ABOUT KELLEY
Greetings! My name is Kelley Brooks Simoneaux and I am “The Pushy Lawyer”! I am an attorney, wife, mother, and disability advocate. A car wreck at 16 years old caused me to sustain a Spinal Cord Injury and I’ve been pushing (both literally and figuratively) ever since. Whether I am raising my children, running my home, practicing law, or advocating for myself and others, I am always “pushing” to make the most of each and every day.

More than 250,000 people with spinal cord injuries or other disabilities that require mobility devices, such as wheelchairs, depend on one company for those devices: NuMotion. Unfortunately, that provider is failing us.
Accessibility is not just "another service," a means to an end, or a legal checkbox. It's a crucial culture shift for an inclusive society.
Life immediately after a spinal cord injury is hectic and scary. We’re here to break it down for you.
I was thrilled to speak on my experience as both a Plaintiff and now a Plaintiff’s lawyer and was honored to be voted as the DC representative for the AAJ Board of Governors as well as accepting two new committee appointments (Diversity and Inclusion and Voter Protection) by AAJ’s newest President.
Learning to be an adaptive driver, following my spinal cord injury, has been a key to independence for me.
