Mr. Simon’s area of expertise is working with plaintiffs, only. He specializes in personal injury and liability cases.

As a testament to his success, he has been requested as a guest speaker by those hosting seminars for personal injury trial lawyers, has published articles on trial practice and has appeared on NBC Nightly News in regards to cases he has handled.

Mr. Simon became involved in his profession because he was an athlete on scholarship at the University of Bridgeport, Connecticut, and, when he was injured, his scholarship was removed. The only way for him to stay in school was to join the debate team and wound up loving it. He earned a Juris Doctorate from the University of Miami School of Law and has been admitted to practice law by the Florida Bar. Furthermore, Mr. Simon has practiced under the Supreme Court of Florida, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Judicial District and U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Judicial District.

Mr. Simon is a founding member of the Civil Justice Foundation and a founding sponsor of the National Campaign for Tolerance.

Mr. Simon grew up in the Bronx with little to no money and helping people was a major part of his life. He could relate to people who needed help as other people helped him and he wanted to do the same. What also attracted him to become a lawyer is that he had to fight his way through oppression and champion the rights of the people who need help, which is highly rewarding. Mr. Simon finds his career in law exciting and considers being a part of the justice system to be an honor. Due to his prominence in the field, he has been inducted into organizations such as the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, Academy of Florida Trial Lawyers, Dade County Bar Association, and the American Bar Association.

He is also a founding sponsor of the National Campaign for Tolerance. Mr. Simon was also recently invited to and is now a Platinum Member of The Verdict Club for Premium Trial Lawyers, as a result of numerous trial verdicts and settlements in excess of one million dollars.
