A rockstar in the courtroom

Michael Simmrin Is an exceptionally talented attorney. Not only is he a consummate professional, he is a skilled negotiator, navigating the difficulties of my serious situation, with compassion, consideration, & finesse. Frankly, I was petrified. I hounded him constantly with every miniscule det...ail of my case. Despite this, he was incredibly patient, and sincere, calmed my fears, put me at ease, and he would say "not to worry, - I got this" - Just leave it to him. I began believing I could. He was so confident and reassuring. I eventually stopped panic- texting him day and night, and finally just let go. I put my trust, and my future, in his hands. I was not disappointed. Retaining Mr. Simmrin turned out to be a great decision, and I have no doubt he is the right choice for anyone facing a legal difficulty or challenge. You don't have to tackle it alone. He really came through for me. He will for you. He is FOR you, He is on your team and on the right side of your interests. He doesn't make promises, HE DELIVERS RESULTS ! Michael Simmrin Is a rockstar in the courtroom. HiHe not only met our goals in my situation, but exceeded them, with his performance. He turned, (what appeared to other attorney's, I had spoken with) -to be a hopeless situation, they were afraid to take on, -into a victory for me, through his fierce representation, and fearless handling of tough adversaries. I couldn't have hoped for a more positive outcome! -Or more welcome relief, from the worry and stress that had taken a hold of my life. That is, until I hired Mike. If you want an attorney, who will make a difference, and get results, look no further. Michael Simmrin: Is a true advocate, and an outstanding lawyer. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of them. -From my own experience, as a client, I am completely satisfied with the outcome, and couldn't be happier with the results. * MICHAEL SIMMRIN* A stellar, dedicated, results-oriented attorney 5 Stars and all smiles! Thank you -Melanie

Outstanding Results

We needed help for a client that had a prior record and got into an unfortunate situation that was not his fault. Michael coordinated a team effort that resulted in a complete dismissal of the charges with no impact to our clients record with great communication along the way. We could not be more ...happy with the results of this case.

Michael is an amazing human and lawyer

Michael got me out of a nightmare! The sherif department wanted to give me a “fraud case” for having the wrong plates on my car! After they have me spend 2 night at county jail!! It was the dealer fault not mine. Michael told me not to worry about it. He told me that he will have my case dismis...sed! and that’s exactly what happened. Michael Simmirn dismissed the unfair unjust case these evil sherifs wanted to give. He always communicated with me. Kept updating me for anything new pop up in the case. Now I’m worry free!!!

AMAZING

“I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. [My attorney] fought hard for me. He went above... and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm or attorney. Thanks Mike!!!

Dui

I moved to California and worked the largest wildfire in California. not only being super exhausted from the hours but also trying to make new friends and going out I got that discouraging DUI. I was in NorCal and he was in SoCal but he still picked up my case and did the best he can for me. He got m...e out of a lot. He allowed the court system to get me home to Ohio. And he got me to do all my sentencing and what I have to do in my home state which made it so easy and so nice on my behalf. He always was very responsive. I really recommend this attorney.

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.
