Lance Darryl Simon

Lance Simon is the best attorney I have ever had the opportunity to work with. I was recently involved in a case against my ex regarding visitation of our children. Lance was so knowledgeable, professional and supportive. Court can be an incredibly anxiety provoking situation, and Lance had a rema...rkable ability to help keep me calm. Not only is he a great attorney, but he is also a great human being.

Lance Simon is rare example of an attorney I actually like and you will like him too. Lance represented me for my divorce. He helped to cope with my varying emotional states while always being honest and professional. He is extremely knowledgable, fair and responsive. Even though I was... sometimes quite nervous going through the lengthy legal process, I was always confident in Lance's advocacy for me. In the early stages he took some time to really explain things to me. In the latter stages he negotiated effectively and provided me with an excellent outcome. It is fair to say the Lance went above and beyond what was expected on numerous occasions. His heart is in his work and it shows. I am truly appreciative for both his legal service and his friendship. If you're considering an attorney I highly recommend, Lance Simon.

If you don’t have the right attorney you will be victimized by a flawed and biased process. Lance Simon took over my case and saved my case. My first attorney I used for my divorce was a horror. He was inaccessible and not very professional. The only thing he was good at was riding the wave of marit...al hostility and playing the game of running up the legal costs with negative results. He often came to court late and totally unprepared, he was not respected by the judge and took several tongue lashings from him. The case was going so badly for me that I thought he had sold me out and was working for the opposition. I was subjected to an onerous pendente lite decision based on lies. I was on the verge of destruction both financially and emotionally. I was desperate to turn my case around so I fired the first attorney and Hired Lance Simon to rescue my case. Lance immediately restored my confidence in Attorney’s and assured me of the legitimacy of the process. He demonstrated his knowledge and the quality of his experience as we discussed in great detail all the issues of the case, he formulated a reasonable set of goals and He gave it to me straight and advised me against litigating unattainable issues. My ex and her attorney had been unreasonable from the very beginning and I was never even close to a settlement with my first attorney, Lance Simon exhibited excellent negotiating skills as we were able to negotiate a proposed settlement, I was astonished and felt a resolution was on the horizon only to have the opposition renege on their agreement and counter with the same old unreasonable demands. This forced us to go to trial. It was in trial where Lance Simon dominated. He was well prepared and made sure I was also. He blocked successfully opposing evidence and objected often to the opposition with their leading and misleading questions. His cross examination of my soon to be ex resulted in her admission of misleading the court on accusations of me on some important financial issues. I have to say he out shined a well-seasoned opposing attorney. His closing argument was well crafted and well written. The overall outcome was very good for me considering how badly it was going prior to Lance Simon taking over my case, the opposition did not get awarded any council fees. My child support was set at the proper amount not the unreasonable amount my ex was demanding and he managed to get my child support amended so that while my kids were in college 9 months of my child support each year was payable directly to the college towards their room and board. That was excellent. Getting divorced is a painful and stressful ordeal in itself, if you’re soon to be ex-spouse is as unreasonable as mine was and is looking to cause you permanent financial harm it is imperative to have the right attorney on your side. Many attorney’s will take you to the cleaners along with your soon to be ex-spouse. Lance Simon is a skilled professional with integrity, he is always helpful, understanding and truthful, and he will answer all your calls and act professional all through the process. This will save you wear and tear from an arduous process and ultimately save you some money.

I was mired in a collaborative divorce for well over a year that went badly in an instant. My collaborative attorney recommended Lance Simon to me and I couldn't be happier. Going through a divorce was one of the most difficult things I've ever gone through in my life. I have two beautiful children a...nd I work full time. My ex-wife is not from Long Island and did not want to remain on Long Island with the children. My primary objectives in my divorce were to have as much time with my children as possible and for them to remain on Long Island so I could be an active part of their life. Lance, a father as well, listened to my objectives and was there for me every step of the way. I'm happy to say that I have my children 50% of the time and that my children are still on Long Island and live less than a half hour from me. Lance is an intelligent lawyer who knows the law and his clients' rights. His legal writing skills are unmatched. Your divorce lawyer will become one of the most important people in your life during the divorce process. Lance was always available whether via text, phone call, e-mail or meeting in person. He was always able to keep me grounded when things weren't going as well as I would have wanted them to. Being that Lance has guided many people through their divorce, he knows what is coming next more often than not. This knowledge and experience enabled us to stay a step ahead always. After this process, I would consider Lance a friend. Lance Simon is a highly competent, responsive, and intelligent lawyer who will work with you relentlessly to finalize your divorce and achieve your objectives. I highly recommend Lance Simon for any of your divorce or family law needs.
