About Sharon Simmons-Cantrell

I am the President and Partner of Simmons and Fletcher, P.C., a Houston personal injury law firm founded in 1979 by my late uncle, Robert S. Simmons.

I have been with the firm since 1986, beginning as a law clerk while I was still in college, and have practiced as an attorney with the firm continuously since my admission to the Texas Bar in 1991.

I purchased the firm at the end of 2020 with my partners, Christopher K. Fletcher and Paul H. Cannon, and have served as President since.

I lead the firm's pre-litigation department. My practice covers car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, premises liability, slip and fall, dog bite, brain and head injuries, burn injuries, construction accidents, defective products and wrongful death claims throughout Houston, Katy, Cypress, Memorial, Sugar Land, and across Texas.

I was named to the Super Lawyers list by Thomson Reuters every year from 2023 through 2026. I was recognized as Living Magazine's Leading Women in 2021, named a Top Personal Injury Attorney by Lawyer's Monthly in 2022, named a Featured Member of Lawyers of Distinction in 2022, and named a Top Lawyer by H Texas Magazine every year from 2013 through 2019.

I hold a 10/10 rating on Avvo.

I earned my J.D. from the University of Houston Law Center in 1991 and my B.S. in Psychology from Texas A&M University in 1988, where I graduated with Honors and Distinction.

I serve as a Deacon at Willow Meadows Baptist Church and have been involved in the children's ministry there since 2000. I am a member of the Christian Trial Lawyers Association and the Texas Aggie Bar Association.

I have been a Girl Scout leader for 15 years.

I am available for media commentary on Texas personal injury law, insurance negotiation, premises liability, and the unique needs of women and families seeking legal representation after an injury.

These FAQs include information about a lawyer's background, but do not evaluate their knowledge of the law, past performance on individual cases, personality, or communication skills.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
