Services
We are a law firm that cares about our clients and our community. We treat our clients and their legal matters with the utmost respect and compassion. At Simon Law, we provide our clients with potential solutions, not a list of obstacles. From our offices in Walnut Creek and San Francisco, California, we represent clients in family law matters and probate.
Our founder, David Simon, attended UC Davis, majoring in both International Relations and Economics and graduated with honors from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. He started his career as a litigator at one of the most prestigious law firms in the country, suing insurance companies and intellectual property infringers for hundreds of millions of dollars.
Selam Gezahegn is a Senior Attorney at Simon Law. She focuses her practice primarily on family law matters including dissolution of marriage, legal separation, custody dispute, child and spousal support, division of assets and liabilities, and domestic violence. She also has experience in personal injury, medical malpractice, and probate matters.
A family law issue is a very personal matter. You are in a unique situation, one that requires a tailored approach. The proper course of action in a divorce or another family law matter depends on your circumstances, including your goals and your finances. Our skilled attorneys can answer all of your family law and divorce-related questions.
While it is vital that the parties to the divorce reach a fair division of assets, allocating property is just one financial consideration of divorce. Depending on the circumstances of the parties involved, child support may be the largest economic factor for the parties post-divorce. And in some cases, spousal support, or alimony, may be an option.

After working with, against and for many attorneys over the years, I can say with confidence that David Simon is undoubtedly one of the best attorneys and most impressive characters I have ever met. I was fortunate enough to have Mr. Simon appear on behalf (and in the absence) of my primary representation where I witnessed how the court and it's players respond to David. I was extremely impressed to say the least, delivering a perfect outcome. I don't write many attorney reviews, two to be exact... David happens to be the son of my first recommendation, Bonnie Johnson. David comes from an environment

HIGH QUALITY LEGAL PROFESSIONAL
I recently met David Simon at the home of one of his clients. The meeting lasted just under an hour, during which I was able to get a good idea of how David operates professionally. He was very attentive to his client's needs and remained focused and directed. He was prepared for our meeting and the documents we looked over were organized and complete. Each document was thoroughly reviewed for accuracy. This helped make the meeting run efficiently and smoothly. He was very pleasant to talk to and I enjoyed working with him.

I have a family lawyer who thought my case had no merit. A colleague of Mr. Simon referred Mr. Simon to me. He was very patient, and was well informed on state, federal and medical laws (HIPAA). My family has used a ;lawyer for many years. Unfortunately he saw no merit in my case. I called Mr. Simon. who handled the case without question. Not only did I win, Mr. Simon was able to get me much more $$ than I ever dreamed of. I was going through a family tragedy (suicide), Mr. Simon helped me through this trauma. Things turned out so well....Mr. Simon is now our family attorney. I could never

About year and a half ago I had a legal problem with an employer which required I utilize an attorney. I was referred to Simon Law by a co-worker. I really did not think anyone would be able to resolve the problem for me. About a year and three months into it David Simon reached an agreement with the employer I am comfortable with. I cannot go into details as I am under a gag, but I will say this; I was compensated to my satisfaction. I would definately recommend him to others and am glad I listened to my co-worker. Thanks David!!

David Simon is an incredible attorney. He was able to resolve an issue for me, that otherwise would have resulted in possibly being held up in the courts for several years. David is knowledgeable, and I would definitely refer him to everyone. Thank you Mr Simons for resolving my issue in a timely manner!!

David Simon is a great lawyer. He helped us deal with the consequences of a major fire in our apartment that destroyed the entire building and two adjacent properties. He quickly gained our trust over the two years that it took to resolve this case. He gave us clear explanations of complex legal issues and kept us well informed on what to expect at all times. He took very good care of us, kept our insurance company honest and negotiated hard on our behalf. He is very articulate, persistent, astute... and a nice person too.

We sought Mr. Simon's legal services in early 2010 regarding an ongoing landlord/tenant that escalated to the Superior Court. Mr. Simon helped us navigate through the complexities of an overwhelming process by clearly explaining the legal procedure and our rights. He went above and beyond to not only advise us, but did his due diligence in researching other similar cases to ensure we were set up for success. While in the courtroom, he maintained excellent composure while confronting the other party and remained clear and concise when addressing the judge. Under his counsel, we were successful
