I have been using this Law Firm for years, specifically John Simms. While going through a divorce is never easy, as I learned, they can be very ugly. I had two other divorce attorneys prior to finding Mr. Simms and they made a bad situation, worse! I was fortunate to find John and have been extremely happy with what he has done for me over the years that I was dealing with this divorce. He is very professional and very fair, He would not hesitate to let me know if he thought that I was going in a bad direction or fighting a losing battle. My previous attorneys would have gladly taken my money and been more than happy to drag things on. John was extremely successful with my case, always quick in responding to my concerns, and very experienced in dealing with the courts and judges. I would recommend him to any of my friends and family that were going through this difficult situation! Thanks John, RB….

I waited for quite a while to write this rating. And I will be holding many things back. 1st Mr Simms seemed more interested in the woman involved in the case then the child being with a dad that loved his kid. He Especially gaulked at the attorney of my daughters mom. Never did any background checking on What the mother of my child lied about. Especially drs!! Never asked the drs or ckd with any other drs to get 2nd opinions. I Wasn’t granted to bring my daughter to any other drs. It was so unprofessional. I feel bad for any man that has this man for his childs guardian. He is anything but a guardian. Obviously couldn’t hold his own family together but is in charge of how other families should be handled. He doesn’t care about the children being with a parent that loves them especially if the woman is good looking. Wants to get paid and not for the hard work it takes to do the job he gets paid for. He is a disgrace for a guardian.
