Why Simon Law Group
Legal problems are rarely isolated. Your strategy shouldn't be either.
A divorce may affect an estate plan. A business dispute may raise litigation, real estate, or bankruptcy concerns. An injury case may involve employment, benefits, or long-term financial planning. We work across practice areas so related issues are identified early, strategy stays coordinated, and clients are not forced to restart with a new lawyer every time the matter evolves.
One matter. A coordinated legal team.
When a case involves more than one area of law, the details can't be handled in separate silos. Our attorneys consult across disciplines so timing, risk, leverage, and long-term consequences are considered together.
Direct advice about what is worth doing.
Not every legal option is a good strategic choice. We tell clients what we believe is worth pursuing, what is not, and where cost, risk, or timing changes the analysis. Settlement, litigation, delay, or restraint are all tools. The point is choosing the right one.
Prepared for negotiation. Ready for court.
Strong negotiation starts with credible trial preparation. We evaluate evidence, procedure, deadlines, and leverage from the beginning so the other side understands the matter has been prepared seriously, whether it resolves early or proceeds to court.
Fees explained before the engagement begins.
Clients should understand the financial structure before work starts. We explain retainers, flat fees, contingency arrangements, billing practices, and anticipated costs at the outset, so the terms of the representation are clear from day one.
Based in Somerville. Practicing throughout New Jersey.
Our office is rooted in Somerset County, and our work extends statewide. We represent individuals, families, and businesses in family law, estate planning, litigation, injury, business, real estate, bankruptcy, criminal, DWI, and related matters.
Modern systems. Human communication.
Secure portals, electronic signatures, remote meetings, and digital case tools make the process more efficient. But technology is only the infrastructure. Clients still work with attorneys and staff who know the matter, return calls, and provide practical next steps.

Direct attorney access, not a call center Litigators and transactional attorneys under one roof Big-firm resources, small-firm attention
Recommended first move
A deadline is running, a hearing is set, or something just happened.
Call first when timing matters. If anyone is in immediate physical danger, call 911 before contacting a lawyer.
- Call directly if a legal deadline, court date, or incident date is active.
- Have the notice, ticket, order, letter, or incident date nearby.
- A litigator will speak with you before the day is over.
