Reviews

Dustin Phillips is a straight forward and honest lawyer. I found myself in a situation facing 3 felony charges in the State of Oklahoma. Dustin Phillips was able to get the case dismissed with all charges being dropped. He walked my family and I through each step and process as this was the first time ever having to deal with a situation like this. He helped prove my innocence and I no longer have to deal with the stress of this situation and did not have to face punishment for a situation I had nothing to do with.

Roe Simmons is a top notch attorney. He will go the extra mile for his clients. He has been a huge help to my family. He is honest and fair. He has never let us down. I am truly grateful for him.

I hired Dustin, based on reviews I found online and his website, as part of a dream team, after watching the OJ trial, and that outcome. I am not new to the system and am well aware that lawyers can, and will sell you out, so I thought I could protect myself by hiring attorney’s from all across the state, that were not friends with each other, or the prosecutor. When your life is on the line, do whatever you can to protect it. It worked and my case was dismissed at preliminary hearing. The prosecutor did appeal to a higher court where it was also dismissed. At the preliminary hearing, 2 of the attorney’s would object in unison, while Dustin would just sit and remain quiet. I am so glad I had the other attorney’s there, because if I had to count on Dustin to fight for my life, I would most likely be sitting in a cell today, because he never did object to a single thing. Later, he told me, and the other attorney’s, it was an honor getting to watch them work, since they were significantly more experienced than he was. I essentially paid a schooling session, for Dustin. Paid him 2x what the other lawyers charged me, and I had a hard time even getting him to write a motion, for the return of some money, and a car they illegally took. I figured he could at least do that, since he did nothing to save my life, and the judge had already ordered my things to be returned. All he would have needed to do, was write a motion to get the judges signature. He acted as if he was above that, and most likely wouldn’t have done it, if one of the other attorney’s hadn’t asked him to draw up the motion. Almost lost another $25k for his lack of action. TO BE TOTALLY CLEAR, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND DUSTIN TO REPRESENT YOU IN ANY TYPE OF CRIMINAL MATTER. I would like to say a lot more about how he handled things, but I must stay within review guidelines. He asks to be paid up front, in full, and in my experience, if he has nothing to work for, he isn’t going to work hard, but that goes for all attorney’s. I have had many criminal cases, both state and federal, and have dealt with a number of attorneys for those reasons, as well as being a criminal defense paralegal. I give my background to show I have dealt with my fair share of defense attorneys, and in all those dealings, I can only think of 1-2 worse. I have finally left OK for good and happy about it. Be careful people, the system is not friendly, and being as you are looking at reviews for criminal defense lawyers, I wish you the best of luck. Make sure you take the situation very seriously and approach it as if your life depends on it. Now lets see if AVVO posts a negative review, or if it’s just a shill site for these attorneys.

At the beginning I did my research on Roe Simmons, before hiring him as my attorney and he seemed like he was very top notch. When I came to him as a client I was so nervous and scared I had no idea what I was up against. He was doing good job and got me to where I could see my daughter supervised up until I didn’t feel like he was treating me as client anymore, he didn’t really give me a chance to speak my side of things, he listened to everyone else over me, and he didn’t really keep me updated at all. Also made me feel like it was all my fault which it’s not true. I wouldn’t recommend him. He is rude, not communicative, and doesn’t give the chance to explain your side of things. I don’t feel like I was treated fairly and I wasn’t being heard as well.

Was trying to get details on adult guardianship or power of attorney from this guy totally rude, not even on the phone for four minutes and skimming through what to do and how to get the documents done and it's like no Help at all

Perfectly done!

I called him for a consult and I barely had a chance to get a word in. I didn't say what I was trying to do before he interrupted me saying he can't do anything for me. Trust me guy there IS still work to be done if you just listen to what direction I want to take and what concerns I have about my children.

Dustin Phillips represented a family member of mine, and he went through the whole process with us on what to do and what to expect every step of the way. He was very professional and always easy to reach when needed.

Attorney Roe is amazing. I have spent all day on the phone with attorneys in the area looking for legal advise on a very complex jurisdiction case. Roe is the first attorney who didn't just tell me everything I wanted to hear. He was direct, honest and explained the problems in my case that I didn't understand. The time he spent on the phone with me regarding my case is priceless, and while he advised me to take a different avenue that would involve out of state representation, you know this is a great attorney who cares as he was willing to turn down a paycheck to point me in the right direction. I have had 4 attorney offices today tell me to come pay them a retainer and they can have my case handled quick but were not even willing to talk to me on the phone to see if my complicated case is even something they legally know how to handle. I cannot begin to say enough good things about my brief experience with Roe but I will say that if he was willing to help me as much as he did without me even being his client I can only imagine what he will do when he represents you. Hire this office if you want results! Hire this office if you want to be heard by someone who cares about your case and your family! Go with Roe!

I hired Dustin to represent me and he was an amazing lawyer. He is incredibly knowledgeable. Very empathetic for your situation. Very easy to contact. If you have questions, then Dustin has answers. Dustin will fight for the right results for you, and he's a very reasonable person who can give you reasonable answers for the tough questions in your case. He is actually concerned for you. I *strongly* recommend that you look into Dustin if you need criminal defense.
