Best of the Bests

Mr. Jay Simon is the best attorney ever. I needed an attorney to file chapter 7 bankruptcy case so I started searching on yelp & google but it was very confusing. He has all 5 star rating on all sites. Spoke to 2/3 attorneys but not impressed. Finally called jay and the conversation I had with him I ...felt my search was over and I set up an appointment with him real soon. When I reached his office he was very pleasant,warm & welcoming. From that point onwards he took over my case right there n then. I sat in his office for 2 hours or so n he took all the info. He made the process very easy. He bedside manner and communication is amazing. He communicates fast and keeps you updated unlike other attorneys who are nowhere to be found once the payment is made. He gives thorough instructions via email what’s the next step and how to prepare. He gives his undivided attention and answer phone calls during the visit. I will highly recommend Mr jay. I feel so lucky to find him. All the reviews he earned are so Well Deserved. On my 2nd visit to his office I noticed so many Thank You cards from customers. He goes Above and Beyond. Just go jay as there is no one comparable to him

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!

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

If you want an excellent bankruptcy attorney than go no further. I recently hired Mr. Jay I. Simon in a chapter 7 bankruptcy application and recently received my discharge. Mr. Simon was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in all respects in the process involve for my Chapter 7 application. I was ...extremely impressed how easy and relaxing Mr. Simon made me feel throughout this first time process for me. In addition, Mr. Simon took his time to explain the chapter 7 process from start to finish and allowing me to ask questions. Today I can only say that I am truly appreciative of having found such an outstanding Bankruptcy Attorney. Lastly, his fees are highly competitive. I have taken this time to write this review and would recommend Mr. Jay I. Simon as the best Bankruptcy Attorney... Thank You Jay - God Bless.

Thankful for Mr. Simon's expertise and honesty

Mr. Simon was an immense resource for us when we wanted to file for bankruptcy. After meeting with us, he concluded that we'd be better off not filing for Chapter 7, and rather than accepting us as clients, he thought it was in our best interest to work with a Chapter 11 attorney. Being an expert in ...Chapter 7, he knew that it was not the best route for us. And being an honest professional, he referred us to someone who, based on his research, could serve our needs. We were pleased with the attorney he referred us to; however, our circumstances changed and we aborted the Ch. 11 process. I returned to Mr. Simon to ask if I could retain him for Ch. 7, but since I have been living out of state for several months, he said I must file in my current state. Unfortunately, living in NY for 1/4 of the year is not enough to file in NY. Filing in my current state of residence would be simpler, but the reason I want to file in NY is because I trust Mr. Simon and want him to represent me. He has given me so much good advice, even though I am ineligible to be his client. He cares about helping people and will share his knowledge and expertise, whether or not you are a paying client. Those who qualify to be clients of Mr. Simon are in good hands.

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."
