Helpful to seniors

For a senior, such as myself, trying to decide between paying rent or paying debts can be overwhelming and stressful. Until I met Mr. Simon. I am grateful for the opportunity to have him as my lawyer. He is a kind, understanding, and sensitive man with a strong professional character dedicated to the... art of the law and to defending the needy. He likes to protect his clients in the best way possible. I thank him for his support, immense knowledge of the law, and his time in educating and consulting me through the bankruptcy process and all possible options I may have. He was able to help me with great results. Thank you Jay!!

top shelf treatment...

I chose Jay Simon as my attorney for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. He offered not only expertise, but also kindness and compassion for my situation. He went out of his way to make me feel as comfortable as possible with all aspects of the process. He helped lift the burden of stress, pressure and any anxiety... that surfaced for me. Extremely supportive, extraordinary professional and gifted attorney!

Awesome Attorney Jay I. Simon

I met Mr. Simon two years ago when a neighbor referred his services to me. I am happy I had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful and kind Attorney, who completely and utterly guided me through the whole bankruptcy process. I didn't know what to expect during this difficult financial time in my lif...e. Jay I Simon reviewed my case and decided he could help me. He explained to me what I needed to do to regain my financial freedom. It was the best thing I could have done, with the right bankruptcy attorney. He is patient, kind and empathic and he absolutey knows his business!!! I would totally without a doubt reccomend this awesome bankruptcy attorney in Brooklyn anytime. Mr. Jay I. Simon is the man! Thanks for helping me to restart my financial future Jay. Elaine

One of the best people you will ever meet

I will make it short....Moving to NYC 7 years ago from the Midwest you would never expect to find someone like Jay Simon in Brooklyn...Sometimes a person did something right in their life (despite all their financial mistakes) or just lucky to meet someone like Jay Simon....I am writing this review 3... years after meeting him as I was going through some papers and found my discharge and remembered how much he helped me. Thank you Mr Simon for being so kind and caring!!!!!

Chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyer | Nov 30

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Why? When you have a question, he gives you an answer as if you were across his desk so you understand the law, your options, and the answer to your question. Sometimes on AVVO we see answers to questions that in essence just say to see an attorney which is ok..as that is the ultimate answer. But this attorney will go beyond and try and fully and completely and in my view accurately answer it. Is that not the type of attorney you want? I would hope so and for that reason I endorse him."

  • 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.
