Anderson Mclay Simmons

I am very glad I chose Anderson Simmons to represent me when I was sued by a debt-collection company. His $1,500 fee was a bit higher than another firm that I was looking at, but I believe that in the end I saved money by choosing him, because he was determined to WIN my case, not just settle it (whi...ch would have left me with payments to make to the plaintiff). Anderson Simmons talked with me at length about the pros and cons of my particular case before I chose him to represent me. He took the time to explain things fully and answer all questions. Mr. Simmons personally handled my case, and he displayed a strong working familiarity of how different county courts and debt collection companies behave in these kinds of cases. As he had defended other cases in front of my case's particular judge, he was able to use that knowledge to predict a likely outcome if things ended up in court. Mr. Simmons was able to get my case dismissed before it ever even went to court. Throughout the entire experience of working with him he kept me informed and proactively looked after my interests. After winning the case, he also gave me tips on protecting my credit rating. I can't recommend Anderson Simmons strongly enough. He knows the law, the various courts and judges in the greater Austin area (my case was in Williamson County), and he is honest and dedicated.

Mr. Simmons got my credit card debt case dismissed. He told me what to expect. He explained the best and the worst outcome. I had no additional harassing phone calls regarding my debt after Mr Simmons took over my case. I waited patiently to hear from him. It is primarily a waiting game. Difficult... for him to inform me of what the other side is deciding. They file, he responds, then they respond etc. My case was dismissed after (5) months. No additional out of pocket expense to the court. Mr Simmons handled my case in a proficient fashion. One that I honestly was not expecting. I would highly recommend Mr Simmons. His time, his efforts, and his services are more than worth it. Thank you, Andy!!

The day I walked into Andy's office, needless to say I was at a loss as I was being sued by a debt buyer. Andy took his time with me and explained the process. I left that day with so much confidence in him. Andy has kept me informed and up to date on this long process. Today, Thanksgiving morning I ...received an email "Case dismissed!" Andy even informed me that if I hear anymore about this case from anyone to let him know right away. Thank you Andy. I cannot recommend you highly enough.

Plain and simple, as my title says, Anderson Simmons is the best there is at defending against junk debt buyers. I hired him on three separate occasions after being served with lawsuits from them. He forced two into dropping their suits early- one actually folded upon receiving word that Andy w...as representing me. The third he fought tooth and nail all the way to trial and trapped the opposing attorney into making a complete fool of himself to the court. He was unrelenting and was even awarded sanctions for exposing their misconduct with discovery rules and procedures. Needless to say we won but he was not done yet. He subsequently filed a lawsuit on my behalf for FDCPA violations against the debt buying company that initially sued me and I was awarded more than what I had originally stated that I would settle for. That was a happy day!

I contacted Andy for help with dealing with a collection firm that had sued me over an alleged debt. This company was using a lot of intimidation tactics to try to get me to pay them, and all the while would not provide any proof that I actually owed them anything. Having never dealt with this sort... of situation before, I checked many sites (including avvo.com) for a good attorney. After seeing many reviews, I decided to get help from Andy. After meeting with Andy, he advised me of my rights and options under the law, as well as told me about many of the various intimidation tactics he's seen used on various people by collection agencies over the years, and let me know that what I experienced with my particular situation was actually in-line with what he's seen in the past. It put me at ease to know that I had someone on my side with experience with this sort of thing. He then devised an effective strategy to fight the collection agency, and ultimately was successful in getting a judgement in my favor. Having no legal education whatsoever, I am fairly confident that if I had not had Andy on my side, and that if I had tried to "go-it-alone", things would have had a very different outcome. Thanks for your help on this Andy - I'm very glad that I had you on my side.
