Highly Recommend

I have been Simi's colleague at a major corporate law firm, hired her as outside counsel for corporate and employment matters, referred other lawyers and potential clients to her, and finally, sought her counsel personally. In all my interactions with Simi over several years, especially as her client..., I have found her to be an extraordinarily responsive attorney who has a diverse background and is well suited to help corporate and individual clients alike. She is well versed in the law and stays current. I have found her to be particularly helpful on labor and employment matters with a practical and nuanced approach. Simi is a staple in my professional rolodex and I look forward to working with her again!

Great Contract Update

Ms. Mir helped me update my client contract. It turned out I was missing several important clauses. She helped me add those as well as refining some of the language I was already using. She was great to work with on the project. I'm always very uncomfortable dealing with areas outside my field of exp...ertise and Ms. Mir alleviated my worries completely. I felt totally comfortable giving and getting feedback throughout the process. Now my contract is much more thorough, which protects both myself and my clients better.

Strong, Detail-Oriented Corporate Lawyer

Ms. Mir is an excellent Lawyer. We are a medium-size financial firm with a broad set of needs. She has been helping us for three years with projects ranging from tough contract negotiations to the development of our employee handbook. She is very detail-oriented, a creative thinker and works hard t...o represent our best interest all the time no matter how big or small the issue at hand. She is very trustworthy and fair in her fees compared to larger firms that probably wont give us the same level of service.
