Phone Number (844) 297-8898

As a founding partner of Lyons & Simmons, Christopher Simmons focuses his practice on representing clients in complex civil litigation involving wrongful death, catastrophic personal injuries, product liability, complex business disputes, construction defects, and professional liability.

He has a well-earned reputation as a trial lawyer who combines a tireless work ethic with a creative, “outside the box” approach to achieve outstanding results for his clients. Simmons believes results speak louder than words, as he treats his clients’ legal problems as his own, Simmons’ clients have a reassurance that he will fight for them.  Anytime. Anywhere.

He has tried cases to verdict throughout the state of Texas and obtained multimillion-dollar results for his clients in cases across the country. Simmons and the attorneys of Lyons & Simmons have recovered hundreds of millions in judgments, awards, and settlements on behalf of clients in a wide array of matters.
