"I am convinced that the skills of a trial attorney are not limited to one area of practice. A talented trial attorney can work up and try any case, and do it well. "
The Simon Law Firm is proud to be a vibrant participant in the St. Louis community. Annually, our firm sponsors seminars and contributes to many local causes. Read more below:
Simon Law Firm Trial Practice Seminar to Benefit Legal Services of Eastern Missouri
In 2005 the Simon Law Firm founded a trial practice seminar designed to do two
things: 1) provide ongoing education for attorneys and 2) raise money for Legal
Services of Eastern Missouri. Since 2005, the seminar has grown dramatically,
regularly attracting over 100 attendees. Lectures are given by attorneys and
judges on a diverse range of topics by people recognized as experts in their
fields, and attorneys pay to attend. Every dollar is donated to Legal Services.
Over the last several years, the project has raised more than $65,000.
Project XOXO
In 2009 the Simon Law Firm recognized that local charities were experiencing a
perfect storm that jeopardized their work. Due to a bad economy, their services
were needed more than ever, but their funding was as low as it had ever been.
As a result, people suffered. In response to this, the Simon Law Firm reached
out to other firms and organizations in St. Louis in an effort to start a
massive legal charity project. The result is Project XOXO. Sponsored by the
Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis (BAMSL) and the Missouri Association
of Trial Attorneys (MATA), the project is designed to reach out to firms, big
and small, for donations for local charities. The event culminates with a
reception at the Old Courthouse were donors are recognized, and those who run
the charities who are receiving support can share with donors the good their
money will do. Project XOXO hopes to raise $100,000 in 2010. Visit www.projectxoxo.com for updates on donations and a chance to
give.
