• How much does it cost to hire Simon for a litigation case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Simon walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Simon offer a free consultation?

  Simon charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Simon's office. Some litigation attorneys offer free consults — check Simon's current terms during booking.

• How long do litigation cases in this state typically take?

  Simple litigation matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Simon gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Simon take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Simon evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Simon's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Simon?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Simon will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Simon accepting new litigation clients right now?

  Simon's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
