About Philip Simpkins

Founding Partner specializing in civil litigation and family law.

Philip graduated from Southern Methodist University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science. After graduating SMU, he attended and received his Juris Doctor from Baylor University School of Law in 1997.

After passing the Texas State Bar, Philip went to work for the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office as an Assistant District Attorney. As a prosecutor, he began perfecting his trial skills by prosecuting over 70 jury trials, conducting the voir dire (jury selection), or as the lead prosecutor on various matters. Through his experience Philip gained a unique insight into the dynamics of the art of jury trials and prosecution.

After leaving the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office, Philip went on to practice insurance defense handling various complex matters before the court. Soon thereafter, his experience took him on to gain valuable first-hand experience in all facets of the litigation process. Throughout the years, he has taken and defended hundreds of depositions and written and argued complex motions throughout Texas and accumulated extensive jury trial, litigation, and prosecutor experience. Philip's diverse background has led him to practice primarily in commercial litigation.

Hired Attorney

Mr. Simpkins is extremely lazy and just does the minimum to get paid. He gave no effort to follow up or even follow the case. He did not supervise the other attorney on the case, who ended up quitting and leaving me in the cold. Do not hire this guy even if you life depends on it!!

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
