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.

DUI Crash

I had a DUI charge with a very high BAC. David was very helpful and navigated me through the whole process. He was always easy to reach and would answer all my questions. He was always honest with me on my possible outcomes from the beginning. In the end he got me a great plea deal. Highly satisfied ...with his work.

Team Lead

The consultation experience was very informative. He provided me details of course of action. Made me aware of the seriousness of my case yet made me feel reassured we could be successful. He took the time to text me while at court and did call me at the time he said. Answered all the questions I had.... I am definitely thankful for his time and great recommendations. Thank you!!
