Recommend unreservedly

I worked with John Simmons over an extended period of time on a case of elder abuse, an area in which he is especially well-informed. He is exceedingly considerate, thorough, and competent as a trial lawyer. As we were on the verge of a full trial he negotiated an acceptable settlement. I feel very f...ortunate to have found him through referrals and would recommend him for similar cases without any reservation whatsoever.

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.
