Law Offices of Simmons and Hodge, PLC

Hands down, Ken Hodge is the BEST attorney for difficult child custody cases -- and I don't say that lightly. My case was the mother of all cases -- high-conflict, emotionally exhausting, and dragged out over 12 long years due to a manipulative ex who knew how to play games in court. I had multiple attorneys before Ken, and none of them fully understood the dynamics or were successful in defending my rights... until Ken took over. From day one, Ken Hodge approached my case with unmatched professionalism, laser-sharp attention to detail, and a deep understanding of what was really going on -- even the things that weren't said outright. He's not just a skilled litigator; he can read between the lines and sees through the smoke and mirrors. His court presence is exceptional -- calm, commanding, and always prepared. Ken does not waste your time or money. Every move is intentional and strategic. He communicates clearly, keeps you updated, and truly treats your case like it's his top priority. He was my attorney for seven years, and through every twist and turn, he never wavered in his dedication. Family law is incredibly emotional -- but having a great attorney is what makes the difference between surviving the process and being crushed by it. Ken doesn't just show up for you legally -- he genuinely cares, fights hard, and stands beside you through it all. He will always be my attorney, and I am forever grateful I found him.

Ken was extremely wonderful to work with in my custody case. I felt seen and supported in every way. Hopefully i won't have to, but if i ever need an attorney in the future, he will definitely the person i call. i could not have asked for a better person to represent me! 10 stars in my book!

Jennifer Simmons is a fully competent and capable attorney, however, from my personal experience with her she is very rude and she lacks empathy for her clients' difficult situations. On several occasions while interacting with Ms. Simmons she spoke to me in a very condescending manner as if I were beneath her and spoke to me like a child. More importantly, Ms. Simmons was more interested in reaching an agreement with the other party (who had an attorney she is friends with) than actually fighting to protect my children, which is why I hired her in the first place. She also tried to use my past from almost 20 years ago before my children were born against me while counseling me to agree to stipulations I was not comfortable with. She kept threatening me that I "would lose my kids." Ms. Simmons belittled my relationship of 13 years with my ex fiancee and father of my 3 children by stating "You weren't even married....your BOYFRIEND this...your BOYFRIEND that..." Ms. Simmons certainly doesn't make you feel that she is on your side. She is very cold. She has a sort of attitude as though she is paying you for her time and not the other way around. If you want an attorney that will fight for you, this is not the one to go with. If you want an attorney that understands you and has empathy for one of the most difficult times in your life, don't waste your money with Jennifer Simmons. It seems her title has gone to her head and she lacks common courtesy and basic people skills. In court, I had to have my Guardian Ad Litum changed because Ms. Simmons had a conflict with the one the judge assigned. She told me it was because said Guardian Ad Litum "used to work for me and left on bad terms." This woman is confrontational. I hope this honest review helps someone else from wasting their time and money with Jennifer Simmons as she has wasted my precious time and resources. I Have the receipt to prove I was an actual client.

I have been working with Jennifer Simmons for about 2 years on my child custody case. Our case was quite complex, but I can say that through the process I always felt like Jennifer had my and my childs best interest in mind. I came to her lost and confused. What we appreciate the most is her honesty and how straightforward she was - Jennifer Simmons not sugarcoat situations and give us a false hope. If we were mistaking - she would say it. She was committed, involved and professional. She gave us advices on how to handle difficult situations and did more than just assist us legally. She guided us to grow as people and to learn how to handle stressful situations better - which does not have have a price tag. Jennifer Simmons is not the cheapest attorney out there, but we truly believe she is the best.

I typically would avoid putting my own stuff out there, but saw some of these postings and felt compelled to write my experience as it is relevant and quite current. Allow me to preface this by saying that if you are looking for the most inexpensive, cheapest attorney - then Jennifer is not for you. She is a professional and a SME in her profession. Experts cost money folks I certainly don't expect to be paid pennies on the dollar for my skill level. With that being said Jennifer is one of the most ethically sound attorneys that I have ever had interactions with...Almost annoyingly so...lol.. Therefore, please take note: If you are looking for representation that will be on your side no matter what you do - She may not be for you as she represents the "common sense" approach and legally/ethically there is a right and wrong way of doing things. In my experience Jennifer works tirelessly to keep her clients on the "right" side of law and ensure that their actions and outcome are fair. She is highly respected in the area courts, which informs me that she has maintained a positive reputation. Her staff has always been courteous and open in communicating with me in a timely manner. I appreciate her work and would recommend her to anyone.
