DUI lawyer

Julia Simmons will not beat around the bush. She will let you know whether or not she believes you have a case or not. She doesn't just make fake promises and take your money. Her office is prompt and respond to you very quickly with any questions or concerns. Even years later, she will handle your e...xpongement for you. I was so scared during the whole process and her office makes it so you don't have to go in to court yourself. They take the stress for you which I really appreciated. I would recommend Julia Simmons to anyone seeking help with a DUI case.

Helpful response to questions regarding license suspension

I contacted Ms. Simmons for my teenage son, who recently got a speeding ticket and had an accident in short order. She responded immediately to my questions and concerns - for free - and made it clear that no attorney was necessary at this time. I appreciated both her promptness and the fact that s...he is clearly an ethical person who is not simply trying to suck clients into unnecessary charges.

Just what the doctor ordered!

From the moment I met with Julia, I knew she was the right person to handle my case. I spoke with other DUI lawyers and halted conversations with others. She was the right person for the job! And from that day she was extremely helpful, forthcoming and very responsive. She made the entire process fro...m start to finish quite comfortable for me. She was there when I needed her and answered all my questions with pure honesty and professionalism (and I asked a lot!). I always knew what I was getting. She guided me at every step of my case from DUI Court to the Criminal case - and many times she represented me on her own and I was very appreciative of that as my job can be quite hectic and hard to get away from at times. In the end, I was very happy with the outcome. Julia, I can't thank you enough for how well you put my mind to ease during this time of my life, and I am truly grateful for your services. Keep up the great work - and - for anyone looking for a DUI lawyer, Julia Simmons is your gal!

Outstanding and knowledgeable lawyer

Ms. Simmons was outstanding in resolving our case. She took on our case after a guilty verdict and poor work from a previous lawyer. After being sent to jail and there seemed to be no hope, Ms. Simmons was able to file a motion with the court, find cases that had precedent, convince the court that ou...r case needed to be dismissed and ultimately got our case resolved and out of jail. Ms. Simmons and her staff kept us in the loop during the whole process which was quite helpful in letting us know where we stood with the case at all times. We highly recommend Ms. Simmons and would definitely use her services again. Simply fantastic!

THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU HIRE AN ATTORNEY WHO DOESN'T KNOWN MULTIPLE OFFENSE DUI FOR A THIRD DUI OFFENSE. This was a very very sad situation. This client came to me with complaints about her attorney prior to her plea. I indicated to this client that she was eligible for custodial credit because the judge placed her on house arrest pending her third offense DUI. I actually turned her away, told her I'd speak to her attorney. Her attorney was a criminal defense attorney twice my age. I provided him with the law, the arguments, and the statute. He was thankful. Two or so months later, I get a frantic late night call from this clients family. Apparently the other attorney failed to get her credit and although she was told she'd only be in jail for less than 10 days, 50 days later she still was in jail. I then submitted a motion for credit. Even the judge said they already heard these arguments from the last attorney but THE PRIOR ATTORNEY DID NOT INCLUDE NECESSARY CASE LAW. I, however did. Judge couldn't believe it and granted my motion. Client was released from custody that day.
