Honest, Decent and Knowledgeble

I'am so glad I choose Jay Simon as my bankruptcy lawyer. The man knows his stuff. He prepared my petition expertly, always answered my emails and calls promptly. But most importantly, he listened to my concerns and made me feel at ease. His fee was very reasonable. i highly recommend him if you nee...d a bankruptcy lawyer.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Great, upstanding guy. Very good at what he does. Personable, patient and attentive. He made filing for bankruptcy feel not so overwhelming. He took care of everything and made me feel at ease. From the very day I hired him he took the reins and started the process. I did not think it would be as eas...y as it was. He made sure of every detail and made sure I was well prepared the day of my hearing. I appreciate his services SO MUCH.

Great bankruptcy Attorney!!!

Jay handled my bankruptcy great! He was so nice, sweet, caring and personable. He did not treat me like I was just another client-- I was treated as if I was special. He explained everything to me in a clear and understandable fashion. He made the intimidating and complicated bankruptcy proc...ess seem simple. He was beyond diligent in preparing me for what to expect and making sure I understood my petition and what I could expect at my meeting with the trustee. He also sent detailed letters walking me through what I could expect after I filed my case and after I receieved my discharge. I doubt other attorneys would go through the time, trouble and expense of sending such informative, caring letters. He also spent time answering my questions at our appointment and over the phone--unlike other attorneys, he never seemed to rush me through the process. Just so you know, I met with other attorneys prior to meeting Mr. Simon and it was a world of difference. Where they were cold and callous, Mr. Simon was patient and did not make it all about my paying him. He also charges much less than other attorneys I met with and called first. I can't believe I am writing this, but I actually feel lucky I found Mr. Simon to represent me. Just an over all amazing attorney and a real pleasant experience. He treated me with such respect and gentleness. It is hard to explain, but Mr. Simon is just not like other attorneys--from his pleasant manner to his beautiful office--well-decorated with caring touches for client's like candy, cookies, magazines, toys for kids to play with etc. and beautiful decorations and comfortable furnishings to put a client at ease. I really can't say how glad I am that I chose Mr. Simon to represent me. I highly recomend Mr. Simon if you need to file a bankruptcy case. You might not believe what I wrote, but you will thank me after you go with him, I swear. Katie

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."
