Mr. Simons's is very quick to responding to texts, including Emails. He is very knowledgeable and Professional. He made me feel like a real person, not just another case. All of my questions mattered to him, no question was left unanswered. I thank god for his assistance in my case.

BEST Lawyer out there!

Most people will tell you everything you want to hear just to get your business, but Dan Simons is a man of his word and did everything he said he would! If you’re looking for results and efficiency, I would advise looking no further. He does not settle and refuses to take no for an answer. He will f...ight for you and keep you out of court which takes a huge load off! Aside from that, he is very friendly and cares about each individual case, treating you as if you were his very own family. I called Dan on a weekend, and at a weird time of the day thinking I could probably just leave a voicemail that he’d eventually get to, however he took my call right then and talked me through it all and encouraged me to relax because he was gonna take care of everything, and boy did he ever! I cannot think of a single complaint from the time I called him to the time my case was completely dismissed! Love this guy, would highly recommend!

Daniel Simons is the real deal!!!

I hired Dan Simons as my lawyer when I made a huge mistake and got a DWI. The case was more complicated than most 1st offenses and could of easily turned into a Felony. But I am so grateful that it was ruled as a misdemeanor. Dan came in and saved me from a felony with his knowledge of the law and pr...ofessional service. He was very compassionate and patient with me. I had a lot of questions and concerns and I never felt out of the loop because Dan and his team would always answer all my questions and concerns and helped me have a good understanding about the whole process. I would highly recommend Dan to anyone. I trust Dan, he carries himself with honesty and integrity and I highly respect his work ethic and knowledge of the law.

Case Dismissed

Dan saved me from having my life destroyed. I live in a small town near Houston and was arrested for DWI by the local Police. I quickly learned that the very people that are placed in power to protect and serve us, do it NOT FOR US, they do it TO US. With that horrifying realization, I started ...searching for the most qualified legal representation available, contacting numerous firms to evaluate. I was particularly impressed by Dan, who showed genuine care and concern for my predicament. He was very easy to contact and took the time to answer all of your questions. He was very informative, explaining the process, to my satisfaction and understanding. With Dan’s aggressive representation in my defense, my case was dismissed.
