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.

Thank you, David

Words can’t describe the gratitude I have towards David Simon. I hired David in late 2021 for a failure to stop, DUI refusal and DUI charge that was pending for over a year and a half. David always checked in with me for updates and always answered my questions immediately with the upmost professiona...lism. I’m so thankful David was able to get all 3 charges dismissed and now I’m able to move forward learning a valuable lesson. I highly recommend David if you ever need a partner to champion you through any legal issue and help protect your rights.

Very happy.

Discovered on a Saturday I had an outstanding warrant for my arrest. I immediately submitted a request online for legal advice and was soon inundated with phone calls from many different attorneys. The first 2 were full of doom and gloom. They made me feel like I was interrupting their dinner and jus...t gave me generic advice, advising me to secure the $50K bail. My 3rd call was from David Simon. Surprisingly, he advised me AGAINST paying bail until we found out it was absolutely necessary. At my arraignment , I was released on my own recognizance, thereby avoiding the unnecessary cost of bail. From that moment on, I was thoroughly convinced in his ability to, not only advise in MY best interest, but also to provide hope WITHOUT any unrealistic expectations. He would always respond the same day to the many questions I had along the way and I never felt he had no time for me. If you ever thought you should have a good criminal attorney attorney in your contacts “just in case” make sure it is David Simon.
