A powerful trial lawyer

Attorney Simon represented me in an auto accident case, where I was injured. The big insurance company enlisted the services of one of the largest law firms in town to deny a fair settlement for my injuries. Attorney Simon tirelessly prepared for the cases, he prepared me for my testimony, and di...ligently worked to research every aspect of my case. The outcome was astounding, and the large settlement improved my life. Since then, he has represented me in property closings, and a divorce case. Attorney Simon is a powerful trial attorney, who can take on the big guys, and win.

Posted by anonymous | August 04, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Expensive Con Artist

In typical attorney fashion, he forced us into a bunch of "consultations" and charged us $600 each time, saying we needed to practice for court. He also made me purchase a bunch of documents from the trial that we never ended up needing. He said the evidence I had against the defendant was extremely ...strong. With out warning- he told me to pay him the thousands of dollars that I owed (even though he said he was fine with payment plans before I retained him) by the end of week or he wouldn't show up for our court date. He said that I actually had no case against the defendant, and the evidence wouldn't stand in court- and that I would have custody taken away. In the end, I paid tens of thousands of dollars to have him use a generic custody order template and con me into 50/50 custody. Has severe anger issues and a strong vendetta against people who are smarter than him. He conned me, but as soon as I realize the damage he had done- I stood up to him. He cowered down and his true, lonely-sociopath self was relieved. Remember, Custody Court is a the grayest of area of law. There are no rules, nor 3rd party audits to stifle corruption. If you are going to court for custody, please beware that all the lawyers/judges/mediators know each other and use people as pawns. They're great at acting like they hate each other, but check their texts/email inboxes. They trade custody deals like baseball cards. The "Children" the court system claims to defend are their cash crop, so they won't solve anything. You'll be forced to fight for decades and end up in a worse position than when you started. They need you to be a return customer! Be prepared to foreclose on your house and have random drug testing done when they want.
