Review of Derek D Simmons
My husband and I had an appointment with Mr. Simmons to introduce ourselves and go over Estate Planning and Will (Living Trust). We found him to be very pleasant, understanding, smart and extremely helpful with our situation. He is going to draw up a draft for us to review and we will definitely work with him. We would be happy to refer his services to family and friends.
