Daniel Wayne Simons

I relocated from Seattle, WA to Houston, TX for a new job and within the 1st week of relocating was booked & charged with a DWI 1st with a history in another state. As someone who has always believed in having a well-rounded, dynamic attorney, who can adapt to the ever-changing landscape of draconian... judicial enforcement, I did some research and found the Thiessen Law Firm. After speaking with Mark Thiessen about my case, who just happened to be out of town on his Honeymoon, I reviewed other lawyers at the firm and came away extremely impressed with Dan's resume & personal background. In a way, I saw myself in Dan and I could feel and see God's footprints in Dan's life. I knew Dan had been tested in not only his personal life, but professional life and in analyzing his life trajectory path, I personally believed he was a fighter, like me. When the pressure is really on, most people fold. The great ones will themselves forward & find a way to excel; no excuses. So, I scheduled a 15 minute free consultation in person at his office. I could tell he was extremely busy, but he made time for me. Knowing he finished 1st in his law school classes out of over 1,200 people, worked both sides of the aisle prosecuting and now defense, coupled with the fact that he was hired by Mark Thiessen, who is arguably the best Criminal Defense attorney in the state of Texas, quickly I could see he was a straight shooter, likable, confident, a quick thinker, disciplined, genuine, and he cared in his responses. Having met a plethora of attorney's and state senators over the years, I knew Dan had the rare genetic makeup to be great. After the free consultation, I sensed Dan didn't think I would return to hire him. I like to keep people guessing: I personally did Salvage & Marine Firefighting Compliance per 33CFR155Subparts I & J for any non-tank vessel over 400 gross tons to enter American waters in 42 ports for over 5,500 ships, including every cruise ship in America, so I wanted to surprise Dan when I returned to pay him the next day. He was gracious, cordial and upbeat. I had gotten arrested with an WA license, which the officer wrongfully took, so the 1st course of action was getting a TX license, keeping that license (Props Dan) and getting a car interlock installed on my vehicle. It took Harris County 6 months to finally retrieve the facts of my case after multiple court reset dates (No worries: Dan got us in & out fast)(He knows how to work the room: Think Sharon Stone in Casino) & monthly check-ins through Pre-Trial Services: I declined the breathalyzer, only to have blood drawn with a warrant hours later. My BAL came back at .145, just under the .15 cutoff for the DPTI Diversion Program. I personally thought program acceptance was a long shot, but CAST results & DAN behind the scenes, became the difference maker. Simply put: It pays to have a great attorney. I am now in that program and extremely grateful for Dan's persistence, short and long run plans, advice, and I feel honestly like Dan will be a life long friend. It came as no surprise to me to see Dan beat Judge Jay Karahan in a Landslide, who sat on the Harris County Criminal Court of Law No. 8 for over 16+ years. Its great to see what you always thought, knew, and believed to be true unfold before your very eyes. I pick winners. Dan's a winner.

Mr. Simons was suggested to me by a close friend of mine, considering it was my first arrest for anything. I was unsure on what to do and he made everything super simple and as smooth as possible. As you know Montgomery is a tough county for dwi and dui cases and he was able to get it dismissed ev...en after finding .66 marijuana during the case which put back so I got nervous but he got it squared away and took care of business! Got my life back and free to enjoy it. I recommend Mr. Simons to anyone was totally worth it in the end. Thanks again!

After a DWI charge, I was referred to Dan by a lawyer friend. His communication was clear, making it easier to understand my options. The blood ultimately came back one-hundredth of a point too high for dismissal, which limited our options. We were in a court that makes very few if any accommo...dations, but Dan was able to come up with a great plea bargain. Trial was still an option, but I decided to cut my losses and go with the deal. Had we been in another court, we may have had other options and dismissal more likely. I would highly recommend Dan. He is very thorough, is a good communicator and is a strong advocate.

We hired Dan to represent our son on a DWI charge. Upon the first consultation he gathered the initial information and told us the probable outcome and our choices if we chose to retain his services. We did because he was extremely confident in his abilities. I am very grateful that we did because he... produced the best outcome possible in our sons case. Dismissal! Dan always kept us well informed through the process and was extremely professional. If you are in a pinch, Dan is the man to get the job done! I can confirm you will not be disappointed! Thank you again Dan Simons!
