A couple of years ago, I was in an automobile accident. Another driver ignored a red light. At first, I believed I was fine and actually decided against seeing an attorney. A few months later, I began to have a lot of physical problems, and I started to wonder if I had made a mis-judgment. A friend strongly recommended that I call Simien & Simien, LLC. Making that phone call was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From the intake staff to the attorney assigned to my case, everyone at Simien & Simien, LLC, was courteous, reassuring and professional. It took a while, but the case was settled in my favor. I have nothing but praise for my lawyers, and I highly, and most enthusiastically recommend Simien & Simien, LLC. Thank you!
