Casey Symonds is a great custody lawyer. He was beyond reasonable with his fees and still helped when I was behind on payments. Casey is knowledgeable and explains things in terms that people outside of a court room can understand. I will use Casey in the future for any other cases I have. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family.
Mr. Symonds is professional, knowledgeable, confident, and efficient. He assured me that he knew exactly what he was doing and he followed through on every bit of advice, as well as every deadline. He always kept me in the loop of matters concerning my case. I never felt like I was in the dark about anything. I highly recommend Mr. Symonds to anyone who needs a smart, professional lawyer. You don’t need to look any further. He is excellent!
My partner was languishing in Jackson County Detention for 2 years for a crime he didn't commit. The public defender showed very little interest in his defense. We hired Casey and, within a couple of months, he's home enjoying his freedom. Furthermore, we had shopped around and the cost was half of what others were charging while his well deserved reputation was twice as strong as those other lawyers. We will definitely use Casey and his firm for any other legal needs.
My husband is a combat veteran with PTSD and he used alcohol for coping. Long story short, Casey was honest, professional, courteous, respectful, and empathetic. Casey is very knowledgeable and remained calm and confident. I was on the other end as a worried wife and mother, but he was always quick to share encouragement regarding my husband. I would recommend Casey to anyone in need of an awesome lawyer! Having to go through anything that requires a lawyer is scary, but Casey is remarkable and makes this process bearable. Casey is quick to respond by email, text or phone and with this being a stressful situation for this worrying wife and mother, he always responded with encouragement.
Casey represented me in a case against a former friend, who sued me for property and a very large sum of money as part of an alleged oral contract. Casey was very forthcoming, detailed, and respectful. He took my questions seriously and helped me through my options. My case went to trial, and I was very relieved with the outcome. His commitment to my interests showed with his professionalism and his well-prepared defense at the trial. I am overall quite pleased by his representation and would recommend Casey to anyone in a similar situation.
Casey stepped in late in my case when asked and didn't miss a beat. He is solid, honest and down to earth. I never felt once that he lacked the knowledge or confidence to support me and help me secure what was best for my children. Custody issues are so heated and emotional, and having a reasonable and caring person on my side made a huge difference for my ability to keep fighting the good fight. Casey treats your money like his own and his paralegal is incredibly competent. He was able to ask her to work on some aspects of my case and save me money along the way. I felt I could ask anything if either of them and trust that their responsiveness and helpfulness would be there. After hearing all evidence, the judge accepted Casey's proposed judgment verbatim. Regardless, I felt 100% sure that with Casey on my team, we presented the best possible, complete and truthful case and I could easily accept another outcome should that have been the end result. I highly recommend Casey Symonds.
When I met Casey I was very upset, feeling 100 different emotions all at once. I did not have much money to retain an attorney due to husband closing our joint accounts taking all money from both and opening a new account in his own name leaving me no financial support for 2 children I had with me as well. Briefly discussed my situation of a marriage of 22/23 years filled with mental/physical, controlling abuse and made the decision to leave. I walked away from my home of 18 years because I knew if I had not and stayed my husband would not of left the home so then nothing would change. I am still waiting for my Temporary hearing date. Casey & Cindy have been very patient, caring, giving me all the information as quickly as they can. Both constantly checking in with me to see how my boys & I are getting along due to situations of harrassment/stalking issues with my husband. I do not know what the out come will be for my divorce but I do know I have found a Lawyer I will continue to use whenever in need of attorney but most of all everyone that works in the office is very friendly, giving you a feeling of really being cared about, sense of true, honest, caring people. Good to still meet people that really care/love their profession helping others and not just doing it for the money!!! Casey took what I could give at that time which was not much to retain his services after having a brief discussion on what my situation was and to me that spoke volumes!!!!
Casey Symonds is very knowledgeable, courteous, professional, and honest. He did as asked and expected, but also offered advice when he thought it was necessary. He and his paralegal, Cindy, always responded to my emails promptly and processed my requests as quickly and expedient as possible. His fees seemed competitive. I liked how he billed minutes so I didn’t feel as if I were getting overcharged. He told me upfront what to expect for my divorce and the process and also for billing.
Mr. Simmons is an honest lawyer who made me feel confident at all times never wasted my time, never wasted my money and did exactly what he was supposed to do, and made me feel comfortable at all times. after having the assistance of Mr. Symonds and his associates. I will always seek his council if I find I need a good lawyer for any futer situation's I highly respect and recommend Casey Simmons as a professional and highly intelligent, shoot it to you straight human being glad to say that I would consider him a friend.
I had a divorce and custody case that was long (over a year and a half) and very difficult. Mr. Symonds always answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly, was very helpful, professional, and supportive. I had a case between two states, trying to get jurisdiction to keep my child and me safe in Missouri. Mr. Symonds had to get findings from other states about jurisdiction of the child, and did a great job finding cases in other states like ours, to help us. We were able to stay in Missouri, he helped get my parenting plan in place, and received the help needed for my child based on back child support and division of the assets and debts.
