From the first initial consult call that led to a meeting with Derek, I felt like I had found an advocate for my case. I was dealing with another firm that brushed me off and didn't care about me (the client), and he was able to ease any concern to make the switch from them to him on that note as well as many other reasons. I, for the first time, had felt listened too, understood, and ready to move forward with complete confidence thanks to Derek!! He truly led me throughout my entire case with ease, professionalism, care, empathy, as well as always having a solution to what would be overwhelming obstacles at every turn to the normal person. He led my case to a successful outcome while providing such a detailed care for my overall wellbeing, and what I felt was right/fair as well. He definitely will be referred to all my friends and family, and anyone we connect with. Thank you, Derek, I truly cannot thank you for being the advocate that you are for your clients!!! I can guarantee, you will want Derek on your side! -A truly grateful and happy client

I was charged In a felony, When I had done nothing wrong. I found out that proving my word over the policemen words you can’t do alone. I came across Derek’s law firm and he knew what to do and say and gave me so much hope at that time after hearing what had happened to me was wrong! And now with just one time to court, I’m free!!! This man is the smartest and so friendly person I thank God for him, I will forever be grateful to him. He truly gave my life back to me.. I have no charges on my name! He’s the Best

Mr.Derek helped me out alot not one but on two occasions, he fought my case where I first I had wanted to give up on it but he found a way. I had got into a situation with where I was fighting to get back my car from a dealership who towed it and double the price and tried to countersuit me for alot more money but Mr.Derek investigated found out more on the case that I didn't know and ended up having them setteled out, Mr Derek fought for me and he will get to the bottom of it, trust him and will handle it no matter who they are, Mr. Derek will fight it all the way...

Derek Simms 1000% is the best. Had a DUI case that he worked for several years and on the day of the trial, had it pleaded down to a lesser charge, one that the prosecutors did not want to plead. Due to his skills and knowledge, it was a WIN!!! Very knowledgeable of all aspects of my case and the time he takes with his clients is amazing. Very professional and would highly recommend!!

When I was arrested for alleged DUI Derek Simms was the first person I called. Not only did he instruct and inform me but he did it in a way that I could understand. The legal world is very confusing and I know he is someone who I can trust to take the reigns and get the best possible outcome for me. I would not recommend any other attorney besides Derek. He is the best at what he does and if you get the chance to work with him you will find out why he is the best.

Mr. Simms has represented me on at least 5 different occasions and has worked miracles every single time. He has achieved results that other good lawyers told me were not possible. I keep his cell phone number on my speed dial. Thank you, Mr. Simms!

I first spoke with Mr. Simms after spending countless hours on the web searching for a competent attorney (there is apparently no shortage of attorneys in Alabama). Within minutes of conversing with Derek, I felt a great sense of relief. He seemed very knowledgable on traffic law ( I am a commercial truck driver) and though he said the bar prohibited him from promising an outcome, he virtually assured me that he could keep this violation off my record. I had a lot riding on this verdict, as another driving infraction would have resulted in me losing my CDL and thus my livelihood. Well, let me say that Derek completely changed my outlook on attorneys. Not only did the ticket "disappear" but I only had to pay court costs!! Though I am sure he won't take me up on it, my wife and I invited his family down to Mobile for Thanksgiving. Do yourself a favor and call this man if you get pulled over in Alabama. Thank you Derek and I'll save a drumstick for you! (ha, ha!)

I met with Mr. Simms to handle a Municipal Court case. He explained my options, and his plan of execution, that made me feel so relieved. His compassion gave me comfort in a very dis-comfortable situation. The disposition of the case was wonderful and I am very pleased with his firm. I consider Mr. Simms my attorney!

Several months ago while on the way to see a play, I tripped on an uneven brick walkway just outside the theater and injured my face and knees. A friend referred attorney Simms to me. After a consultation, I hired him to handle my claim. I liked his professional and caring demeanor. He handled my case promptly and I was completely satisfied with the outcome. Needless to say, I highly recommend attorney Derek Simms to everyone.
