Professional, Diligent, and Trustworthy Attorney

I worked with Simon on a DUI charge, and I can't recommend him enough. From the start, Simon demonstrated professionalism, kindness, and honesty. He took the time to walk me through every step of the process, ensuring I understood what to expect. Whenever I had follow-up questions, Simon responded pr...omptly and with clarity. Unlike other law offices I contacted, Simon didn’t push that he was the only option. Instead, he gave a clear comparison of what he had to offer compared to others, which I appreciated. His strong connection to the San Diego courthouse was another plus, and it was clear that his experience with cases like mine played a major role in achieving the desired outcome. I valued how personal and direct the communication was. It wasn’t just some large firm where you feel like a number. Simon provided individual attention, which made me feel like my case truly mattered. He even helped ensure paperwork was delivered on time when I was worried about deadlines. Simon also went above and beyond by working with the court to make necessary adjustments, including lowering fees and removing volunteer hours, though I decided to complete them anyway to demonstrate my commitment to accountability. Overall, Simon exceeded my expectations. His professionalism, timely communication, and ability to navigate the legal system made a difficult situation much easier to handle. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a dedicated and skilled attorney in San Diego.

JGFleming.

Let this letter reduce to words the fact that my conversation with the attorney David Simon was very informative and thorough. I would highly recommend his counsel to anyone with DUIs or complications with DUI and probation violation.

Client

David was a very courteous and kind counselor during one of the lowest points of my life. He gave me guidance throughout the court process and made sure I was afforded the best opportunity to make amends and salvage as much of my good name as possible. He was so good he got my conviction bumped down ...to a lower offense and saved me a lot of money and time from a mistake I will certainly never make again. Definitely give him a ring if you are in trouble!

Posted by Cici A. | June 18, 2014 | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

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.
