 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an issue with a possible charge. I was recommend to Jefferson Simmons by a civil lawyer since it turned out to be a criminal case. I wasn’t sure where to go and he noticed that. Even though it wasn’t something they would be able to help, he still pointed me in the right direction and guided me on my next steps. Going out of their way to help someone regardless if they can help speaks a lot on who they are. If for some reason I need help in the future I wouldn’t hesitate!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an auto accident January 23, 2022. I was never in the position of needing an accident attorney. A lady had turned left in front of me totaling my car and injuring us 3 ladies inside. I trusted my Estate Attorney and they gave me a referral to Long & Simmons. I am glad I asked for help finding a dependable, honest and easy to deal with practice. It did take over a year to get everything handled and cleared with the other insurance companies, they don't want to let go of their money. Matt Long was very patient with me and my questions and concerns. He explained everything so that I could understand what was going on.
If you ever are in need of legal representation do not hesitate to get a hold of Long & Simmons.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don’t know where to begin, other than Jefferson Simmons saved my life. I am so amazed at all that he did for me. I got an extreme DUI in Phoenix in Aug 2020 which was a 2nd offense, and another lawyer highly recommended Jefferson. From day one he just took the reins and was off like a rocket. I never once had to question anything or worry about anything. In Mar 2021 I had a traumatic head injury and had to have a major surgery, physical therapy, then a second surgery, etc. He made sure my case was put on hold until all my health issues were resolved. While my Phoenix DUI case was still in progress, I was charged with a 3rd extreme DUI in Scottsdale in Feb 2022, which in Arizona is a felony with 6 months in prison. Jefferson took that case on and juggled both cases and managed to keep my 3rd DUI out of felony court, so it remained a misdemeanor. Ultimately, I was sentenced to only 36 days jail for Scottsdale and 26 days jail for Phoenix, and it gets better. He got the Phoenix judge to let me serve that sentence concurrently with my Scottsdale sentence, so max days in jail ended being 36 days. He also got the Phoenix judge to accept everything I had to do for the Scottsdale case so I didn’t have to anything twice, i.e. MADD Victim Impact Panel, alcohol screening and classes, and 30 hrs community service. Jefferson is an amazing lawyer who no doubt truly cares about his clients. He fought so hard for me on both of my cases and kept me from having a felony on my record. I will forever be grateful to Jefferson because without him I would have no chance of getting my life back together.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are indebted to Claudia Horan for all the work she put into ensuring our accident case was properly settled.  She worked with Medicare, the hospitals, and the numerous Doctors to ensure they were paid fairly -- and more importantly -- we did not pay for more than we should have for services.  Additionally, Claudia worked with our insurance, and the other party's insurance company, to secure the proper settlement amount from BOTH insurance providers.

This experience has taught us that it is imperative to have great representation when negotiating with medical providers and insurance companies.  My wife, and I were both financial professionals during our working lives.  However, our business experiences were never going to provide us with the knowledge base necessary to settle our claim equitably.  It required a professional who can level the playing field and wisely negotiate on our behalf.  Claudia's knowledge of Medicare, hospital billing, Doctor billing, and the rules which apply to insurance companies was the game changer.

Claudia, Thank you for being there, and keeping us well informed, throughout this whole process.  With your help, we have avoided the financial trap which could have impacted our ability to live normally during our retirement.  Our bills are paid, our savings remain intact, and we can put the effects of the accident behind us.
