One of the country's top civil rights attorneys

Ellen Simon is one of the country's top civil rights attorneys, and in fact, she has helped make or change much of the law in this area. She stands up for what's right and protects victims of discrimination, including women in the workforce who face gender and wage discrimination, those who are discr...iminated against because of their age, and people who are treated differently because of their sexual orientation. She has an incredibly sharp legal mind, and she is not someone whom opposing counsel wants on the other side of the courtroom. She rolls up her sleeves and does the difficult work needed to win her cases, and she not only knows the law in this area better than other attorneys, she knows it better than most judges. Her track record is exceptional, due to her legal knowledge and expertise, her ability to apply it, and her willingness to do the long, tedious and challenging work that's often necessary. Seeing Ellen in action in a deposition or in the courtroom is truly a life-changing experience. Ellen has dedicated not just her career but her life to standing up for what's right and defending civil rights. She is exceptional and truly one-of-a-kind. Having Ellen Simon as my attorney is one of the best things that could have happened to me... she changed my life for the better.
