Skilled litigator and great attorney

Went through a long divorce process which started in Family court. I was taken on as a client and welcomed by the staff like family. Mr. Simon was available and always took time to make sure that I was updated and informed. I never had to worry about us making our filing deadline to the Judge or typo...s on my documents during trial. I had a front seat to how Mr. Simon handled my case. Professional and a compassionate lawyer.

Mediate if you can..

I went through a horrible divorce, however I was always able to call or come in on "off days" and get many things situated that were very vital in my divorce process.. The firm is very clean and professional and I would definitely recommend Lance's services!

Helped me survive and navigate a difficult divorce with great results

Lance is an extremely thorough and diligent attorney. He helped me get through a difficult divorce process with patience, professionalism, diligence, respect and understanding throughout the process. His guidance and ability help me negotiate a fair settlement in a timely manner was invaluable. Highl...y recommend for both contested and uncontested situations.

One referral you will not regret

Unlike a box of chocolates, with Lance and team, you know what you are getting! Professionalism, knowledge, compassion and dare I say it…..friendship. Yes, small gestures like buying me a slice of pizza to meet to review my case are the “little things” that go a LONG way. Lance took his time. I r...epeat; he took his time to understand every element of my case so that he could represent me like no other attorney. At the end of the day, his representation exceeded my expectations and removed so much unwanted stress. As a result, the well being of my young daughters and my ever important parenting time with them is secured. Thank you, Lance!
