Dan's a great lawyer!

Dan was very clear from the start about my case and I could tell he had plenty of experience handling DWI's. He got me a solution to my problem and I followed what he advised, and I got the best possible outcome. His experience and knowledge reflects well. He was on top of things from the jump so the...re was no delay on his end. Dan is a solid lawyer that I do recommend to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Knowledge and efficiency

No one wants to be in a DWI situation but I’m glad I hired Dan Simons. He was straight forward, knowledgeable, and always a text away for any answers. He was clear in expectations regarding what could be done for me and always fought for the best option. Quick and easy.

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!

Family assault case

I hired Dan and he took my case worked on it, and understood the weaknesses of the defense. He was very professional and available, after i won my case he gave the ressources i needed to move forward with my personal life. This The lawyer everybody needs.

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.
