If Jennito says he can get it done, it gets done!

I was referred to Mr. Jennito Simon for legal counsel on a criminal case. It was for charges received out of town, but he did not hesitant to hop on the road to meet all of my court obligations. He explained the process and helped me to stay focused on my goal, which was to get the case dismissed. I ...was really scared, as this was a case with multiple charges, and one being a felony charge. But Mr. Simon encouraged me with his experience and expertise about knowledge of the law and about my rights. He got my felony charges reduced to misdemeanors and got my misdemeanors dismissed! Thank you Jennito, you changed the course of my life forever!

He is one of the best attorneys you will ever speak to hands down. I consulted with him on matter that involves the purchase of a veh...icle and he gave me the best advice I could ask for.

"I met Mr. Simon during my first year of law school and his reputation then has remained the same today; he is a stellar advocate within the courtroom. During law school, he won several national mock trial competitions and that skill has translated well inside of a real court room. I've seen him in case after case convincing various juries that the State did not prove their case against his clients. He is nothing short of a warrior advocate and that is why I send many people facing criminal charges to Mr. Simon. He is the one to seek if you are facing criminal charges."
