Heather found him, and that he was my attorney. Steadfast, patient, kind, extremely smart with a great sense of humor. Without humor it would have been miserable! We were a good team and accomplished the goal. I am official divorced. I am so much calmer. My blood pressure is normal. I am looking towards the future. There is nothing I can do or say to express my gratitude to David Simmons. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an attorney in family law. When I sell my house, I will go back to David and have him create a new will/living trust for me. I pray I don't need him for anything else to do with Mark. But if I do, I will call him in a New York second. So, Thank you, thank you, Mr. David Simmons. Life is good again.

David Simmons was my attorney for roughly 1.5 years during my highly contentious divorce litigation. David is a highly intelligent, detail oriented, responsive and extremely capable attorney. He thinks outside the box and is willing to push hard for what is right for his clients. He took the time t...o explain things when I needed him to do so. His motions are incredibly well-written and his arguments highly articulate. Besides being a tremendous attorney, David is a really good person who truly cares about his clients. His calm approach to incredibly tough situations was very helpful and I also enjoyed his sense of humor. I would highly recommend David Simmons to anyone needing a family law attorney. He's a star.

I hired Mr. Simmons to help with a child custody settlement that turned into a year long battle. Thankfully, Mr. Simmons and his paralegal were very thorough in explaining everything and extremely prompt with every phone call and email, responding to late night and weekend issues within hours. Althou...gh we did eventually settle days before court, I had the utmost confidence in him, seeing as he was detailed and extremely informative with the entire process, detailing all of the possibilities and running through the "do's" and "don'ts" of family court. He brings, most importantly, peace of mind by educating his clients, answering all questions, and responding as quickly to any unforeseen issues. I highly recommend him.

Hired Mr. Simmons to represent me and advise and guide me for a thorough legal and binding Separation Agreement and Property Settlement for my divorce. He negotiated the agreement and obtained everything I requested and them some. Very professional and courteous. He is a fantastic Family Lawyer, H...ighly recommended
