Caring, Professional, Intelligent, Used time wisely

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!!

Respectful, Ethical and Professional

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 is a very knowledgeable and extremely diligent attorney who will fight tooth and nail for his clients. I hold Dallas in very high esteem and I strongly endorse him as a divorce or family law attorney."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have faced Dallas as opposing counsel on multiple cases and I can attest to the fact that Dallas is an excellent attorney. Dallas is intelligent, experienced, knowledgeable, and above all ethical. While I have been attorney for many years longer than Dallas, I am always surprised at just how knowledgable he is. Likewise, I have seen Dallas beat up on attorneys with years more experience. Dallas is special. I highly endorse this lawyer."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Dallas is an incredibly bright attorney who is dedicated to his clients. Dallas was mentored by some the best and most experienced family law attorneys in Orange County California for years, such that he is far more knowledgeable than most attorneys as young as he is. This experience is a tremendous benefit to all of his clients. If you need an extremely knowledgable and hardworking family law or divorce attorney, Dallas Simkins is a great choice. I highly recommend Dallas."
