Phenomenal person, outstanding attorney.

I was recommended to Joe Simon by my real estate attorney who is himself highly regarded in and around the Ann Arbor area. My son had a first offense DUI and of course I wanted to make sure he had the best legal representation available. Joe did not disappoint. To the contrary, I was ecstatic with th...e outcome. We first met Joe at his office for a consultation where he explained the legal process in detail. I was impressed with his knowledge of the law and familiarity with all of the various courthouse players, principles and possibilities. Joe was right-on with his strategy for my sons case. The outcome was better than any of my highest reasonable expectations that I had from the start, and that is an understatement. If you are facing legal criminal issues, I would highly recommend getting Joe Simon on your side. You'll be glad that you did.

Professional, Experienced, and Trusted

I'm a student at U of M. I got in trouble with the police here and got charged with a serious misdemeanor. I at first sought help from student legal services at my school, but was told that I should "just plead guilty" to my case by the lawyer there. I was hopeless since I am a foreigner and doing so... would result in my deportation. That's when I consulted and retained Joe. He is extremely professional. Whenever I send him an email, he would call me back in less than 10 minutes. In court, you can clearly tell that he has established a strong rapport with the judges, prosecutors, and probation officers. No other lawyer that I saw during all my court dates was looked up to as much as he was. He successfully convinced the prosecutor to amend my charge to the lowest possible misdemeanor. That's when I truly realized I made the best decision of my life by firing my old lawyer and hiring Joe. He told me exactly what to say in court and to the probation officer. All I had to do was show up. Joe is an amazing lawyer. He's the lawyer you want on your side. I 100% recommend him to anybody.

An Amazing Attorney

Joe Simon was recommended to me by a friend, after I was arrested for very serious charges. This was my first time being arrested, and Joe walked me through the entire process. My case was eventually dismissed, thanks to his knowledge of the fine points of the law. He encourages contacting him eve...n after office hours. His team kept in constant touch with me as well. Joe went into the courtroom totally prepared which made me feel very fortunate and confident. It was fascinating to watch him be so creative. Joe is an amazing attorney.

Best criminal defense lawyer

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 are terrific!!!

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.
