DUI- refused to test, DISMISSED!

Dan is AMAZING! I got a DUI outside of my home state and Dan made sure I did not have to worry about showing up to court and got my case DISMISSED! He is a true professional who knows the Harris County system so well and will not charge you an arm and leg. Thank you Dan!

FELONY AGG

I hired Mr. Dan for my DUI case, not knowing i was going to later be charged with another FELONY AGG case. He picked up the FELONY case for me with no hesitation and continued to work with me within my budget. He kept me informed and he always made himself available to talk if had any questions or co...ncerns. I was allowed to have a peace of mind throught the entire process. He has been a BLESSING to me and my family. Hands down THE BEST LAWYER in TEXAS !!! Mr. Dan is definitly a man who lives by his word. He said he would, & he did.!!! Mr. Dan got my FELONY case DISMISSED!!

Best outcome

Really liked being in touch at all times and Mr.Dan having all the answers. Kept me updated at all times. Took my case 3 months to be dismissed but that's cause of the wait for the blood. I would recommend Mr.Dan to everyone. Thank you for all the help.

Excellent

Dan was an exceptional attorney that got me the best result for my DWI. He always got back to me in a timely manner and answered all of my questions. Thanks again Dan!!!

Case Dismissed

Dan Simons Rocks. He got my DWI dismissed completely. Only a few re sets cause we were waiting on the blood work to come back. He is very professional and I definitely will refer him to anyone who gets a DWI. Well worth the money.....

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.
