Perfect man for the job!

Mr. Simmental was referred to me by another attorney to handle a probate litigation. He was very responsive and knowledgeable in the process and the laws surrounding it. I am beyond thrilled that I was able to work with him and have his support in my case.

Attorney Simmental could be the finest lawyer in America!!

Mr. Simmental not only made us feel at ease with his calm, assured manner but he handled our family case with expertise and precision.In the courtroom, we saw how people who didn't have representation were drawn to him and desired his services. We know for sure that Attorney Simmental is the best law...yer we've ever used, and maybe the best lawyer in the country!

My Experience with David A. Simmental

Mr. Simmental and I have exchanged several e-mail communications over the past few days. I am most thankful and very pleased with the responses I have received from Mr. Simmental. He is very knowledgeable about probate law, and shared with me valuable and practical instructions as to how to move fo...rward with my concern. He vastly exceeded any expectations I had using this service for the first time. Additionally, he didn't try to "sell" his services to me; as a matter of fact, he suggested that it may be more beneficial for me to seek the services of a local attorney in the particular area where I would need to file a petition. My experience with Mr. Simmental was wonderful, and I would highly recommend him as an attorney.

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.
