"MR. Barry Simon's typical sales guy who is sitting at his office and showing people how he wrote law books, he got zero respect at court, he don't even show up at court after he will recieve your money , in my situation he don't even bother himself to show me any evidence from DA against me , lies to me on the phone, Julie Swan at that time I hire him start work for him , she is even worse lier them Mr Barry, for 30k I been paying them they done absolutely nothing but keep postponing, zero investigation, never called me about any updates, on the top of it he lies to me I will see him at court on my case. Don't waste your money on scam lawyers, it's 90% of them in OC."

"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!"
