Ridiculous Spouse & Legal Teams but Mr. Simon ruled!

My X went through 3 legal teams during this loooong process. Her teams were no match for Lance and his team at Simon Law Group. They wrangled a good settlement for me that just left the other side looking like deers in the headlights. Aside from expertise at his trade, he's a great guy. You will ...be very happy!

Top-notch attorney and firm

Lance and his team did a fantastic job with my divorce case. During our consultations, he was patient and thoroughly explained all the nuances of an often difficult divorce process. I was always made to feel that he had my best interest in mind. I highly recommend Lance and his practice.

Excellent

Lance helped me in a child support case, and I can not thank him enough, he was absolutely amazing, he listed to the issues, and helped me step by step. He his honest, caring, and went above and beyond to help me beat this case. I was treated like a person, and never once did it feel like it was abou...t money, it was the exact opposite. I felt at ease with him handling the case. I highly recommend him and would use him again.

Father in custody battle

I cannot say how grateful I am to have had representation from Lance Simon. I was dealing with a high conflict and counter-custody case with the mother of my child, and also finding it difficult to co-parent. Lance was able to educate me on my rights as a parent and the court system. Having his exper...tise and team during this very challenging time was essential to my case and my mental well being. His guidance and willingness to be responsive to my questions and concerns made the process that much more bearable. It gave me the opportunity to focus on my responsibilities as a parent to my kids, employee at work, and spouse to my partner. I truly appreciate the representation and the favorable outcome, and I would recommend his services to anyone is need.

Best lawyer

Lance helped me defeat a false allegation against me. He was very accommodating and reassured me many times during the period. I would definitely recommend him to others. I cannot thank him enough.
