Excellent Attorney

Gus was my attorney for my Family Law/Child Custody case. I originally went to him for what I thought would be a simple Modification of Time Sharing Petition. My case ended up being everything but simple and, it dragged on for over 4 years. Throughout the entire process, Gus was nothing but hones...t and straight forward. He would always tell me the truth instead of what I wanted to hear and, in these types of cases, that is what you need. He always gave me his best advice on how I should proceed. He is very prompt and, responded to my phone calls and/or e-mails rather quickly. My case went to trial and, Gus was nothing but professional and well prepared. He prepped all of my witnesses (I had over 10, including one expert witness) and, he did an outstanding job at my trial. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable attorney, who is aggressive, affordable and, at the same time compassionate about your case then Gus or the Simmons Law Firm is who you want to hire. I would recommend Gus or the Simmons Law Firm for your case or any other legal matter you may need.
