Dedicated Representation for Serious Matters

The Law Offices of Lawrence M. Simon maintains offices in Ridgewood, New Jersey and Goshen, New York. The two principals of the firm are Lawrence M. Simon, and his mother, Marguerite T. Simon, a retired New Jersey Superior Court Judge. The firm’s primary focus is representing victims of serious accidents while promoting public safety awareness. Our personal injury clients are often victims of a crime, a dangerous driver or trucking company, an unsafe product, or a neglectful nursing home. When the government and the criminal justice system fail to right a wrong or fail to eliminate a safety hazard, the civil justice system is often the only remedy available.

Our firm believes that promoting public safety applies to everyone. Those that expect other individuals or corporations to act safely and behave properly should follow basic safety measures. Wear a helmet while biking or motorcycling, cross at the crosswalk, wear a seatbelt at all times, and refrain from texting while driving. In addition to our personal injury practice, we also handle estate and trust matters. At times this practice compliments our personal injury practice. Our familiarity with estate issues is important to our clients when we are a prosecuting a wrongful death case. We regularly assist individuals who receive benefits from Medicaid or Medicare, and understand how a settlement or verdict can affect their benefits.

Although we are a litigation firm, we recognize the need to assist our courts in eliminating backlog. Marguerite T. Simon runs our firm’s mediation and arbitration practice. Both firm principals are Rule 1:40 Court Approved Mediators.
