Consultation

I called David for advice on a very delicate legal matter. He answered the phone on the first call. Listened to what I had to say. Gave me his interpretation of what is going on. Very straight forward guy that clearly has the legal expertise and enough experience to dissect a scenario and determin...e the outcome. Seems I’m lucky not to have needed his services. Intelligence and good situational awareness. I would hire him.

Lawsuits and disputes lawyer | Oct 19

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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
