If you're looking for a firm where you can do sophisticated legal work, develop long-term client relationships, and build a career with a growing team, we'd like to meet you.

What Makes Someone Successful Here? Clients often come to us during complicated or emotionally challenging moments. The right attorney combines strong legal judgment with the ability to make clients feel informed, confident, and supported.
- Client-focused — You communicate clearly and build genuine trust with clients.

- Results-focused — You take ownership and work toward successful outcomes.
- Collaborative — You enjoy working alongside paralegals, attorneys, and support staff.
- Ethical — Honesty, professionalism, and respect guide your work.
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.
The Simone Law Firm represents clients throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania in matters involving Elder Law, Wills and Estates, Probate, Nursing Home Law, Health Law, Real Estate, Homeowner Association Law, Planning and Land Use, Zoning, Corporate Law, Contract Law, Business Law, and Collections.
