Why The Simone Law Firm?

We're not interested in creating an environment where attorneys feel they need to routinely work late nights or weekends just to keep up.

Instead, we want talented attorneys to have the resources, support, and autonomy necessary to perform excellent work and build sustainable careers.

You'll have direct interaction with clients and firm leadership while working with a team of paralegals and support professionals.

We also make a concentrated effort to maintain a positive office culture, including quarterly group outings, birthday lunches, and other opportunities for the team to connect.

We're growing, but we're still small enough that your work, ideas, and results will have a visible impact on the firm and the clients we serve.
