I highly recommend Mr. Simon and his services for anyone in need.

I obtained an attorney regarding the FDOT using eminent domain to take a portion of my property for the widening of US Hwy 17. Several months went by and nothing happened, no word of how I was going to be accommodated for my land. Deals were made without my knowledge and I felt as if I was in the da...rk on many occasions to what was going to be done. After getting Mr. Simon to take over my case it was night and day. I was in the loop on all decisions, knew what was happening and when it was happening, and had an idea of the possible outcomes. Not only was Mr. Simon professional in all aspects, he kept me involved in what he was doing and why he was doing it. I received over double profit for my land on what my first attorney went for (without my knowledge or agreeing to), and I feel he handled my situation with my best interest in thought. I personally thank Mr. Simon for what he has done for my family, me and my business. I highly recommend Mr. Simon and his services for anyone in need.

" Our Eminent Domain Lawyer "

Brent Simon, our Eminent Domain Lawyer: He was Readily Available throughout the long and complex process, to consult, answer our questions, and give best advice. (This was of value to our family company, as none of us were experienced in such matters.) We found him Reliable, with a passion for... his work and many expert contacts. He kept our calendars up to date. He Respectfully Included our investigative data, opinions, and the unique needs of our company: (to teach our younger members by means of this business experience.) The Result was the enforcement of our belief in Eminent Domain as a necessary agent of balance. We saw PROGRESS for society on one side / fair and FULL COMPENSATION to the individual asset owners, on the other. (God Bless America. And thank you Brent Simon. We are grateful.) Sincerely, PL Managing member

I work for a Fortune 500 company that has utilized the services of Brent Simon for over 13 years for eminent domain proceedings. Brent has been highly successful in his representation as he is very knowledgeable of condemnation law; a great communicator and negotiator; looks after the best interests... of his clients; thinks outside the box; and has obtained awards/settlements far exceeding what was initially offered by the condemning authority. As you can see from the long tenure with Brent, he is well thought of by the company I'm employed. Additionally, this tenure will continue as more highway constructions projects impact the company I represent. In closing, if you're looking for the best representation to protect your property, you will find as I have, that Brent Simon is the best choice - history indeed proves it!

Years of experience in his chosen field of expertise. Very fortunate to have him and his staff of experts represent my wife and I in an eminent domain proceedings. I have actually referred another person to his law firm a couple of weeks ago for a similar legal action.

"I've known Brent Simon for many years, and he is a top notch eminent domain attorney. Brent is very aggressive and tenacious when it comes to obtaining the proper land value for his clients, and if the government is not offering a fair price, Brent will see the case through to a jury trial. I would highly recommend him to anyone facing government taking of land."
