Lyons & Simmons LLP Joins Forces With MADD North Texas to Strengthen Victim Support and Prevent Drunk Driving
Lyons & Simmons LLP, a Dallas-based trial law firm known for representing victims of catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death, has announced a new partnership with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) North Texas. The firm will serve as MADD’s exclusive Personal Injury Law Partner for the 2025–2026 term, committing its resources and advocacy to support victims and promote safer communities across North Texas.
A Shared Commitment to Accountability and Prevention
MADD’s long-standing mission focuses on ending drunk and drugged driving, preventing underage substance use, and supporting victims of these crimes. Funds raised through local efforts stay within North Texas, directly benefiting law enforcement programs, educational outreach, and victim service specialists who provide critical assistance to families affected by impaired driving incidents.
For Lyons & Simmons, this partnership represents more than a sponsorship—it’s an extension of their core purpose. The firm’s co-founder Michael Lyons emphasized that the collaboration reflects their dedication to standing up for those whose lives have been forever altered by negligence. “Partnering with MADD North Texas allows us to extend our advocacy beyond the courtroom and into the community,” said Lyons. “We stand with MADD in their mission to save lives, support victims, and create safer communities for families across North Texas.”
Turning Legal Advocacy Into Community Action
The alliance goes far beyond branding or financial contribution. Lyons & Simmons will play an active role in several of MADD North Texas’s initiatives throughout the year. The firm plans to participate in the annual MADD WALK, sponsor local awareness events, and contribute to law enforcement roundtables focused on prevention strategies. The attorneys will also engage directly with victims and their families through impact panels and community discussions, helping to bring visibility to the human cost of impaired driving.
Chris Simmons, the firm’s co-founder, described the collaboration as a natural step in the firm’s ongoing mission to pursue justice and accountability. “This partnership is a natural extension of our work,” Simmons explained. “Every case we take on is about accountability, prevention, and protecting families. Joining forces with MADD reinforces our dedication to those values.”
Why This Partnership Matters
Every year, thousands of families in Texas are affected by impaired driving. MADD’s programs have helped reduce fatalities and have supported survivors through some of the most challenging moments of their lives. By combining MADD’s advocacy network with Lyons & Simmons’s legal expertise, this partnership has the potential to strengthen community education and improve victim outreach across North Texas.
The firm’s involvement in continuing legal education programs also signals a focus on long-term impact. These sessions aim to equip attorneys and community leaders with updated knowledge about victim rights, legal remedies, and preventative measures that save lives. Through this initiative, Lyons & Simmons continues to reinforce its belief that justice should begin long before a case reaches the courtroom.
Building Safer Communities Through Leadership
Partnerships like this illustrate how legal professionals can influence meaningful change beyond their daily practice. By standing beside organizations like MADD, law firms can help bridge the gap between justice in the courtroom and safety on the streets. The message is clear: accountability doesn’t end with a verdict—it continues with community involvement and prevention efforts that stop tragedies before they occur.
Bringing Advocacy Full Circle
For Lyons & Simmons, the collaboration with MADD North Texas marks another step in their long-standing commitment to victims’ rights and community safety. Their involvement sends a clear signal that personal injury law is about more than litigation—it’s about protecting lives, standing with families, and ensuring that no victim feels forgotten. Together, Lyons & Simmons and MADD North Texas are setting a higher standard for what meaningful partnership can look like in action.
