Paul V. Simon

Mr. Simon displayed character, competence, confidence, and commitment towards resolving our case. Our case has complex issues that he quickly decerned. He knows the applicable law and achieves results. He has the unique ability to engage with the Judge in a way that gets the Judge’s attention wit...h respect to the position or point of law that he is arguing. We have great trust in Mr. Simon’s ability, and have been served well, adding to his impressive record. He has our highest of references as an attorney with the highest ethical standards.

I highly recommend Paul Simon for any business related legal expertise or representation that you may need. He was my attorney for a contentious business partnership break up that ended up in the courts. Paul Simon is a seasoned lawyer, who has been through the rounds, talks from experience, knows th...e law and how the courts and the legal system works. He will guide you down the right path and strategy. On top of that he is caring and personable.

Paul is an excellent lawyer generally - however, he is a elite trial lawyer. I have known him for approximately 10 years and have regularly worked with him in litigation matters - mainly oil & gas, corporate or contract disputes. I have found him to be reliable and knowledgeable and consistently th...orough, strategic and effective. From my discussions with other attorneys, I believe that he has an excellent reputation as a trial and appellate lawyer.

When I divorced in 1988, my ex-husband got our marital home as part of the property settlement and I signed a Quit Claim Deed in his favor (although he never recorded it). In December, 2010 (22+ years after our divorce) I learned that my ex-husband had let the property go into foreclosure. Because ...he had never re-financed, I will still a co-borrower on the mortgage and a co-owner in the Deed records. And, to complicate matters, my ex-husband had since re-married, divorced, and given 1/2 of the property to his new ex-wife in their property settlement. The lender foreclosed, sold the property at auction, and there was a substantial amount of money left over from the sale of the property. Because I had agreed to give my ex-husband the property in our divorce settlement, I was certain I was not entitled to any of the excess funds from the sale of the property. But wait...I was still an owner according to the Deed records. And, I because my credit history was damaged as a result of the lender reporting the foreclosure on my credit report, I felt I should be compensated for my ex-husband's failure to re-finance and/or make the payments on time. And, not being an unreasonable person, I was willing to share the excess funds with my ex-husband's new ex-wife. Paul reviewed my Divorce Decree, determined that my ex-husband was negligent, and successfully argued my case. My ex-husband's new ex-wife and I split the excess proceeds and he got what he deserved...nothing! Paul counseled me as to my options, helped me keep my emotions in check when making decisions, and kept my in the loop throughout the entire process. I had been told by two other attorneys that my case was hopeless and that I should let it go. That's when I contacted Paul. He was honest that it wasn't going to be easy, but he wasn't intimidated by the hard work he knew it was going to take. Paul spent countless hours researching case law and how to successfully present my case. And, he did ALL of this for a very reasonable fee! I reflect back on my case from time to time and I'm still AMAZED at what Paul was able to do with an otherwise hopeless situation. Needless to say, I'm still Paul's #1 fan!

This case was a business dispute litigation. Mr. Simon began working on the matter prior to litigation. Mr. Simon quickly and objectively analyzed the facts. Initially, he worked to resolve the differences to avoid litigation. Once the other side filed the lawsuit, Mr. Simon proposed meditation.... His goal was to minimize our legal costs. While the opposing counsel was hostile, Mr. Simon remained professional. When untrue statements were written and asserted to be facts, Mr. Simon wrote articulate replies to opposing counsel’s motions frustrating their efforts to build a non-existent case. When the other side’s Motions were presented in court, the judge consistently, although not always, agreed with Mr. Simon and mostly ruled in our favor. After each loss, opposing counsel was required to amend their petition to remove false claims. Opposing counsel did present and argue a Motion for Summary Judgment. Their MSJ was denied and the other side agreed to mediate. With the mediator’s assistance, Mr. Simon guided us to a successful resolution. Mr. Simon’s expertise and intellectual talent brought to this case is very much appreciate. Paul Simon has our unqualified endorsement.
