This man can not be trusted. He destroyed my son's life and his family's life by helping the prosecution put my son away for 35 years! A plea agreement for bank robbery with a deadly weapon railroaded my son to agree to an assault on a law enforcement officer that was not true. No gun discharged a...

After receiving 3 attorney referrals and talking to all of them, I chose Kelly to represent me and I am so glad I did. When you're going through the intimidating legal system it's equally important to have someone on your side who is not only a terrifically skilled attorney but also an amazing human ...

He helped me protect my daughter from predator father. He was skilled at handling every aspect and untangled a mess from 3 other attys and used the good that each one did do for my case. Ultimately my daughter is safe and almost grown now and instead of her father making her life better this strang...
"I worked for Kelly years ago and have continued to refer him criminal cases throughout my career. Very few attorneys in town have the experience and credentials that Kelly does, and those same qualities are what allow him to represent each client zealously and aggressively while obtaining the best possible result."
"I endorse this lawyer. From the day I met Mr. Simms, he has been an excellent mentor and true role model. He has always been there to assist me and answer my questions. Moreover, watching him in court is a true treat. Not only is he amazingly professional, he is also impressively persuasive, diligent, and pugnacious. It is an honor to know him, and I would highly recommend him for any criminal matter."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have know Attorney Kelly Sims for many years. He is an outstanding attorney. He is passionate about his work. He is also highly intelligent. I would recommend Attorney Sims for any legal matter."
"I endorse this lawyer. Kelly Sims is an excellent attorney. I have represented co-defendant's in cases in which he represented another party as well as represented the same defendant in criminal cases. He has a likeable personality, is thorough in his preparation and is good before a jury."
"I 150% endorse this lawyer. Best criminal lawyer in Orlando. Period. Best one out there. If you are in trouble and don't hire Kelly...well, now you're in even more trouble. Every time I go to Disney and decide to hit City Walk...I program Kelly's number in my phone. Just hit send...."
"As a lawyer, they say the best endorsement you can give of somebody is to refer them a case; and I have referred Kelly many cases in my career. He is by far the best trial lawyer I have ever seen in action. He is probably one of the few lawyers who is not just respected, but generally liked by judges, prosecutors, and defense lawyers alike. I highly endorse Kelly Sims."
