Dallas Carl Simkins

Dallas Simkins was my lawyer. He was amazing. He understood the legal and financial issues well. He stood up for me with the other attorney and in the courtroom. My case has gone on long enough that i have had several attorneys and the other side has had several attys, so i have seen the spectrum... of potential talent and ability and Mr. Simkins was by far the best for me. He helped restore rights that my previous attorney gave away so casually.

We retained the services of Dallas Simkins in our attempt to gain grandparent visitation.  Mr. Simkins was careful to point out that such cases are rare, but that our situation did meet the requirements under California case law.  He also warned us that the process would likely take about a year, tha...t it would be relatively expensive, and that there was no guarantee of winning.  He was very careful and thorough in preparing our case, and did an excellent job of keeping us focused on what we needed to prove to win our case, letting us vent when our emotions got to us, sympathizing, and then reminding us what was necessary and what was just "noise".  He asked appropriate, pointed questions of the court-appointed evaluator, which the evaluator answered in his report to the court.  We believe that this, more than anything else, led to a successful resolution of our case.  We were consistently impressed with Mr. Simkins's demeanor, knowledge of the law, and patience with us through this long emotional ordeal.  We believe anybody would be lucky to have him in their corner in a similar situation.

Dallas helped me with an alimony matter where I was being dragged back to court four times for more alimony when it was already concluded. The first few times I represented myself. Then.... I found Dallas! Tadah!! He read the fine print of orders I didn't even know were given, in the minutes of the ...case. Wow. He slam-dunked this issue legally, professionally, and with humor. What a wonderful, creditable lawyer. Thank you, Dallas!!

I am a female and I needed someone to stand up for my rights in the court system. Going to court is not an experience that you plan for and you need to be able to have trust in the person representing you. Dallas Simkins was that person for me. He listened to my issues and concerns and explained each... step of the process that was going to happen. He was honest, direct and companionate to my situation. When it came time to go to court it was very comforting and very clear he had my best interest in the fore front. He was not the type of attorney that wants to just settle to make it easy for them. Dallas is a very competent, knowledgeable of the laws and court system and a vey ethical attorney.

Dallas has represented me in highly complex and conflictual family law matters including divorce, custody, child/spousal support, arrears, etc. He is extremely detailed, articulate, professional and fair minded yet firm. He is confident in the law and the courtroom and has advocated, facilitated an...d succeeded in upholding the law in the best interest of my family.
