Joe is Amazing!

We were referred to Joe Simon by a mutual friend who has working knowledge of the Washtenaw County Court System, after criminal charges were brought against our young adult son. We had no previous experience being "on this side of the law", and we unexpectedly found ourselves in a state of emotional... terror. From day one Joe fit us into his schedule and without hesitation offered his skilled, expert services. He quickly educated us on the possible outcomes: worst, best & miraculous. For four months Joe walked us through the complicated court proceedings and ultimately delivered "the miraculous" outcome for our son's future. Based upon what we have learned during this experience, we firmly believe that this beneficial outcome could not have been achieved by another attorney. Joe and his extremely professional team treated our family with dignity and respect at all times. Joe Simon is a highly respected attorney, a wonderful man and the answer to our most fervent prayers! We remain forever grateful.

Joe Simon is AMAZING. As a parent of a son who was facing the scariest time in his life, Joe came highly recommended and exceeded all expectations. Joe is a straight shooter who doesn’t sugar coat anything and is very thorough in explaining every important part of the process so that there are no s...urprises. He is there for his client (and his parents!) to answer questions and make recommendations throughout the process. Joe is at home in the courthouse and is a true star in the courtroom. He knows all the prosecutors, judges, bailiffs, etc. and is clearly well respected by them all. Most impressive is how quick Joe is in the courtroom. His cross-examination ability is incredible. He got the absolute best result for our son and we cannot recommend him highly enough.

A grateful client

I can't express my gratitude to Joe Simon enough. I had a very complicated legal issue that could have resulted in a five year sentence but at the very least one year. I did not have to spend anytime in jail other than the day of my arrest. I was put on bond and set free after the trial that Joe... masterfully handled. It was apparent to me that everyone in the system knows Joe well and he is respected. This is so important when dealing with the criminal system.. A lawyer needs to be in good standing with judges, prosectors and probation. in order to work the best for you. Joe is aces. I have used Joe on two matters and both times had outstanding results. He does not sugarcoat words so don't get scared turing the process. He is always honest. He's trustworthy and works hard on your behalf. He cares about your case or he would not take it. He's compassionate yet tough. You want a tough guy fighting for you. Take his advice and follow it. I am glad I did and would trust him with my life. He's worth the investment. This is your future and you want the best-you found him! Hands down. My own brother who is a lawyer told me call Joe and I am so glad I did. Thanks Joe for helping me through a bad time and I hope this review encourages others to put their faith in you too. God bless- SK

Expectations exceeded...

We retained Joseph Simon as our daughter who attends the University of Michigan was charged with a misdemeanor. Being that we live out of state, our concern was to of course retain proper representation with an open line of communication so we would be kept informed every step of the way. Being tha...t any criminal charge is extremely foreign to us, Mr. Simon took his time, explaining what we should expect, what our options were and advised us accordingly. As we put our trust into a complete stranger, I am pleased to report that Mr. Simon was able to get our case resolved in expedited fashion, keeping us informed every step of the way and his efforts, efficiency and professionalism deserve to be recognized. While I realize that every case may be different and all results may not be as positive as ours, Mr. Simon exceeded our expectations and strongly believe that anyone in our situation should certainly consider Mr. Simon and his firm for representation.

Above and Beyond

Some general statement: Mr. Simon is an excellent Attorney. He is very informed, has an exceptional staff, and is committed to his clients. He is honest, of high moral character, and he is very clear and thorough in his correspondence. What impressed me specifically: Mr. Simon's capacity to put s...uch efforts into someone else's welfare. To a client such as myself, the court case at hand may appear larger than life. My case was of supreme importance to me, and had the potential to change the course of my future. I know Mr. Simon did his best on my behalf (spoiler alert: we won my case.) What was impressive to me was that I did not feel Mr. Simon gave me any more attention than he did his other clients. I got the impression that not only was Mr. Simon handling my case with extreme skill, professionalism, and attention, but that Mr. Simon was handling my case with the same thoroughness he handles all his cases. He is such a pro. I went through several attorneys before I found Mr. Simon. Because of the complexities (and oddities) of my particular case, I can say with certainty that if I had not found a knowledgeable, confident, honest attorney I would not have stood a chance. Because of the Joe’s character and encouragement I found the strength to stand up for myself in the face of intimidating charges. Mr. Simon has my most genuine recommendation. I know you will get the same top-class treatment. In him, you will find honest, excellent representation. His firm is legendary.
