I would be lying to say I knew attorney Joseph Simons for a long time. I meet via phone conversation after I googled criminal lawyers. At first, I was skeptical of the stellar five stars from 37 participants. Hence, I read each review. The common theme was professional, candid, and patient. So, my case was unique due to the circumstance, but nevertheless, the ramification of a guilty verdict would have life long consequences. Before, the actual court summons, I was fortunate to document every incident with the plaintiff. Therefore, when I provided what I had to Mr. Simons, it was more than enough. Yet, I was still nervous. After we discussed the preliminary strategy, I was a little bit at ease. During the hearing, Mr. Simons did not aggressively cross-examine the plaintiff but asked one thought-provoking question that warranted the plaintiff to validate the truth. Furthermore, it prompted the judge to reread the plaintiff’s affidavit. From there, the judge proceeded to ask the plaintiff further questions, which led to the case being dismissed. I was fortunate, but graceful to have a lawyer who was poised enough to understand the situation and ask the right question that allowed the judge to see/understand the truth. Again, not everyone is fortunate even if they are telling the truth or innocent. But, I am glad Mr. Simons was in my corner. He was professional during our phone conversations, candid with the possible outcomes and possible fees, and patient with his approach to the case and addressing the plaintiff’s accusations.

Mr. Simons was very professional, very knowledgeable, and very expedient in handling my case. I am extremely satisfied with his representation and would recommend his services to anyone that needs quality and professional representation. Would give a 10/10 if I could.

I had many legal questions, and I called Joe for a free consultation. Joe spent alot of time with me and even looked at the legal documents for me. Being the first time in a legal situation, and in the middle of this coronavirus panademic, he put me at ease, really helped me.

I was originally told by a friend to reach out to Joe after being charged with an OUI back in November, 2019. Throughout the entirety of this otherwise frustrating, slow process, Joe was always in frequent communication, is very approachable and easy to talk to, and got me the best possible result for my case through his persistent advocacy on my behalf. He is a truly excellent attorney and I would gladly hire him again without hesitation.

Joe worked with me on a restraining order placed by my ex-partner against me with false accusations. Since the first time I talked to him on the phone, he patiently listened to me, was understanding, answered all my questions and gave me some advice on how to work on the case. This was all before even hiring him! While working on my case, he was available to discuss every concern and question I had. Even though he never said we could win the case, his professionalism gave me the confidence and support I needed. Of course, we won the case and the order was not extended.

Paul is an excellent attorney. He has tremendous experience and expertise. For my family, he provided services that included reviewing and negotiating a contract. He was efficient and judicious with his time, and he provided unique insights that only a very experienced attorney could. We would definitely use him again.

Attorney Simons is a top-notch criminal defense attorney whom I trust. I refer my clients to him that require his services.

Excellent.

Joe came through for me in a big way. Being new to getting divorced unfortunately, Joe answered all my questions and gave what insight he had on the situation. When I need a lawyer, I know who I’m going to.

Hired for a friend. Attorney Simons has been phenomenal. He is knowledgeable and cares about his clients. I would definitely recommend him.

First Interaction - Joe's professional demeanor alleviates any undo stress during one's personal accounting of their story. Additional questions as to the circumstances and history of the case were gently requested and powerfully analyzed. The preliminary brainstorming session wrapped everything into a manageable chunk and left me excited to right the wrong. First Appearance - During my first appearance, Joe fought for a Pre-trial Probation which the Assistant-DA pushed against. Joe pushed through the hurdles of government bureaucracy to ensure that the PTP would remain on the table. Second Appearance - After month's of contact with the court, the PTP was denied and a Trial date was set. This date would be pushed back three times, during which time I moved out of state. Trial One - My family and I met Joe after flying in from out-of-state and he assuaged my family that everything would be fine. He acquired two witnesses to testify on my behalf. After a six and a half hour wait, the trial was postponed, but Joe fought hard to have the issue ended that day (almost getting kicked out of the room). Trial Two - With due diligence, Joe came after the A-DA like a hurricane. He respectfully asked my guidance on all matters and how to pursue the trial, while giving top-notch advice. In the end, I was given PTP of 18 months. Joe is an amazing individual and I count myself lucky to have had him on my Team. Thank you Joe.
