"I need an attorney who cared about my case as if it was his own family member in trouble. I needed all the attention from him and his staff as if it was the only case they had.. I got exactly that. They answered all my questions no matter how complicated and or stupid they were. They made me feel comfortable and good about the case at all times. I only had to go to court once. . I am a very satisfied client and will always refer people to Simon and his team. Thank you for being there for me at the worst time of my life. you guys are awesome!"

"I just had Simon and his Marissa represent me for 17 days at my divorce trial. Tomorrow is closing arguments and we find out how the Judge will rule. But even before then I wanted to write on here for the world to read that these two attorneys did an amazing job on my case. They have been working day and night preparing for my case. The attorney on the other side is a celebrity $700 an hour attorney but it did not show. We were better prepared. Simon and Marissa should be the ones that are charging $700.00. They were that good. (Don't worry they don't) No matter how the Judge rules tomorrow I recommend Simon, Marissa, and Core Law Group."

"Simon is and will be the attorney for my entire family. I contacted him last minute with a case involving my tenant. He reviewed the documents and very quickly answered my questions. He also handled the other attorney on my case with finesse and tact to get the right info we needed. Thank you Simon. Dr. Manijeh Motaghy"
