He is a Problem Solver

Drew Simons just got me through an awful, tangled real estate lease case...as quickly as possible, careful to ensure it got settled rather than escalate. On top of that, he was kind, he CARED. Can't say enough good things about this lawyer.

Solid trust after years of work

Drew has always provided excellent advice for us on starting our business helping franchise and eventually merging with another Corporation.

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.
