Hospital abuse, 51/50, 14 day hold.

I would recommend Michael A Simmrin. He was the best sharp, brilliant, knowledgeable lawyer. He got to the bottom of things with the psychiatrist that the Hoag hospital only had this psychiatrist who is abusive, he black mail me to the psychiatrist. Michael Simmrin took care of things in a good manne...r. I recommend him and I give him 5 stars. He is one of the top best lawyers that I’ve ever seen. His knowledge law is impeccable.

Retained services

I am thankful I retained Simmrin Law Group. I will not discuss the particulars of my case. However, I highly recommend you call Michael Simmrin if you need honest, reliable, and results-driven legal services. From consultation to case closure, Michael Simmrin remained professional and courteous. I be...lieve his knowledge and experience is the reason my case was promptly closed with the exact result I wanted. Thank you again.

He’s a fighter!

I’ve hired Mike and I referred him to friends. He’s smart. He’s tough. And he gets the job done. A+++

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.

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.
