Great professional lawyer
Alexis handled my custody situation professionally and with a positive outcome. She took a personal interest and did not excessively bill. In fact, she was more than reasonable. She is very determined and hard working! She was very knowledgeable and kept me well informed and always easy to contact....
Alexis Marie Kraft Simmons's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Alexis is an excellent attorney who works tirelessly for her clients. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any of my clients (and I often do!)."
"I have worked as opposing counsel with Attorney Simmons for a number of years and highly endorse her for a number of reasons. First, she is professional. Alexis has a way of handling conflict and contentious litigation with respect and civility. She is also passionate about what she does. Attorney Simmons often takes on cases out of a sense of personal mission because she believes deeply in her client’s cause. Third, Attorney Simmons is very effective in the courtroom, handling complex cases and making excellent arguments. I highly endorse her."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Atty Simmons as an opposing counsel and Guardian ad Litem. She is a very knowledgeable, civil and professional attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Alexis on family law matters and would highly recommend her."
"I strongly endorse this lawyer. I have had cases where Alexis was the opposing attorney which include domestic violence/Orders of Protection. I would have to say that her knowledge of the law in this area was second to none. The courage it takes for a person to seek help with domestic violence can be crushed by the process when you do not know the law and/or the Judge's routine. There is no other private attorney I would turn to for help in this area of law. You will not make a mistake if you hire Alexis."
