Great attorney!

Dan did a fantastic job on my case. He was easy to reach and listened to my input. Did a great job in the court room with cross examining the state's witness and his closing statement sealed the deal in my favor. Thanks Dan!

Posted by Adrian B | August 01, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

Fantastic very professional attorney! Treats you like family.

Dan Simons with the well known Thiessen Law Firm in Houston tx, did an incredible job on my cases. I was trying to expunge and seal my records, and he did everything he promised. Which is very rare in the attorney world. What was really great and helped me relax in this stressful time is he treats... you like family. He makes time to call you back and talk to you, besides seeing him in court we stayed in touch thru the whole process. This is also very rare in the attorney world. Most of them are really short and take forever to respond, or wanna communicate via email. Dan Simons was very quick and effective he’s always a step ahead of the prosecutors and knows exactly how to deal with them very effectively and in a smart fashion. I was totally secure in him representing me. I felt like he almost treated me like a brother. If you need a great and reliable criminal defense attorney definitely hire him. Whether it’s expunging your records and sealing them or a criminal case. He’s got your back, and will use his wisdom and experience to get you the best results possible.

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.

Great attorney

Dan was great; worked very diligently on my case, always kept me informed, did everything in his power to help me. And he’ll he truly did. Got me a pre trial diversion in Montgomery county, which is very rare and difficult to acquire. Now I’m on the road to getting this case dismissed and removed fro...m my record. Thanks a lot Dan, I truly appreciate everything you did.

Great Lawyer, honest and dependable.

Dan was extremely helpful in guiding me throughout this whole process. He was honest and direct with me and my case. I truly appreciated his near immediate replies to my emails, text messages or calls. When you hire an attorney, you expect them to be available to you and Dan did not disappoi...nt me at all. Dan was successful in getting my case dismissed for me. I hope I never need his services again, but if on that off chance I end up needing an attorney in the future, I am hiring Dan.
