Neal Adam Simon

Neal is an outstanding attorney. He is professional, honest and loyal to his client who cares about the outcome. Neal handled my divorce case with compassion and determination and who truely knew my case inside and out. He was able to keep me focused and provided me with the needed support thr...ough the ups and downs. From the start I knew I made the right choice having Neal as my ally and would highly recommend him. Neal is your advocate and a champion to your defence. Thank you so much!

Divorce is an emotional and painful time. Neal not only has a wonderful disposition but he is knowledgeable, empathetic, strategic and looked out for my best interest. I asked so many questions that most were over my head but with Neals guidance he helped me to understand the whole process and excel...lent in helping me to understand my rights. All of the documents were very well written and extremely thorough. I highly recommend Neal and his firm!!

Neal was excellent to work with in resolving my divorce after being married for many years. Neal's legal expertise, combined with his empathy and compassion for all involved, makes Neal somebody you want on your team. While keeping his client's interests at the forefront, he is always focused on p...ractical as well as legal solutions to resolve issues and move efficiently to the conclusion of what is almost always a very stressful, complicated and emotional process. While one would hope not to be a repeat client of any family law attorney, Neal was the first person I called prior to getting remarried to draft our pre-marital agreement.

When I asked my husband for a divorce due to lifestyle choices and differences we agreed to draft a Marital Separation Agreement (MSA) in collaboration with one another and try to do the divorce without the services of an attorney. I initially visited Neal on a consultation and so that he could expl...ain Illinois Divorce Law . I explained my what I could only call "unusual circumstances" in detail and told Neal what I/we wanted to achieve. We had no minor children and owned a home together which we agreed he would remain in and either sell or refinance. Neither one of us wanted to gouge one another or make the other pay for the rest of their lives. What I didn't know however was that there was something that worked to my benefit and that was "Dissipation of Marital Assets" which Neal explained in great detail in full consideration of my desire to not rake him over the coals but rather to use this to my advantage to basically give me back the lifestyle which I was accustomed to. After doing a great deal of fact finding and homework I sat down with Neal to begin to draft a reasonable starting point for the asset portion of our MSA. I went into it not requesting alimony or maintenance and my ex agreed (at the first meeting) to everything I proposed. We were able in a time period of about 4 months to finalize the agreement, get a court date and finalize our divorce. In my opinion Neal is empathetic, honest and ethical to a fault. He completely honored my request for an amicable divorce and very clearly explained everything to me in great detail. My ex did not retain the services of an attorney and because I/we did a lot of the legwork ourselves and I paid my own attorney fees, we were able to complete our divorce for less than $3,500. One of the most significant things that Neal did for me while helping me draft the initial MSA was to help me retain all of my $400K plus retirement account. I was referred to Neal by a friend who was a former divorce client of his. I interviewed 4 attorneys (Neal included) and Neal was the ONLY one who went above and beyond in the initial 30 minute consultation which when we finished was an hour and 15 minutes. He took all of my relevant information at that time so that if and when I made the decision to hire him we didn't have to waste time (& $$) gathering all of the info. On some of my appointments he met me in jeans and a collared shirt, indicating that he was a person, with a family, above all else. On some of those meetings we played the hypothetical "what if" game so that I was able to weigh the potential benefits and consequences of a particular course of action in order to make a fully informed decision. I would very highly recommend Neal Simon and his staff who were all very easy to work with and very accommodating. You won't regret it for a minute.
