100% recomendado

Honesto, íntegro, profesional, caritativo, faltan adjetivos para describir al abogado David Simmons, nos ayudó con el proceso de legalización en este bello país, y después con la ciudadanía, este segundo proceso lo hicimos por medio de asociaciones sin fines de lucro, por lo que el abogado David Si...mmons no nos cobró ni un solo penny por la ciudadanía. Nuestro eterno agradecimiento para este gran Abogado y ser humano David Simmons.

Knowledge and honesty; Conocimiento y honestidad

Visité a David Simmons para que me ayudara a tramitar mi visa para trabajar por una compañía aqui en USA. El estaba manejando todo muy bien. Mi situación cambió y pensé que para casarme también necesitaba su ayuda. El me dejó un mensaje en el teléfono diciendo: -Ud. no me necesita para casarse. M...antenga su dinero y úselo en su luna de miel. - :)

Excellent!

I liked him. He has integrity and charges you a fee per service rather than per hour. Very professional and knowledgeable.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
