Neal Adam Simon

Neal represented me in connection with a number of post-decree complaints filed by my ex-wife. The complaints related to child support matters, college expenses, 529 accounts and a request for fees. I have a history of trying to accommodate my ex to avoid bringing negative energy into my days. I...n this instance, I again offered her concessions in order to settle her most recent grievances amicably, but she refused and filed a bunch of complaints against me. I hired Neal to handle these matters; he quickly understood what was going on, and worked hard yet efficiently in pulling together our responses. I couldn't be happier to say that in each and every instance, each ruling the judge made I believe was 100% in my favor, and in all other matters the judge struck all the complaints against me. There is now nothing pending, everything that was decided was decided very favorably, and Neal's fees will likely cost me less than the amount I saved as a result of my ex rejecting my offer and forcing me into litigation. The next time my ex goes off the rails, I will certainly not succumb any longer to threats; I will hire Neal again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Neal!

I was referred to Neal Simon by a close friend, who knew I needed an attorney who could handle an uncontested divorce. Neal did an outstanding job. He met with me and explained all of the implications of the situation I was facing. He advised me that if my (now ex-) husband and I were in agreemen...t on the terms of our divorce, then we could just relay the information to him and he would draft the documents and make the process happen. And that's exactly what he did. He listened to everything I told him, he asked relevant questions, and then delivered the draft agreement to me within one business day. The agreement clearly and accurately reflected everything we discussed. He provided all of the many required documents that my (now ex-) husband and I would need to review and sign, and when we returned the paperwork signed and ready to be filed, he filed the documents promptly and handled the rest of the process seamlessly. Neal is located in the suburbs but handled our Cook County divorce quickly and without excessive billing for travel time. Neal was also very caring and made sure that I was OK throughout the process. He was very understanding when I became emotional, and gave me incredibly helpful advice based on his years of handling situations like these. I felt like I was taken care of by a true professional. The time between the initial meeting and the final hearing was less than 30 days total. Neal provided exactly what we were looking for, and I would absolutely work with him any time I have any family law related legal issue in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with Neal for the past year and a half when my attorney Mario opened up his practice with Neal. Neal joined our team and in minutes I felt like I had known him for years. With all the difficulties, complexities and unhappiness of divorce, Neal guided me with an expert ha...nd. I was faced with a very emotional, tension filled divorce that ultimately ended with a trial. Neal was always a calming influence. He is a man of integrity, inherent kindness and has a tremendous grasp of the law. He is thorough and will make sure every last detail is taken care of. He always answered my questions and addressed my concerns in a timely manner. His practice is fair and pragmatic and has the experience to know how to get you through your matter in a truly dignified way. Neal cares about his clients' best interest, does whatever it takes to counsel them through some of the worst times in their lives. There seems to be a real synergy in the office . In my opinion, SIMPLY THE BEST AT FAMILY LAW! Thank you Neal for all you have done for me.

Neal was very talented at understanding the details of my case. He was especially in tune with the specific details of the case which I believed to be important while artfully reminding me of the "big picture items". His awareness of balance combined with the interpersonal communication skills achiev...ed a united sense of pragmatism and calm from my side. Neal helped me avoid a volatile and costly confrontation. I achieved wonderful results with Mr. Simon. We avoided regressive behaviors that would not have served my family in any positive manner. We secured an ideal agreement that honored my key concerns against a sophisticated and accomplished opposing consul. I could not be happier. My family is delighted to move on to the next phase of our lives' together, thanks to Neal.

Neal has been my Attorney for several years and in a somewhat complicated Family Law matter. It involved a substantial amount of income, a minor child and a Trust for my children. He has guided me thru these issues with ultimate professionalism and concern and I believe, kept mine, and my minor Child... in the forefront of his negotiations. His counsel was invaluable to my Peace of Mind and an equitable Settlement for all involved. You can not do better than Neal.
