Jonathan Robert Simon

This is the worst law firm in the country. Mr. Simon charged me an enormous amount of money for a love one immigrant case. He presented himself as an aggressive lawyer, who has knowledge of immigration law. After I paid him a down payment of $5,000.00, he turned the immigration case over to a new l...awyer who joined his firm. The respresentation was a disaster. I fell like I took over $10,000.00 and throw it out the window by using this law firm. This law firm lack experience and knowledge about immigration law. The lawyer make a lot of mistakes on the case. The person they represented on the immigration case was deported out of the country due to multiple mistakes made by this law firm. The judge and the immigration prosecutor on the case saw that the lawyer did not know what he was doing, and they ran ring around him. Simple, the judge made a mockery of this lawyer and sent him on a wild goose chase. The judge had the lawyer filing things with immigration that were impractical. Sad indeed. Please do not waste your money with this law firm. I made one of the biggest mistake using this law firm. Truly a living nightmare this law firm!!

DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN_ you are making a big mistake. THese reviews on here are OLD and outdated. I hired this attorney in April 2018. He was running Orlando Legal. He was my lawyer in my divorce case, There were many times I waited a 4-7 days for a response to my emails. He blamed it on his paralegal ...and told me to contact him directly. Which I did, and the communication was good for one week and returned to even worse.. It became worse on my mediation August 7, 2018. It was supposed to be on video, he told me 3 days before mediation it would have to be by phone, that he did not have an apple device to facetime with. I gave Mr. Simon everything he needed- hard paper copies - to get a fair and reasonable outcome on my divorce at mediation. When I met him he went on and on about how he has a database with all of my information on it, and how great he is at mediation. The day of mediation, he had no knowledge of anything. He blamed it on poor wifi and not being able to connect to his database with his computer. He could not access any of my numbers, comps for the boat, and cars, he had no idea what was going on. I was hysterical, trying to find the papers that I sent him, with copies of the comps for the cars and boat- trying to find the correct financial figures- Mr. Simon had nothing. Here I was by speaker phone with the mediator, while Jonathan gave excuses and apologized for his computer and not being able to access my information. He should have had at least paper copies of the financial affidavit I gave him. My husbands attorney ended up running the show- while MR. Simon put me on hold. There were many mistakes made in Mediation- they even used the wrong income for my husband, the child support ratio was wrong, the AIG tax penalty on a life insurance policy was off by $11,000!!! There were so many mistakes even the mediator didn't catch them. I called it a "Manipulation" not mediation. Mr. Simon advised me it was the best I would get. I terminated him two weeks later, and hired a new attorney who created an addendum to my marital settlement agreement with opposing counsel. With the addendum my child support was increased from $300 to $863. AND I received the $11,000 cash from my ex for the tax penalty mistake. IF I didn't do due diligence to my divorce, this would have been overlooked. HOW CAN THIS BE? I wanted the settlement thrown out due to lawyer incompetence and mistakes found after the fact-, however there is NOTHING in the law to protect you when you put your finances and trust in a lawyer like this. Do not believe anything you can not put your trust in this person- Before Mediation I had a credit of $5,677.50. Mediation was only 6 hours. I have money owed to me, I have fulfilled my obligation of the contract which states my money would be refunded if I terminated him, and hired another attorney to represent me and substitute him in court. I have written him weekly for the last two months asking him for a statement of my account and a refund. To this day 9/27/18 He will not respond to my emails, and phone calls, He since changed the name of his firm to Simon Family Firm, and Orlando Family Firm. I called Orlando Legal and was told it was not operational anymore. I have tracked him down and have all of his current emails and phone numbers and he is still not responding to my calls. DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN. He is overpriced, ineffective, does not communicate in a timely manner and has broken every ethical "Law" the Florida Bar sets on a lawyer. DO NOT HIRE- no matter what he says, MOVE ON. There are too many good lawyers out there, DON"T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS GUY.

First , I have to admit I'm a stickler for service and detail. That's why I acquired Legal representation from J. Simon for Divorce. After strategically being placed in a corner, with little hope and assistance from previous hired attorney, I consulted Jonathan with my situation, via my consultatio...n I felt reassured that he was the person/firm to assist with my needs. After careful thought and analysis, I realized that a satisfactory outcome could not be denied with the right representation. I just needed to get over initial hurdle from the position I placed in by spiteful spouse and opposing council. I'm closer to the finish line with double the confidence I had previously, thanks to Jonathan's expertise. Making the opposing party second guess their position and mine. Proper legal presentation and results vary, but with Jonathan's guidance it's worth 100%. If you are righteous and expect fair resolution then hire Jonathan Simon to be your advocate. You will not have any regrets. I would recommend his firm to anyone needing assistance and will provide a followup review with my outcome.

Jonathan is an excellent and compassionate attorney with excellent and professional staff. He helped me to end an abusive 20-year old marriage. His staff kept me informed and handled all of the paperwork with care and in a timely manner. Jenniffer responded promptly and professionally to any questio...ns I had and guided me through all the difficulties. Mr. Simon met with me prior to mediation to discuss my case and he made sure that I am prepared. He handled a mediation process calmly and professionally with a fair outcome. I consulted several attorneys but hired Mr. Simon and did not regret my choice. If you are looking for a family law attorney look no further!

Jonathan Simon exemplifies the terms - Wise Counsel and Fierce Warrior. His professionalism and integrity are only outmatched by his patience for seemingly endless stalling by the judicial system. From our first meeting, Mr. Simon understood the gravity of my family's situation, the immediate dange...rs inherent in my case, and took steps to ensure my family's protection. He does not shy from battle, but relishes it, and is not intimidated by the courtroom, other lawyers, or judges. Hire Jonathan Simon if you are looking for the best outcome for your legal situation. He is the best. I will recommend him for all family law matters. Only wish there were six stars to give to him!
