General Information
Overview
The Lyons & Simmons, LLP story began when Trial Lawyers Michael Lyons and Chris Simmons joined together intending to start a law firm that truly cares about its clients. Since our formation, Lyons & Simmons has handled some of the most important and complex cases in the country while securing record-setting results. For example, just in recent history, the firm obtained the largest verdict in a wrongful death personal injury case in the history of Midland County, Texas, and has secured the largest settlement in a wrongful death case in the history of the state of Oklahoma for a single adult wrongful death claimant. Our results on behalf of a former Power 5 head football coach in a high profile breach of contract case earned the firm a place among the finalists for the National Law Journal's Elite Trial Lawyers Awards.
Our work has earned multiple statewide and national recognitions, including Super Lawyers, the Million Dollar, and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forums, The Best Lawyers in America, America’s Top 100 High Stakes Litigators, D Magazine’s Best Lawyers in Dallas, Best Personal Injury Firm by Texas Lawyer, the John Howie Award from the Dallas Trial Lawyers Association, Lawdragon 500 Leading Plaintiff Consumer Lawyers, the National Law Journal Plaintiffs’ Lawyers Trailblazers and as one of the "Best Law Firms" by US News & World Report.
Committed to Protecting Your Rights
As a boutique firm, Lyons & Simmons, LLP has the flexibility many larger law firms lack, but without forsaking results. Our unflinching pursuit of justice leads us into courtrooms not only across Texas, but the rest of the country as well.
Simply put, our size allows us to focus on cases that matter and give our clients the personalized attention and support they deserve.
