HOW WE CAN HELP

cRIMINAL & PROTECTIVE MATTERS

CRIMINAL DEFENSE

WHEN YOUR FREEDOM AND FUTURE ARE AT STAKE, YOU DESERVE AN ADVOCATE PREPARED TO FIGHT FOR YOU.

Being accused of a crime can affect nearly every aspect of your life—from your freedom and employment to your reputation and family.

At the Law Office of Mary J. Simon, L.L.C., we understand what is at stake.

We approach criminal defense with careful preparation, strategic analysis, and determined advocacy. We take the time to listen to your account, examine the allegations and evidence, explain the legal process, identify potential defenses, and develop a strategy tailored to your circumstances.

An accusation does not define you. You deserve to have your voice heard and your rights protected.

Our criminal defense representation may include matters involving:

  • Misdemeanor and felony charges

  • Assault and related offenses

  • Theft and property offenses

  • Domestic-related criminal allegations

  • Drug-related offenses

  • Probation matters

  • Pretrial and bond matters

  • Criminal motions and hearings

  • Trial representation

Facing criminal charges? You do not have to navigate the process alone.

DUI & TRAFFIC DEFENSE

PROTECTING YOUR LICENSE, YOUR RECORD, AND YOUR FUTURE.

A DUI or serious traffic charge can create consequences far beyond a courtroom appearance. Your driving privileges, employment, insurance, finances, and even your freedom may be affected.

We provide individualized representation designed to help clients understand the charges against them, the possible consequences, and the options available for moving forward.

Representation may include:

  • DUI and DWI matters

  • Driving while suspended or revoked

Every case is different. We examine the circumstances carefully and work toward the most favorable resolution reasonably available.

PEACE & PROTECTIVE ORDERS

WHEN YOUR SAFETY, RIGHTS, AND REPUTATION ARE AT STAKE, YOU DESERVE TO BE HEARD.

Peace and protective order proceedings can arise quickly and may involve highly personal allegations, complicated relationships, and significant consequences.

At the Law Office of Mary J. Simon, L.L.C., we understand that there are people and circumstances on both sides of these proceedings. We provide thoughtful, strategic representation to individuals seeking protection as well as those responding to allegations and orders filed against them.

Representation may include:

  • Peace order proceedings

  • Protective order proceedings

  • Temporary and final hearings

  • Preparation for court

  • Presentation of evidence and witnesses

  • Modification or extension proceedings

Representation for Respondents

Being served with a peace or protective order can be overwhelming, particularly when you believe the allegations are inaccurate, incomplete, or do not tell the full story.

Respondents deserve an opportunity to understand the allegations against them, present their side, and protect their legal rights.

We can assist with:

  • Reviewing the allegations and petition

  • Explaining the potential consequences of an order

  • Preparing for temporary or final hearings

  • Identifying and preparing relevant evidence

Your safety matters. Your rights matter. Your voice matters.

We help clients navigate difficult circumstances while remaining focused on their rights, their children, and their future.

WHAT TO EXPECT

A Legal Experience Built Around You.

Hiring an attorney should not leave you wondering what happens next.

From the first consultation through the resolution of your matter, our goal is to provide a legal experience grounded in communication, transparency, preparation, and trust.

1. We Listen

Your consultation begins with your story. We want to understand what happened, what concerns you, and what you hope to accomplish.

2. We Help You Understand

Legal terminology and procedures can be confusing. We explain your situation and available options in clear, understandable language.

3. We Develop a Strategy

No two clients or cases are exactly alike. Your legal strategy should reflect your circumstances, priorities, and goals.

4. We Keep You Involved

You should never feel like a spectator in your own legal matter. We believe in keeping clients informed and involving them in important decisions throughout their representation.

5. We Advocate

Once we understand your goals and develop a strategy, we are prepared to advocate diligently for your interests.

You bring us your story. We bring knowledge, preparation, strategy, and advocacy. Together, we move forward.

WHY CHOOSE US?

Representation That Sees the Person Behind the Case.

At the Law Office of Mary J. Simon, L.L.C., we believe the attorney-client relationship should be built on more than legal knowledge.

It should be built on trust.

Clients choose our firm because they want an attorney who will listen, communicate, prepare, and advocate.

Here, you can expect:

  • Individualized attention

  • Clear and honest communication

  • Compassionate counsel

  • Strategic preparation

  • Strong advocacy

  • Respect for your voice and perspective

  • Meaningful involvement in your legal process

  • A welcoming environment where questions are encouraged

We do not lose sight of the fact that what may appear to be a legal file is actually someone’s freedom, child, family, business, livelihood, or future.

That understanding shapes the way we practice law.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What happens during my initial consultation?

Your consultation is an opportunity for us to learn about your legal matter and for you to learn about the firm. We will discuss your circumstances, concerns, and goals and identify potential next steps when appropriate.

It is also your opportunity to ask questions and determine whether our firm is the right fit for you.

Will I understand what is happening with my case?

That is one of our priorities.

We believe clients should understand their legal matters and be involved in important decisions. We strive to explain legal concepts and procedures in clear language and communicate with you throughout your representation.

Will you guarantee the outcome of my case?

No ethical attorney can guarantee a particular result.

What we can promise is thoughtful preparation, honest communication, individualized attention, and diligent advocacy on your behalf.

What should I bring to my consultation?

Bring any documents that may relate to your matter, including court documents, contracts, correspondence, notices, citations, police-related documents, or other relevant records.

For criminal and traffic matters, provide any charging documents or court information available to you.

How much will my case cost?

Legal fees depend on the nature and complexity of the matter and the services required. Fee arrangements will be discussed before representation begins so that you understand the financial terms of the engagement.

Does contacting the firm automatically mean you represent me?

No. Contacting the firm or submitting information through the website does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship. Representation begins only after the firm agrees to accept the matter and the required engagement agreement has been completed.

Is the information I submit through the website confidential?

Please avoid submitting highly sensitive or confidential information through the website before an attorney-client relationship has been established. Provide only the information necessary for us to understand the general nature of your inquiry.

READY TO TALK?

Your Story Deserves to Be Heard.

Whether you are facing criminal charges, navigating a custody or child-welfare matter, dealing with a serious traffic offense, tackling a peace order, reviewing an important contract, disputing a landlord/tenant issue, battling a personal injury, or building a Direct Primary Care practice, you deserve legal guidance that recognizes the importance of what you are facing.
