Without you, I would not have been able to save my daughter’s life…

“To say my daughter and I have been through hell and back, as survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse, is an understatement…While I’ve had a range of lawyers previously, there is no one that I would have chosen over you as my partner and confidant in navigating all the dreadful obstacles and wrongdoings thrown our way. You are the best teammate I could have ever imagined or asked for.

I am so grateful for your sensitivity and care, but also your expertise, St. Salvatore, savior of women and children. You were by my side every single step of the way, speaking to me all hours of the day, all days of the week.

You were by my side every single step of the way, speaking to me all hours of the day, all days of the week. You were a shoulder for me to cry on when things were at their worst. You also listened to me and trusted me, my knowledge, and intuition. You read all of my research, and we brainstormed new avenues and approaches. You never shut me down or told me no. You always kept an open mind and focused on what we could do versus focusing on what we could not. You explored with me and contributed with even more resources. I felt there was no rock unturned with us. You gave me hope and patience.

The level of detail and care you put into your work is incomparable, and your passion for fighting for your clients shows in all you do.

You are an amazing attorney, but above all a wonderful person who saw us as human beings, not dollar signs. As a scrappy fighter who went to the school of hard knocks on the inner-city streets before obtaining her education and career, I appreciated the same grit and toughness from you in coming up much in the same way. I appreciate your huge level of awareness and perspective.

Without you, I would not have been able to save my daughter’s life. Thank you for always trusting me as I trusted you, and for never folding.

A Rare Example of Integrity, Professionalism and Genuine Human Empathy…

“I am writing to offer my strongest recommendation for Mr. Salvatore “Sal” Simeone, who represented me over the course of a four-year custody and relocation case. For a parent, navigating the family court system is not simply daunting — it is a draining, painful ordeal that tests you in ways few other experiences do. Against that backdrop, Sal Simeone stood out as a rare example of integrity, professionalism, and genuine human empathy.

Several qualities defined his representation:

Uncompromising integrity. Sal fought exceptionally hard for my interests, but always within the highest ethical standards, and he consistently encouraged de-escalation over escalation. At one point, he candidly told opposing counsel — who was less experienced — that he would not have made the unnecessary filings with the police that they had pursued. He was right: those filings ultimately hurt their case. Sal treats the legal system as a shield to protect his clients, not a sword to escalate conflict, even when a more aggressive approach might have been easier to justify.

A focus on resolution, not billable hours. Unlike the stereotypes often associated with family law, Sal was never interested in running up fees or filing unnecessary motions. His strategy was precise and purposeful, aimed at the most direct path to resolution rather than manufactured conflict.

Sal understood the emotional stakes at the heart of this case and never lost sight of what mattered most — my son’s well-being — even as the legal issues became contentious over four years.

A child-centered approach. Sal understood the emotional stakes at the heart of this case and never lost sight of what mattered most — my son’s well-being — even as the legal issues became contentious over four years.

Honest, realistic guidance. The emotional toll of a legal proceeding can cloud judgment, and Sal never let me lose sight of reality. Early in my case, he told me plainly: “Your son’s mother is never going to say, ‘Hey, great job, you’re a good dad.'” It took me a while to fully process that, but he was right — and that honesty, delivered with no illusions but also no cruelty, let me refine my co-parenting approach to align with the reality of the situation rather than an idealized version of it.

I recommend Sal without reservation to anyone seeking a lawyer who combines strong legal judgment with real humanity. If more family law practitioners approached their work the way he does, the entire system would be better for it.

That combination of sound strategy, ethical restraint, and honest counsel produced results: after four years, I received the custody and relocation decision I had requested. I recommend Sal without reservation to anyone seeking a lawyer who combines strong legal judgment with real humanity. If more family law practitioners approached their work the way he does, the entire system would be better for it.
