About Audrey Antoinette
Audrey Antoinette Simmons completed her legal education and moved into criminal defense work. She trained in the courtroom and behind the scenes. That early exposure shaped the practical approach she brings to her cases today.
Her career has included time working on behalf of people facing state criminal charges. She learned to manage the small details that often make the difference in a case — reviewing discovery, interviewing witnesses, and preparing motions. Over time she began to take on more complex matters and to assume greater responsibility for trial preparation and courtroom strategy.
Simmons’s practice centers on criminal defense. She handles pretrial work, negotiates pleas when appropriate, and conducts jury trials. She prepares evidence-based defenses, examines forensic reports, and coordinates investigations. Her courtroom work reflects steady preparation and an eye for procedural issues that can affect outcomes.
Professional engagement is part of her routine. She is a current member of the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and maintains additional professional memberships. Those affiliations provide regular opportunities to follow changes in case law and to take part in continuing legal education that is relevant to criminal practice in Georgia.
She operates from The Simmons Legal Firm, where she manages client matters and case teams. The office handles a range of state-level criminal cases. Simmons balances client advocacy with case management duties, overseeing filings, court appearances, and negotiations. Colleagues describe her approach as methodical. Clients can expect hands-on attention to case details.
Outside the courtroom, she spends time preparing client-centered materials and coordinating with experts when a case warrants it. She also places importance on clear communication, explaining procedural steps and likely timelines so clients understand what to expect. That practical orientation helps in tense situations that often accompany criminal charges.
Her work continues to be local and practice-driven. She remains active in professional circles that focus on criminal defense and continues to handle cases through The Simmons Legal Firm. Her current practice centers on criminal defense in Georgia.
