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!

Poised

Dan Simonds is literally fantastic. I was charged with a DUI last year in late August, and gave Dan a call. After just a few questions, he informed me he could get it dismissed, no doubt. That made me feel better but I was still worried about what might happen. BUT, as of September this year, my case... has been dismissed... I don't know why I worried at all, I mean he explained the steps to getting it dismissed, and always kept me in the loop about what was going on currently, or what was coming next. Out of all the times I reached out to him with questions or responses, there was not one time that I didn't get a response from Dan within a few minutes. I mean he really did deliver to me, as one of his clients. Going through the months, he would encourage me to keep going and I was almost there, any late payments were NOT met with anger, he was so logical and reasonable about finances, and at the end of the day, Dan said he would get it dismissed from day one, and that's simply just what he did. I am so relieved I found his representation, and would send anyone who needed his help his way.

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!!

Dan is the man. Beyond satisfied with his representation.

Dan went above and beyond. He looked through all the evidence in my case and he filed for every bit of evidence he could to get me the best possible outcome. He was very informative and put all the options out in front and explained each thoroughly. He did not try to sway me in a direction, instea...d gave his professional advise and explained the pros and cons of each option. The plea deal he negotiated for me was unbelievable considering my circumstances. He does not Let the court waste his time not will he let the court waste your time. Very happy with his representation and look forward to being represented by him in the future.

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.
