My career has focused on Oregon's appeals system. I worked as a research attorney in the Oregon Court of Appeals, as a senior deputy for the State Public Defender, and in private practice since 2002. I've represented clients in over 1200 cases in Oregon's Court of Appeals and Supreme Court, including criminal appeals, parole appeals, appeals in stalking cases, domestic relations appeals and appeals in other civil cases. If you have an Oregon case that needs to be appealed, I have the experience your case deserves.

My name is Diana Saltvick and I first requested Mr. Andy Simrin to go over a summons I received from a man that had been incarcerated for years--the case was unclear to me and I of course didn't understand the legal aspect at all..So upon arrival to his office (then in Salem Oregon) he quickly and p...
"I have known this fellow Oregon lawyer for a considerable time. He is hardworking, ethical and dedicated to his clients. I give him my wholehearted endorsement."
"I have known Andy Simrin for 12 years. He was a senior and highly respected attorney in the Oregon Public Defenders Office when I came to work there. He taught me a great deal about appellate work, criminal defense, client relations, and ethical conduct. I always strive to meet the standard that he sets by his example. He is an extremely intelligent, creative, careful and diligent attorney. I highly recommend him."
"Mr. Simrin is an excellent appellate attorney. He possesses strong analytical and oral advocacy skills. With those skills, Mr. Simrin consistently achieves positive results for his clients. I endorse Mr. Simrin without reservation."
"Andy Simrin is a "lawyer's lawyer". By that, I mean he is one of the lawyers whom other lawyers turn to when they find themselves in a truly head-scratching situation. Mr Simrin's specialty is in the area of criminal appeals, an area of practice that is frequently confounding to trial attorneys. As an attorney who formerly specialized in criminal appeals, I can well appreciate the intellectual prowess and discipline that is required in order to be an appellate litigator. Andy Simrin is recognized throughout the State as an authority on appellate litigation. Anyone with an appellate matter would be well advised to get Mr Simrin on the team. His intellectual prowess and high professional standards make him an asset to the defense. I am proud to have Mr Simrin as a colleague in the Oregon criminal defense community."
"Mr. Simrin is one of the top criminal appellate lawyers in the state. He is smart, experienced and highly skilled in an area of law where few venture. He has more published opinions and wins at both the Court of Appeals and Oregon Supreme Court than any other lawyer I know. If I ever needed a lawyer to handle MY appeal, it would be Andy Simrin."
"Andy Simrin is a very good appellate lawyer. He is well known and respected by the judges on the Oregon appellate courts. I have seen his work first hand and know that he deserves that respect. We worked together on an Oregon Supreme Court case, and I was very impressed by Mr. Simrin's written and oral appellate advocacy."
"As an experienced trial lawyer, I know that verdicts are not always favorable. When an adverse verdict is returned, the only appellate lawyer that I recommend is Andy Simrin. Mr. Simrin has the knowledge and experience necessary to evaluate a trial record and identify the issues that are pertinent to an individual case on appeal. Mr. Simrin is a recognized authority on appellate law in Oregon, and one of the best appellate lawyers in Oregon. Mr. Simrin is thorough in his evaluation of a case. His frankness with trial counsel is a reminder that the client comes first. After an adverse verdict, clients are often confused by the reasoning, or bitter about the process. That is why I refer my clients to Mr. Simrin--I know he will work diligently for the client to remedy errors that occurred at the trial court level. His efforts have restored faith in the legal system to so many over the years. If you need an appellate attorney you can do no better than ANdy Simrin."
"Mr. Simrin is one of the most highly regarded appellate lawyers in the Pacific Northwest. He would be my first recommendation to anyone seeking an appeal in Oregon, especially in criminal matters."
