Testimonials

When I first reached out, I was facing one of the most frightening and uncertain moments of my life. I felt overwhelmed, anxious, and unsure of what the future might hold. Anyone who has ever faced the justice system knows how isolating and intimidating it can feel at the beginning.

From my very first conversation, I felt a sense of relief. They treated me with dignity, patience, and genuine compassion during a time when I needed it most. They took the time to explain everything clearly, step by step, and never made me feel like just another case file. Their communication was consistent and reassuring, and whenever I had questions or worries, they were there to guide me and help me understand the process.

What meant the most to me was knowing that someone truly cared about the outcome of my case and about my future. They fought for me, stood beside me, and helped me stay calm through what could have been an overwhelming experience.

The final result meant more to me than I can properly put into words. It gave me the ability to move forward with my life, my family, and my future without the weight and fear that I had been carrying when this all began.

I would recommend this firm without hesitation to anyone facing a difficult legal situation.

That is exactly what you will find here. I will always be grateful for the support, professionalism, and dedication they showed me during one of the most difficult chapters of my life.

Can’t say enough good things about Scott. Always got back to me quickly, walked me through everything without making me feel stupid, and actually seemed to care how things turned out. Really glad I went with them. Would 100% use again. They were always available when I had questions, never made me feel rushed, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. I genuinely felt like they cared about MY situation, not just the case. We got a great outcome, and I couldn’t have asked for more.

Attorneys Lawson and Simmons are the best. They fight for you unbelievably hard. Communications with them are always fast and responsive. I have never had to deal with the justice system before so naturally I had a million questions and they answered all of them expertly, professionally, and patiently. They developed the best strategy for my case and executed like a skilled surgeon. When the state is coming after you with their unlimited resources these are the attorneys you need in your corner to protect your rights and liberty. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

I highly recommend Scott Simmons and Susan Lawson at Lawson & Simmons for anyone facing serious criminal charges. My situation stemmed from a significant miscommunication that unfortunately escalated, with the potential for severe long-term consequences.
From the start, Scott was exceptionally honest, realistic, and empathetic when appropriate. He never sugarcoated things or encouraged outcomes that weren’t virtually certain, even when they seemed probable. At first, this caution felt frustrating to me as a client hoping for reassurance, but I came to deeply appreciate it—it’s a professional approach that minimizes risk, manages expectations, and protects everyone involved.
What really stood out was the genuine care, compassion, and lack of judgment shown by both Scott and Susan Lawson. They clearly understand that people don’t end up in these situations for no reason and refrained entirely from petty character judgments. Instead, they focused on the full context and treated me with dignity and respect throughout. After I was sent to mental health court for a competency evaluation—an emotionally draining experience—Scott personally called me afterward just to check in and make sure I was okay. That small gesture meant a lot. I also felt comfortable opening up to Susan about a deeply personal piece of jewelry I wear and its meaning to me; she was incredibly receptive, empathetic, and kind in her response, which helped me feel truly supported.
Scott listened carefully, explained every option clearly, and kept me informed throughout the process with prompt and thorough communication. Susan was warm, professional, and consistently supportive in our interactions. She even took the initiative to extend a related civil matter, allowing crucial time for discovery—which turned out to be huge for strengthening the criminal case.
Scott worked diligently with the assistant state attorney to demonstrate the complete absence of criminal intent and effectively advocated for mental health considerations. Through his persistent, strategic efforts—and input from those involved—he secured an outstanding resolution: a withhold of adjudication, a short period of community service hours, a mental health evaluation, and an anger management course. This leaves me eligible for record sealing and potentially even expungement—far better than what could have been decades in prison.
I’m truly grateful for Scott’s expertise, integrity, and steady guidance, as well as Susan Lawson’s warmth, empathy, proactive advocacy, and genuine support. They treated me like a person in a difficult situation, not just a case. If you need a criminal defense team who will fight hard while showing real compassion and understanding, Scott Simmons and Susan Lawson at Lawson & Simmons are the right choice. Five stars!

When your freedom and future are on the line, choosing the right legal team matters more than anything and Attorney Simmons and Attorney Lawson exceeded every expectation I had.

I cannot recommend Lawson and Simmons, PLLC highly enough. Attorney Scott Simmons helped me through one of the most difficult and emotionally taxing legal situations of my life, and I truly do not know where I would be without him.

From the very beginning, Attorney Simmons was not only an exceptional attorney, but an incredible source of support. Often, I needed guidance, reassurance, or advice during the evening or even on a Sunday, and Attorney Simmons always took the time to respond or contact me whether he was in the office or not. That level of accessibility and care is rare (especially in a highly skilled and experienced lawyer). I can truly say he is in this profession for the right reason to fight for good people’s future and their freedom. He supported me emotionally the entire way and never made me feel like a burden or an afterthought. I never felt judged, either.

Attorney Simmons also made sure I was fully informed throughout the entire process. He explained every step, every potential outcome, and every decision clearly and thoroughly. I always knew what was happening with my case and felt confident and knowledgeable at every stage. Because of his confidence, transparency, and dedication, I was able to be largely hands off and place my full trust in him to defend me and protect my freedom.

I also want to recognize Attorney Lawson, who was there for me on an emergency basis overnight when I needed an immediate consult. Attorney Lawson worked closely with Attorney Simmons on my case and demonstrated the same level of professionalism, urgency, and compassion. Together, they make an exceptional team.

Freedom is priceless. I learned this when placed in a difficult situation. The trust and confidence I have in Attorney Simmons and Attorney Lawson is just as priceless. If you are looking for attorneys who are highly skilled, deeply compassionate, and truly invested in their clients as human beings, look no further. I could not imagine trusting anyone else.

Scott is the best! He is a honest lawyer who showed real empathy and was very clear with compassionate advice. Always responsive and we got fantastic results. Highly recommended!

I cannot recommend Scott Simmons and Susan Lawson highly enough. I came to them when my back was against the wall with another law firm, and the stakes couldn’t have been higher for my personal life.

​What sets Scott apart is that he doesn’t just ‘get the job done’—he truly, genuinely cares. He is extremely honest, even when the news is tough to hear, and he fought to turn my situation around completely. Even though my case is over, we still keep in touch. If you want a lawyer who treats you like a human being and not just a case number, look no further.
