Joseph represented me in a criminal case since last year. I had never been in trouble before and that was the first time I had gotten arrested/charged with anything and it was a major charge. Joe visited me in jail before I paid him anything! he heard my story and represented me during my bond hearin...g. I was terrified and Joe was there from the start. I met him and his associate Mike at their office and explained to them what happened. Joe believed me from the start, was very honest and upfront about how serious the charge was but also said that he was going to start working right away. Joe is very knowledgeable of the law, very confident and you feel at ease when you enter a courtroom with him. He knows everybody and is very well respected around the Ann Arbor area. I've been told he's one of the best Ann Arbor lawyers if not the best by many people. I had another known celebrity lawyer (from New York) on my defense team who didn't know Joe but worked with him closely on my case. At the conclusion of my case, he said that out all the other lawyers he has worked with from other states, Joe was simply the best and couldn't say enough good things about his strategy and calm non-rushing way of thinking about the big picture. He said he would personally hire Joe if he ever needed a lawyer in Michigan. Long story short, Joe got me the best outcome any lawyer could have gotten me. I owe this man and his wonderful team (Mike and Victoria) alot. He will always be like family to me.

Attorney Joe Simon and his team represented me in a white collar crime case, successfully pleading the case such that I avoided jail time. I was scared, nervous, and generally unsure of how things would proceed, this being my first (and last!) time moving through our legal system. Joe explained thing...s clearly and in detail, at every step of the process. I never had to wonder what was next. He had me prepared at every step. Joe seemingly knows everyone in the area legal community and I am certain his relationships with and knowledge of seemingly every person in this community, be they prosecutors, judges, or the clerks and staff making it all work, along with his dogged determination and strong work ethic, helped to get the bet possible outcome for me. If you are unsure of what to do when facing a legal matter, I highly recommend Joe Simon and his team. Fantastic people, fantastic results for me.

I consulted Joe and several other attorneys for a complex DUI matter that could have had dire consequences. I am not sure exactly why I made the decision to go with Joe. I guess out of the others that I spoke with, he afforded me the most attention and the most realistic conversation. The decisio...n to have Mr. Simon represent me was without a doubt the best one I could have made. Throughout the process, he was thorough and respected my entire life's situation. The legal matter could have went a hundred different ways, and he was instrumental at guiding us to the best possible outcome. Myself and my family are grateful we went with Joe. His familiarity with the players in the local court system and his standing within this system was paramount in my case. I would absolutely recommend Joe Simon to anyone needing legal representation in Washtenaw or surrounding counties.

I came to Joe and Michael with a lot of problems in my DV case. The most difficult was that my prior representation was unable to secure my police video in a timely manner and this significantly delayed my case. Ultimately, Joe and Michael were able to negotiate a dismissal contingent upon successful... completion of a probation program. As someone with a lot to lose these guys fought hard for me, believed in what I told them, and they were ultimately able to negotiate a very rare no-contest plea which the prosecution almost never grants. I feel that I got the best representation for my case and absolutely feel that their efforts made a difference. They were very responsive to any questions I had along the way and provided detailed summaries after every time I went to court. I thank them both tremendously for the piece of mind I have and I have no reservations about recommending them.
