Jonathan is so knowledgeable and professional. His legal advice helped me tremendously and I would go right to him if I needed anything.

I have known Mr Simms for close to a decade now and he has represented me multiple times. This is not something I am proud of, but I am/was an Opiate addict. I made many bad decisions in my addiction that could have ended my life prematurely. Mr Simms was both professional and kind enough to be honest with me and help me into rehab instead of a lengthy prison sentence (double digits + ). I now have a family with two beautiful children and own my own home in Florida. I would have never had the opportunity to realize my potential without his and his firms help! Thank you so much guys!!!

Mr. Simms has helped me successfully resolve several business and personal matters. Although I'm hopeful that his services won't ever be needed again, I keep his number on speed dial (literally) and wouldn't even consider calling anyone else first.

If you are looking for an attorney that is willing to go above and beyond, Jonathan Simms is the attorney you are looking for. He will not stop until he has exhausted every avenue. What sets him apart is not only his drive, but his compassion. He is an attorney that actually cares.

Jonathan Simms is an amazing attorney. He is very experienced and has knowledge about many different legal principles, cases, and issues. He is easy to reach and responds quickly to emails. I read dealing with an as serious legal issue, but I felt at ease after talking with him. He started to work right away. He’s a hard worker and he even returns calls on weekends. Thanks to him, my issue was resolved and I was able to get back to my life.

I can honestly say I doubt you would find a more dedicated and knowledgeable attorney. Mr Simms was extremely helpful in eliminating many charges and reducing the remaining few charges against my son. What was looking like nightmarish charges with a possible 15 year sentence, has thankfully been reduced to a 6 month sentence. He followed up with me every step of the way, keeping me informed of the different transactions and court dates. I live out of state and was very concerned for my son. He is a kind and considerate attorney, which I believe is rare in this field. A wonderful compassionate attorney who I highly recommend to anyone needing a competent lawyer!

Jonathan was recommend to me by another lawyer. I was recently charged with drunk in public. Jonathan was able to get my charge dismissed. Working with Jonathan was fairly easy. He was readily available if there were any questions or concerns and he always responded to any messages i had for him fairly quickly. I watched how he conversed and work with the prosecuter with my case. I highly recommend Jonathan.

I would like to give such a special thank you to Mr.Simms not only for helping my fiancé with his case but my family. Your concern after the court of speaking with me and my mother in law gave us such comfort and ease in this hard case. It was challenging and you passed thru an obstacle that was sounding like jail time. I thank you for helping my family stay together and work to better for our future. Your work was truly exceptional!
