Life Changing

Jacob truly changed our lives. We were in crushing debt and didn't know where to turn. Jacob was a calm presence in an unknown situation. He took the time to explain everything to us and guide us through the entire process. We knew we were in good hands from the moment we met him. Thank you, Jacob, f...or everything.

All In for the duration

Jacob was an amazing attorney who knew the ins and outs of my case that stretched out for what I would say felt like forever. I personally felt like he was in it to do good for someone who got the short end. An amazing attorney who seemed to take it personally - I am lucky I found him, as I think lif...e could be different if I didn't.

Relief in a Stressful Time

Jacob was a life saver. I was stressed, miserable, and embarrassed that I was over my head in debt. I imagined that filing for bankruptcy would be a difficult and painful process, but not with Jacob. He is friendly, understanding, and efficient and he was able to quickly navigate and close my case. I...f you're looking for a great bankruptcy lawyer, look no further.

Honest & Helpful Attorney

I have worked with many attorneys in the past, but Jacob Simon was by far the best. He took my issue seriously and handled it with sensitivity and respect. I never felt judged or patronized, and his consistent honesty put me at ease during a most difficult time. The impression he left on me was one o...f a person who sincerely wants to help his clients. I would recommend him to anyone.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
