A man of his word!

My son found himself in need of a lawyer. My personal attorney recommended Douglas Simmons. We did not want to leave his fate in the hands of a public defender. My son was facing serious charges and potential jail time. Mr. Simmons listened to the facts and did not pass judgment. He told us upfro...nt what to expect from him and the potential outcome. I would recommend Attorney Simmons to anyone who needs legal assistance. He is very soft spoken and unassuming -- a gentle giant. He listens and he does his homework. I know that he wanted the best for my son and we never felt like he was just going through the motions. His Paralegal Denise Romero and the other staff members are equally professional and supportive and promptly responded to calls and emails. The costs for his services are very reasonable and my son walked away with a successful outcome. We cannot thank him enough for his help.

Professional Staff that Fights for You

Attorney Doug Simmons and Paralegal Denise Romero did an outstanding job with my civil case. From the first day I met with them I knew they were on my side and would fight for my case. Denise kept me continuously informed throughout the process. Attorney Simmons exhausted all efforts to ensure I had ...a successful outcome with my case. This is a very professional staff that will work hard for you throughout the process.

Honest. Thorough. Strong Legal Team.

I was frantic, scrambling. Trying to figure out whom to hire for legal representation. Seriously, I was absolutely lost in the trenches, going through a year-long battle over seeing my daughter. Facing the unbearable fact of heading to trail after the failed attempt of mediation, I did not know w...ho to turn to. The contested case of child custody and visitation brought along a feeling of hopelessness and despair. Luckily, I chose Attorney Simmons and his team to guide through this daunting process. Mr. Simmons along with Ms. Romero (his lovely paralegal) and others were nothing short of supportive and assuring. Even when things looked uncertain and bleak, Attorney Simmons and his team performed at their best. The outcome was better than I expected and I strongly recommend his services because he is not afraid to tackle difficult cases and they will show you the utmost respect regardless of your circumstance(s). If you need help with family law matters, contact Attorney Simmons to receive the support you deserve!

I met with Mr Douglas on multiple occasions. He was extremely knowledgeable regarding my needs. Many drafts were made before my document was finalized. Both Mr. Douglas and his assistant were very professional and courteous.

You get what you pay for!!

Mr. Simmons is a nice person overall, however his service for my recent case was terrible. He spoke in front of the judge and after to words went into a blank stare and said that he had lost train of thought and that this never happens to him. Long story short for the money paid and the services rend...ered I couldve represented myself and recieved the same results. p.s- the paralegals are rude as if they have passed the bar already!
