Simons Law Group was professional, fast and efficient when handling my case. Attorney Simons and her paralegal provided detailed attention to my case which concluded with success. I highly recommend Simons Law Group.

I had contacted Simons Law Group to set up a meeting with attorney Diane Simons to discuss my case. I received prompt attention from her staff and was able to discuss my potential case with attorney Simons the next day. The day after I hired Simons Law Group, my case was filed and was moving ahead with full force. Very professional, caring and attentive staff and attorney.

Ms. Simons is never in the office. Always “on vacation”. Never returns paying clients calls blames staff for missed calls. I believe her cell phone is what is listed as her contact number, so I’m unsure how not returning messages on a cell phone provided on pens and business cards is the fault of staff. When you do get Ms. Simons on the phone, she is hostile and acts annoyed by questions regarding Association concerns. It’s also concerning, that the turnover of employees in this firm is high. There have been 3 attorneys our Association can count that have left within less than 6 months and 2 paralegals. Ms. Simons also seems to blame any error on whoever departed the firm last, instead of looking into the matter. The attorney rates are also misleading and never explained when questioned.

I was a client of Diane’s until I witnessed her behavior at a marketing happy hour. The entire time she was throwing back drink after drink and saying inappropriate and personal things about her staff. It was appalling the things coming out of mouth. She then proceeded to get in her vehicle and drive while heavily intoxicated! This is not the person I want representing my Association. The Board found new counsel and terminated her firm’s services within the week. As a community manager I now ensure none of my clients are represented by Simons Law Group.
