I phones this law office last week (9-16-21) to discuss my case with an attorney and as of today Sunday I haven't had a return phone call yet. The lady that took my phone calls that someone would call me within next to 15 to 20 minutes. Apparently she was working from home I guess because it was dogs barking in the background and she may have had company as well because she was telling somebody by at the same time she was trying to talk to me on the phone at the same time. It's really sad!

I hired this lawyer and never met him. I live in Galveston so I tried to be understanding as possible. I was hit by a driver who failed to yield and had active insurance when his tags were ran and he was promptly arrested on scene and ticketed for not yielding the right of way and a suspended license. The case manager Mimi is very sweet, I give her that, but I needed help in my case that I was not given. When this lawyer thought he found out the guy who hit me had no insurance the night of the accident,they dropped my case like I was no one. I then called the insurance company myself and have

I had a bad accident a couple of years ago, being the sole provider I was concerned as to what was gonna happen, I was introduced to Simon & ORourke by complete coincidence being at the right place at the right time and it was a true blessing. This firm was a God send, they were awesome they tended to every single thing with my injuries and in the end they came through. Two amazing people especially Shaun and Kathryn are my angels, I highly recommend this very professional, dedicated and aggressive firm. If you want real results these are the people to turn to in times of need!
