About Us

Simmons Law, LLC was founded in 2016 after Attorney Alexis Simmons left the world of legal aid to start a private practice that catered to similar clients: those who may not qualify for legal aid, but cannot pay a large retainer that most firms require.

 

Attorney Simmons is active in the Rockford community. She serves as the Secretary of the Board of Directors for Circles of Learning and is the Family and Child Law Sections Co-Chair of the Winnebago County Bar Association. Attorney Simmons also donates her time to represent Children's Safe Harbor, a no-cost supervised parenting time service. In her free time, Attorney Simmons enjoys soccer, tennis, and HIT, as well as baking cookies and other desserts. She also enjoys traveling and spending time with her two young children, as well as singing with the Nielson Chorale for the annual Holiday Pops Concert.
