Divorce/Custodial Issue Resolved!

I can’t recommend Lance highly enough. From the very beginning, he showed a level of dedication and commitment to my case. What stood out most to me was not only his professionalism and legal skill, but the genuine concern he showed for my children’s well being throughout the entire process. It... never felt like I was just another client. He truly cared about protecting my family and helping us move forward in the best possible way. I think anyone that knows him can attest to this, but Lance has a no nonsense approach that I deeply appreciated. He doesn’t waste time, avoids unnecessary drama, and focuses on getting things done efficiently and effectively. At the same time, his attention to detail is incredible. He was always thoroughly prepared, caught things others may have overlooked, and made sure every aspect of my case was handled carefully. One of his greatest strengths is his ability to break down complicated legal matters into terms that are easy to understand, regardless of your level of legal knowledge. He always took the time to explain my options, what to expect, and the reasoning behind every step so I never felt lost or overwhelmed. If you are looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, compassionate, detail oriented, and relentless in advocating for his clients, I would absolutely recommend Lance Simon.

He is the perfect combination of thorough & compassion

Lance was my attorney during my divorce. I had a great experience with him. He was very thorough throughout the entire process. He would always go over everything with me until I completely understood. His experience and compassion made me feel very confident. I would definitely hire him again i...f need be.

The best family attorney on Long Island

I hired Lance to handle my custody/child support case and I can honestly say he is the best family law attorney I have ever worked with. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings.... He was very responsive and understanding, and got the job done in a timely manner. He was not only extremely knowledgeable, but he was highly sensitive to the fact that it was proving to be a traumatic experience for all involved. He would check in with me and make sure I knew what was happening. His legal representation restored my faith in the justice system with attorneys, personally I feel like they he is an angel sent from above to represent the voiceless. If you’re seeking legal help with family law, and looking for a Harvey Specter give Lance a call!

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.
