Excellent criminal defense

I was first referred to Mr. Simon by a public defender, who said if he was in my situation he would call Mr. Simon. This proved to be a lifesaving choice. Mr. Simon had a close relationship with the prosecutor, and was able to convince the prosecutor to drop one charge that was pending against me bef...ore it even reached the courtroom. This was an unusual bit of leniency that resulted directly from his pre-trial efforts with the prosecutor. On the other charge, he convinced the prosecutor to request an unusual deferred sentence that would allow the charge to disappear from my record after a period of probation. He knows what he is doing, and his services were worth every penny.

Consistently professionally and effective

Without divulging the detail of our cases he handled, Joe Simon and his firm demonstrated in-depth understanding of the laws, ordinances and/or regulations of the legal violations we were addressing. Leveraging this insight, he and his team identified and pursued remedies that were consistent with ...the spirit of the laws and allowed us to mitigate the impact of the violations. In all cases, Joe and his firm kept us informed of the track, objective, and likelihood of a workable outcome. He was successful in achieving the outcomes we all agreed were acceptable. This further reinforces my appreciation of his ability to present our position with professional insight and skill. Our cases did involve one or more appearances before a judge in court. The guidance from his firm and their handling of presenting our cases and situation to the prosecutor and judge provided us with structure and discipline (legal protocol) that we would not have had otherwise. Regarding the cases addressed, Joe was firm and fair in insuring we understand our responsibility for our actions and to conduct ourselves without further violations. Should the need arise, I would not hesitate to work with Joe and his firm again.

Joe Simon review

I retained Mr. Simon for a OWI charge and he proved to be a specialist in this area of law and was an excellent selection of representation. He and his staff were extremely knowledgable and effective in obtaining me a favorbale non-criminal outcome to my case. He was very professional and conscientou...s and navigated the process with urgency and delivered a result that was I was very saitisfied with. There was clear direction given on what my options were and he executed the plan flawlessly. His staff was very organized and supportive and communicated clearly, keeping me informed every step of the way. I would strongly suggest Mr. Simon for representation in this type of matter.

As Good as they Get

I got Joe's name from two of Ann Arbor's most prominent lawyers for a family member. They each said he was the only attorney to get. They were completely right. Joe kept us informed through the whole process and, after several difficult negotiations, got the charges dismissed. We could not have had a... better outcome. He is the consummate effective professional defense attorney.

Legal Case

My initial visit with Mr. Simon is what sold me on his abilities. He explained the charges, and we disscused the facts in my case. He is very knowledgable of the drinking and driving laws. Immediatley he began to tell me what avenues he was going to pursue to either get my case dismissed or get th...e charge reduced. In the end the charge was reduced and Mr. Simon operated quick and precisley. I would highly reccomend him.
