Satisfied client

My experience with Attorney Kortney Simmons was very professional and satisfying. She helped me through my entire case and was knowledgeable with the State of TN laws as it pertained to my case.

Best Counsel I have ever had

Very thorough and understanding. My battle was a tricky one for me mentally but she always lifted my spirits up with her confidence and proactive stance. She gave great guidance and I will forever be greatful and highly recommended Ms. Simmons to any father or mother who is in need of a professional....

Ms Simmons, was very dedicated to my needs, kept me informed, and assured me that she was in control of this situation. absolutely a beast in the court room, her strategy was superb. My only regret is that she is in Tennessee and not in NC, because she would be my go to attorney. Thank You Kortne...y Deniece Simmons

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
