Christopher Simon has lawyers with a combined 35 years of experience in working only on injury and wrongful death cases. All three of the lawyers began their careers as insurance company lawyers but now only represent victims and their families.
Mr. Simon practices exclusively in the area of Georgia personal injury law. He represents the victims of serious accidents throughout the State of Georgia. Mr. Simon graduated from the University of Virginia in 1993 and obtained his Juris Doctorate from Mercer University in 1997.

He left the world of insurance defense several years ago and now represents Georgians against major insurance corporations.
Mr. Simon has an intimate working knowledge of the strategies and tactics that will maximize his client’s ability to obtain just compensation for the harm done to them. In addition to being an accomplished trial lawyer, Chris is also a registered Atlanta mediator with BAY Mediation in Atlanta.
