The Law Office of Barry T. Simons 260 Saint Ann's Drive, Laguna Beach, CA 92651

"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."

"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!"

"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 first met Mr. Simons in 1999 when I heard his presentation at a national DUI Defense seminar. I soon learned why lawyers from across the country admire him. Although Barry co-authors a text on the topic of DUI defense in California (California Drunk Driving Law), I believe the reason he does so well is due more to his concern about his clients and his ability to communicate in a most persuasive manner. He provides his clients the best opportunity to obtain an acquittal by expending the extra effort to be thoroughly prepared and think “outside the box.” I strongly recommend Barry Simons as a DUI Defense lawyer. In fact, I have risked my own reputation to do so. While I don’t have the opportunity to refer many cases from Tennessee to California, I have in fact had the opportunity to refer a few cases to Mr. Simons. I am pleased to state that those clients who were referred to him came back with glowing reports about their results and the way his staff treated them. The quality of DWI defense of the citizen accused has been greatly enhanced by the contributions of this dedicated lawyer. Mr. Simons understands the defenses related to breath and blood alcohol testing, he is ethical, and his trial skills are well known by the judges and envied by the lawyers."

"When looking for a good attorney you want to choose someone who is first experienced, has a specific expertise (DUI), and a proven successful track record. The law offices of Barry Simons has all of those attributes and then some. Not to mention his staff is professional and understand the how to fight a DUI case. They are always available and you will get the feeling you are the only person they are working with. They have proven that they will fight your case and have the ability to get your charges reduced. I highly recommend the law offices of Barry T. Simons."
