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!!

Thank you attorney Simons!

I praise the Lord for leading me to you, attorney Simons! When I was falsely accused of a crime and didn't have any hope, you came through for me and helped me prove the truth! Now, they're expunging my record so these falsehoods never haunt me again. May the Lord bless you, attorney Simons!

DWI Case

Dan was excellent, professional and thorough. He immediately found flaws in my case, did the research and fact finding to pin point the obscuritys and descrepencies. Dan proved the case was unwarranted and got the dismissal!! I couldn't be more thankful for what he has done for me, thanks Dan and I w...ish you much success!!

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.
