I endorse this lawyer's work. Simon is a tremendous attorney. I represented a defendant charged with accessory to murder and attempted murder. Simon represented the main defendant charged with murder, attempted murder, and shooting at police. My client's case was dismissed at the preliminary hearing. Simon's client went to trial. I wished Simon good luck with the trial and told him I would carry around his brief case if he managed to get a not guilty verdict at trial. Simon's client was found not guilty of all charges. Simon is a very cool customer. He is never over matched. To top it off he is good guy. He is one of the best in the business.
