Overview

John Simmons founded Simmons Law Firm after handling high-profile criminal cases in South Carolina as the United States Attorney for the District of South Carolina and as an Assistant United States Attorney. He brings that courtroom experience to a law firm focused on pursuing justice for individuals and families in civil matters, including catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases.

Our attorneys draw on experience gained through judicial clerkships, trials in state and federal courts, and work with defense firms representing corporations and insurance companies. This background helps us develop thoughtful legal strategies for both litigation and settlement negotiations.

For more than 25 years, Simmons Law Firm has represented clients facing serious injuries and families coping with the loss of a loved one. From the initial free consultation through the resolution of a case, we remain focused on guiding clients through the legal process with clear communication, responsive service, and dedicated representation.

We work to help clients pursue meaningful results while providing support and answers during a difficult time.
