Barry T Simons

I recommend Barry highly. I came to him in tears and in fear of my professional license due to a DUI. Barry was empathetic and gentle as he explained what outcome I could expect and developed a legal defense strategy for me. That strategy worked like a charm! I was facing severe penalties but with Barry's guidance and representation, I received the minimum sentence. His staff was always extremely responsive and professional. His communication was superb and I always knew in advance what was happening in my case and when. Thank you Barry and staff! Well worth the expense and a very grateful client!

I retained Barry Simons from a referral from a neighbor. After going through a divorce and finding out how horrible and damaging a bad attorney can be, I made sure to interview 6 attorney's for my felony DUI case. After interviewing and meeting with 6 attorney's one being Barry, I realized through talking to them that my case was really bad and that I stand no chance to win my DMV hearing. The other attorney's basically said that going to the DMV hearing would be pointless and that 90% of them are a loss. Barry was the only attorney that pointed out some of the flaws in my case and said that their might be a chance that we can beat the DMV hearing and the refusal charge. I decided to retain Barry and his office for my case. After meeting with Barry and seeing how knowledgeable he is regarding DUI cases and how much work he put into my case I felt very comfortable that I hired the right attorney for the job. Him and I discussed how we should proceed with the DMV hearing and decided that it is best that I go with him and testify. When we left the DMV hearing I was blown away at how amazing of an attorney Barry really is. We received a letter in the mail about 10 days later stating that we WON the DMV hearing! I was in shock and elated. I have referred Barry to at least two other people dealing with similar situations. If I could give Barry 10 stars I would.

They were thorough through the entire process. I could always speak to attorneys Barry Simons or Daniel Flores whenever there was a question. They left no room for error every step of the way and their staff was attentive and able to bring up support documentation whenever needed. All this would have merited a good review. However, their real value came when I had a post-trial issue. Although I was no longer officially a client, they showed up in court to support me without question. There was a true commitment to my well being that went above and beyond -- and that is rare. Oh, and did I mention that they helped reduce my penalty? Thank you Barry, Daniel and Team!

There is a lot of good things that I can say about Barry Simons. I had received a Felony DUI in May 2016. I was bailed out of jail. Upon my release, I inquired w.r.t. an attorney that has a high bar in ethics and was able to get results. After my inquiries and research, I ended up at Barry Simons law office in Laguna Beach. Now I have had previous felony priors, so I needed someone that was going to give me their best in representation. There is a lot of hype about lawyers that take your money and do not adequately represent you if at all. A lot of that is true and by firsthand knowledge. This is absolutely not the case with Barry. He is worth every penny and then some. I have to personally thank Barry in the manner in which he handled my case. I will go as far as to say he took a personal interest in me and my case. While I was facing some years in prison, Barry was able to keep from that happening. I was a complete wreck and in the deepest dark thralls of my alcoholic addiction. Barry was the one who got me to a physician that specializes in this kind of dependency. That doctor got me on a counter active regimen that combats further abuse. To this day I am still with this doctor. Barry got me proactive in my court ordered requirements. Now what I was facing and what I wanted the outcome to be were 2 different ideas. I resisted and Barry guided my thinking to a more practical level of what was to come. After a few court dates and some sobriety under my belt I was ready to face my consequences. The outcome was one of true marvel that Barry performed. I spent very little time in jail, not what I expected. I had the usual court ordered requirements outline by my case. He was able to make so that I avoided any court programs or lengthy incarceration. Today I am free and I have completed most of my court order requirements. In addition, I am still sober and happy. I owe all this to Barry Simons. If it weren't for his personal dedication to my well-being and court case, I am not sure where I would be today. He never missed a court date nor was ever late. Thank you Barry and all you have done for me.

I live in Texas and hired Mr Simons to represent me in order to clear up an old charge in the State of California. I had no idea where to start in the process. I began a tiring search for representation involving many, many phone calls to various firms, most of which, never got back to me or gave me the run-around. I had come across Mr Simon's information and reviews stating that he ran a reputable firm. After an almost immediate telephone consultation on my first call, I was given clear timelines, goals and expectations regarding my case. During the entire process, I was able to call and speak with my attorney directly within 24hrs of my inquiry. My attorney clearly reached out to me if anything was needed on my behalf by phone or email. His knowledge of California law led to a speedy and favorable determination in my favor. Being out of state, the communication really kept me at ease with how things were progressing. It gave me peace of mind that I needed in order to live my day-to-day. It gave me confidence that everything was in good hands and that I was being represented by a solid and capable attorney. I would highly recommend this firm and encourage anyone seeking representation to consult with Mr Simons.
