Elizabeth Myers, Lawsuits and disputes Attorney on Oct 19, 2017
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I sincerely believe that no client could ask for a better or more skilled advocate than David Simon. Although much of his early experience was grounded in trying tough criminal cases and appeals, he has repeatedly demonstrated that his years as a trial lawyer made him an excellent negotiator and savvy commercial litigator. I have recommended David to colleagues and friends. He has my full endorsement as a litigator and appellate attorney.

I endorse this lawyer. His depth of experience is impressive: from the district attorney's office in both the trial and appellate divisions, to his current appellate practice. He is a go-to guy for any appellate questions.

I have known David Simon for a number of years both as a District Attorney and a Defense Attorney. He is an excellent attorney, knowledgeable on the law, and a great advocate on behalf of his clients. I highly recommend his services and endorse this lawyer.
