“Chris is an extremely talented, accomplished, and focused young lawyer who has earned the trust of his clients and respect from fellow attorneys,” says firm co-founder Michael Lyons. “His promotion to Partner is well-deserved.”

Mr. Simmons earned his law degree from Southern Methodist University's Dedman School of Law in 2008 and his undergraduate degree, with honors, from Texas A&M University in 2004.
