Super Attorney who doesn’t wear a cape

I reached out to Attorney Simmons and I was a mess. I needed someone for my moms estate. I had no idea if I was coming or going. Attorney Simmins was professional and kept me in the loop the entire time. I am so appreciative of her. Job well done.

Trust

Recently I had the pleasure of working with Patricia Simmons in establishing a trust. The necessity of establishing a trust was brought to my attention by a business acquaintance of mine. When I finally stopped procrastinating and made the call to Patricia, the process was handled in a timely and eff...icient manner. My many questions were answered and explained in layman terms. It was as though a weight had been lifted from my shoulders when the process was complete and the trust established. Patricia was extremely patient with me, and I so appreciate her for not only her professionalism but, more importantly, her compassion.

Professional and Compassionate Attorney

I am taking this opportunity to let everyone know that Patricia Simmons is a great attorney. I have worked with her for several years as a Notary and have seen her interact with numerous clients. Ms Simmons is always professional, very patient and clear with all her clients. She explains all the l...egal details so that every client completely understands everything being signed, doesn’t hurry them and sympathizes with every clients situation. Ms Simmons area of practice is in Probate, Trusts, and Wills which is often a stressful time for many people and Ms Simmons supports and eases everyone’s concerns. I strongly recommend Ms Patricia Simmons to anyone in need of these types of services and will categorically state that they will not be disappointed.
