Brett Lawrence Simon

My family and I are incredibly grateful to Brett Simon. We were blindsided by a letter demanding money for something we firmly believed we did not owe. We consulted a couple of attorneys who had been referred to us, and their advice was essentially to pay the amount or offer at least half. We found t...his incredibly frustrating because we felt our position was not truly being heard or taken seriously. Then a friend recommended Brett Simon, and we are so thankful they did. From the moment we shared the letter and explained our situation, Brett listened carefully and took our concerns seriously. He agreed with our position and, more importantly, explained the legal reasons why we did not owe the money. He thoroughly researched the matter and cited relevant cases to support his position, giving us confidence that we were on solid ground. What impressed us most was not only Brett’s legal knowledge and diligence, but also how much he genuinely cared. He worked hard on our behalf, was incredibly thorough, and patiently explained the legal issues in terms we could understand. We never felt dismissed or rushed. We felt heard, supported, and confident that we had someone truly advocating for us. Thanks to Brett, we had a wonderful outcome, and we cannot thank him enough. His professionalism, compassion, knowledge, and dedication made an incredibly stressful situation so much easier to navigate. We hope we never need an attorney again, but if we do, Brett Simon is the only attorney we would ever call. We recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone looking for an attorney who truly listens, cares about his clients, and goes the extra mile to fight for them.

I hired Attorney Brett Simon through Off The Record to handle a traffic matter in Cook County. While he communicated with me prior to the court date and confirmed he would appear on my behalf, he did not show up on time. My case was called at exactly 9:00 AM, and I had to represent myself completely.... According to the attorney, he arrived around 9:10 AM — by then, my case had already been processed. This left me feeling unsupported and frustrated. When I requested a refund due to the lack of in-court representation, the attorney became defensive rather than understanding. He claimed late arrivals are “standard practice,” which was never communicated to me. He eventually offered a 50% refund — but only if I signed a non-disparagement agreement, which felt more like a way to avoid accountability than to resolve the issue professionally. I understand that courts can be hectic, but timeliness and clear communication are essential. Unfortunately, Attorney Simon did not meet that standard in my case, and I cannot recommend his services based on this experience.
