Highly Recommend

I retained Sal Simeone to handle my post divorce alimony matter. He was also my attorney during my divorce eight years ago. Sal is a very experienced and knowledgeable attorney with excellent interpersonal skills. He guided me through a very stressful and unpleasant time and obtained the best settlem...ent for me given the current situation. Sal knew that I did not want to litigate this matter, so he did everything possible to settle this case for me, and he succeeded in doing so. Sal is a professional, honest and ethical attorney. He is a strong no-nonsense attorney, but he is also very kind and compassionate. He was sensitive to my emotional state during this difficult time; he counseled me and helped me to stay the course. I felt that not only did he want to obtain the best settlement for me, he was also concerned about my well-being. Sal always followed up with me in a timely manner. He even reached out to me after the case was settled to make sure I was satisfied with the outcome and to reassure me that I made the right decision. I highly recommend working with Sal Simeone.

An Indefatigable Fighter

I was 1 year into a contentious divorce that was not going anywhere. A friend of a friend recommended Sal highly to me. I switched lawyers and it was an invaluable blessing. Sal is a fighter, and someone who can guide you through the often discouraging and seemingly endless NJ divorce/custody proc...ess. He was tireless in defending my interests, and never backed down from vigorously advocating for me and my children (and more than once gave me a needed pep talk so I would stay the course). Our adversary was profoundly unethical and deeply troubled (with equally unethical lawyers), threatening us at every turn, and Sal was firm and resolute in guiding me through the process. Notably, we won our desired outcome. He is also sober and will be honest with you about your odds/options at every step of the process. My process was multi-year and included just about every step a divorce process with children can include, and Sal was on top of it every step of the way. Lastly and importantly, Sal is well known and well respected (and feared?) by other lawyers, mediators, evaluators, counselors and judges, which was made abundantly clear as the process unfolded. This matters. Most lawyers in Morris County would rather settle than face Sal in trial, and this will further help any client who retains him. He also has excellent associates who work with him (I highly recommend Michelle Wortmann). Could not recommend him and his associates high enough.

Amazing attorney and human being!!

I wish I knew Sal Simeone when I started my divorce 10 years ago, but thrilled that he is helping me and my children now. He is incredible!! He is knowledgeable, experienced, trust worthy, kind and humble. Not only does he know exactly what he's doing, he treats me like a person, not a revenue source.... His experience and heart show with every move he makes. He is truly trying to help me. I feel confident every time we speak and go to court. He has my back and I'm thrilled to work with him. I would highly recommend him for any family court matters. He is the right choice.

The best in the business

I was fortunate enough find Mr. Sal Simeone. If you are reading this review I would consider you very fortunate as well. No need to look elsewhere if you have to hire an attorney. Sal is the best attorney I have ever dealt with. I've had dealings with other matrimonial attorneys and many others as as... a mall business owner and professional and I am still most impressed and grateful for his services. I am a tough critic and I am overly impressed with Sal. He is at the top of his field, no doubt. I've seen, heard and witnessed enough over the years to say that without a doubt. His knowledge and professionalism are unmatched. I've had years of experiences in/out of court and with each challenge came another WIN. That's what he does. He WINS. He prepares as though it is personal to him. He has an uncanny ability to follow all the details and uniqueness of each situation, many times I found myself amazed at the things he knew/remembered literally in the heat of battle (courtroom). Again, that comes from his preparation. He always made sure he was prepared! I've spent many late nights on the phone for hours reviewing and preparing with him. *Don't just take it from me though.* I tell this story all the time. We were about 5 hours into a hearing when the Judge interrupted to say ; "I just have to say, this is the most impressive legal arguments and representation I've seen my 25 year career as a judge" Yes that happened. And a couple of hours later, WE WON Again. Full, permanent restraining order of my ex-wife. ONE winning example. I really can't say enough about my experience with him. He was able to get me 100% custody of my 2 beautiful daughters when others told me it wouldn't happen. Through the years I still use much of his wisdom in my daily life and will be forever grateful.

Look no further

At one of the worst times of my life i was Blessed enough to be referred to Sal Simeone. I was left a note on a Friday night that my husband of 27 yrs was leaving, I didn’t know what to do,I was in disbelief and shock and couldn’t think straight. My sister put a call into Mr Simeone on Saturday after...noon and he kindly agreed to meet with me on Sunday morning, yes Sunday. I was scared and vulnerable, he was professional, kind and so very compassionate. He listened thru my tears, giving me time to take as many breaks as i needed. He spent as much time as I wanted telling me, “today I am here just to inform you and protect you” and never charged me for that session. From that moment on he made me feel like i was his family, even giving me his private cell number so i could reach him day or night. He is very honest and has integrity. He told me from the start he had an associate who i could use to do some of the footwork to save money. He would oversee all work and at any point if i wanted he would take over completely, the decision was mine to make. He guided me every step of the way and, often stopped me from making poor decisions that he knew would impact the rest of my life. I was still thinking with my heart wanting to be liked and because of that was willing to compromise too much. My strong advocate Sal would listen and then respond, “I cant let you do that.” Sal used his experience and expertise in family law to be sure I was receiving a fair and equitable settlement and not being taken advantage of. He returned calls immediately, drafted strong worded responses and, was a force to be reckoned with in our mediation and courthouse sessions, always commanding the negotiations. Mine was not an easy divorce at all and I am thankful Sal knew the law the way he did and, was confident, assertive and never backed down. I must also stress his interpersonal and mediation skills. At one court mandated meeting my husband became verbally abusive. Sal stepped in, addressed him respectfully regarding the unnecessary language which, resulted in an apology and, the ability to move forward in a productive meeting. He is in a league all his own and if you are looking for a strong, confident attorney with years of experience, one who is well versed in the law and, has the respect of many judges then his is the voice you need. You cant afford not to become part of his family and when all was said and done, he still followed up with phone calls to make sure i was okay. Need I say more to the character of this wonderful attorney and compassionate human being. I am forever grateful to him for being my voice when mine wasn’t being heard. I highly recommend him to anyone facing this difficult time, he will get you the outcome you need. And it will all be accomplished with patience, compassion, understanding of your unique situation and genuine concern for you as a person, not just a client.
