Review

Excellent lawyer. Definitely recommended for legal trouble. Glad to have hired him and defend me in court. Would hire again.

Worst Experience Ever

I reached out to this attorney with the hope of getting help with my ticket. At first, he seemed nice and explained what he could do, which gave me confidence. Unfortunately, my experience was the complete opposite of what I expected. He was quick to take my money but then became almost impossible to... reach. When I tried contacting him, he often said he was “busy” or “with family,” showing little concern for his clients. As my court date approached, communication was nearly nonexistent. On the day of court, he didn’t even show up as promised, claiming other things came up. This lack of professionalism, accountability, and basic client care was extremely disappointing. In the end, I had to settle my case on my own because I couldn’t rely on him. Hiring Arthur Simms was the worst attorney experience I’ve ever had. Please be very careful before hiring himhe will take your money and not prioritize your case. Would do 0 stars but does not give me the option.

DWI Dismissed

I hired Mr. Sims a year ago. I had my second DWI charge. He said from day one the officer was just trying to pull someone over. Mr. Sims kept telling me not to take anything. I was worried but left it up to him. We pushed it all the way to trial and the DA dismissed it. I am so thankful for Mr. ...Sims and his willingness to keep fighting. Awesome attorney and would recommend to anyone and everyone.

I will start by saying that before hiring legal representation from Mr. Sims I was kind of skeptical but he proved me wrong he was professional answer all my questions from the beginning he told me don't worry I got this and he did I might not have gotten it dismissed but I can honestly tell you I di...dn't serve no jail time and got just a misdemeanor for mischief conduct I have his number on speed dial thanks again HydroJay

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I'm a board certified civil trial lawyer who shares a common client with Mr. Sims -- specifically, he was hired on very short notice in urgent circumstances to take over from her prior criminal defense counsel. I've been VERY impressed with Mr. Sims' diligence, judgment, and ethics so far, and would not hesitate to refer other of my civil clients to him for criminal defense representation."
