deliberate, knowledgeable and a great coomunicator

Attorney Simmons help me buy and sell over 75 properties during a complex time in our citiy's history. Always a cautious as approached each land acquisition and sale- Attorney Simmons acted professionally with me as his client. He knew the other lawyers we interacted with and seems to enjoy a great r...eputation for accuracy and honesty. He is an old school lawyer who gets it dead right the first time.

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.
