Great personal injury attorney

I slipped and fell in Starbucks and severely injured my back and knee. David and his partner Antony got me a great settlement without even filing a law suit. I can't express my gratitude for these two enough.

Excellent service

A few months ago I was driving on the 163 at night and wham!! I ran into something. It turns out, that of all things; I had run into a porta potty. Yes! A porta potty. Thankfully, I wasn't covered in poop, but my car was totaled and I hurt my back. I found The Law Offices of Simon & Pizarro h...ere on yelp and when I called them, I knew they were the ones to take my case. I hired them and didn't even have to pay them anything. They told me that because it was a personal injury case they only got paid if I got paid. You cannot beat that. David Simon and Antony Pizarro always returned my calls, even during the holidays, and were nothing but courteous and professional. I would never go to another Law Firm. The Law Offices of Simon & Pizarro is all you need. A few weeks ago I got a call from David Simon and he told me the insurance company had made a generous offer. After some negotiations, The Law Offices of Simon & Pizarro were able to settle my case. The whole process, from accident to settlement, was so fast I could not believe it. Make no mistake, if you hire these guys, they will work your case quickly and effectively. I have nothing but glowing reviews for these two.

In San Diego, CA and needed a dependable attorney

I got a ticket a few months ago, it was a harsh penalty so I wanted a second opinion. When I met David he demonstrated extreme confidence in my case. He was knowledgeable and shared many insights I would have never thought about without his assistance. I decided to hire David and I’m very impressed b...y the way he took care of business. David is an attorney with a plan A, B, and C. I felt like my ticket was resolved as a priority; he answered all my questions, returned my calls in a prompt manner, and showed extreme confidence in court. Overall, he saved me time and many headaches. David won my case and I cannot put a price on that feeling! Thank you David!

Extremely satisfied!! Will recommend to all my friends!!

Almost a year ago I was involved in an accident where I was forced to go to the hospital and slapped with ridiculously priced hospital and ambulance bills a few months later. I wasn't given any information on the incident or the parties involved and felt defeated. I found David Simon through good w...ord from friends and am extremely grateful that I did. My favorite thing about him is that he listened to everything I said to fully understand the situation. The details of the incident were very crucial to the outcome and he knew exactly how to go about it. With the help of his negotiating, my bills were paid off in full by other parties, plus attorney fees. I never thought I could feel so relieved with a lawyer’s help before until now, and I would highly recommend to others that they hire David A. Simon as their attorney because of my pleasant experience with him as a person actually helping another person. He was professional, thoroughly informative, always kept me updated, he showed he cared, and showed great interpersonal skills. If anyone is looking for an attorney that is affordable and values their clients, David A. Simon is your guy.

Great Lawyer

I had no idea about all of the rights I had as a tenant. Attorney Simon explained my rights to me in language that I could understand. I was living with mold and other unhealthy conditions with no security until Attorney Simon took on my case. He stood up for me and encouraged myself to pursue my ri...ghts, and as a result my landlord was forced to take action on fixing the home i was renting and also pay for her actions. I am so grateful to Attorney Simon for giving me the power to improve my living conditions!
