Best attorney hands down

I started with an attorney before Daniel. I had him for maybe a little over a month, I barely heard from him and he didn't think I could win the case. I honestly felt defeated like there was no hope, but I got Daniel and the first few mins of talking with him gave me hope. He watched the arrest video... and it seems he was more angry than I was. I heard more from him and two days than I did with the attorney before in a month. He had everything planned out he even took a video with his personal phone to reenact the situation. A lot of attorney's wouldn't of worked as hard as Dan did, I've witnessed that first hand. Dan worked like his freedom was on the line, on top of it all he beat the case before it went to trail. His greatness speaks for itself. I just want to thank him again for everything and believing in my innocence.

Best Attorney - DWI Case Dismissed

The very first time I met Attorney Daniel Wayne Simons he was able to get my case dismissed. He was very easy to work with, professional, well informed and thorough. He worked very well with the prosecutors and court staff. I really appreciate all the work put in my case and would like to thank the T...hiessen Law Firm and Daniel Wayne Simons in getting my DWI case dismissed. Overall great representation and great result. I would highly recommend Daniel Wayne Simons as your criminal defense attorney if you are looking for great results! Thanks Dan for giving me my freedom back!

Mr. Simons was Magical

At 36 years old, I went out and had about the worst night of my life. After wrecking my car and registering a .289 BAC, I lost hope and figured this was an incident from which I would never recover. I have two young children I thought would probably be facing a considerable amount of time without the...ir mother. Dan took my case over late in the game, but from the moment he did, I felt informed and reassured. In my best interest, he expressed that he wanted to resolve the case quickly. The lingering DWI charge had wreaked havoc on my family for almost four months. In a very short time, I realized what a blessing it was to have Dan represent me, my needs and those of my family. Coming from the side of the prosecution, he is well-versed in their practices and procedures. All of the technical aspects considered, there is no better feeling then your lawyer walking in and being able to call every professional in the courtroom by their first name! I'm not sure how he did it, but managed to have my sentence drastically reduced, my misdemeanor class lowered and had all my court costs lifted. It didn't take a genius to take one look at my case and know that I was in serious trouble and facing steep reprocussions. It took Dan Simons and his intricate knowledge of the prosecution to negotiate the best deal in my favor. My family and I are so grateful for his representation and attention. I recommend his services without hesitation. I'm still in awe over him, his skill and can't figure out how he did it!
