Simmons is licensed to practice in Tennessee and has been recognized in Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America in the areas of commercial litigation, labor-and-employment law and employment litigation.
He graduated from the University of Tennessee College of Law magna cum laude, holds a degree in finance and an MBA.
