My name is Dave Simmons and I am a criminal defense attorney practicing in Broward County and the Greater Fort Lauderdale Area. For the last 30 years, I have made Broward County my home and for the last 27 years I have been practicing in this community as an attorney in the criminal law justice field. My firm is conveniently located in downtown Ft. Lauderdale near the main courthouse. I am a former prosecuting attorney for the State Attorney’s Office and former Public Defender in Broward County, Florida. As such, I have had the unique experience of handling both misdemeanor and felony cases on both sides of the judicial system.

EXPERIENCE: I have been practicing law in the criminal justice field for the past 27 years. A former State Attorney and Public Defender and now in private practice for the past 22 years, my practice is devoted to defending individuals accused of a criminal offences. A criminal offense is a serious matter with the potential of having a devastating impact on your reputation and livelihood. My experience as both a former prosecutor and public defender and now bolstered by 22 years experience as a private defense lawyer has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to assert the "very best" defense in your case with the mindset of having your case dismissed and your reputation restored.

MY GOAL: It is important that you seek consultation from an experienced criminal attorney early on in the process for many reasons. One of the most important being, the State Attorney’s Office, not the arresting police agency, will have discretion as to what charges may be filed against you. Early representation by our law firm may have the benefit of having your charges dropped completely or having the charges reduced to a lesser offense.

Any criminal charge can have a devastating effect on your reputation and your livelihood. It is the goal of my firm to have your case dismissed by utilizing every option available, including negotiations with the State Attorney, Diversion Programs, Motion Practice and Trial, and upon dismissal to have the case removed from your permanent record.

•Shoplifting/Theft
