Mr. Simeon gave me free legal advice many years ago in regards to a DWI/ POSS charge. Represented myself and prevailed on both charges! $25 for a seatbelt ticket and I was adjudicated! This man fights for the people!

I first retained Mark Simeon 15 years ago, referred by my auntie. He handles all the traffic tickets for my whole family. We all knew he was an excellent lawyer, but after what he just accomplished for my fiancé, I must say he's the absolute BEST!! Long ago, some people in town started calling him "Houdini" because he can make license suspensions disappear off drivers' records. Now I see why -- my finance's license was suspended PERMANENTLY, several time over, and now, all the PERMs are gone! It took some time, and honestly, more money than we can afford, but it was so, so worth it. Simeon has a system, and it works. I hear he recently started a nonprofit law firm for NC driver license restoration so that he can help people who can't afford him. Let's hope they get the grants and donations they need to stay afloat because it's too many people out here driving on revoked licenses because they just don't have the money for lawyers like him. Anyway, Mark Simeon gets my top vote. I'd give him ten stars if I could!

Mr. Simeon helped reduce the charges significantly for a traffic ticket for our daughter. He was persistent, and he followed through with the DA office when needed. Although the process took some time (due to needing to be patient to talk with the proper people who had authority), the results were super impressive. Her charges were significantly reduced, and she did not end up with a misdemeanor or points on her license or community service, and her fees were reduced as well. AWESOME results! Highly recommend his services!

Mark Simeon is, without a doubt, the best lawyer I have ever had—and I've had plenty of them. It's a long complicated story that involved me going several years without a license. I consulted at least three other lawyers who said they could not do anything to help and that it would be at least three years before I could drive again. Mark took on my case with confidence, took the time to pore over multiple folders of documents I had amassed over the years, but most importantly he LISTENED to and BELIEVED me when I said that I was a good person, who had made some mistakes but just wanted to be legal! Mr. Simeon was communicative, available, asked questions about my past and present situations (for once I didn't feel like a number or an ATM), and was genuinely interested in me as a person. Some of my past lawyers have been lukewarm, uninterested, even dismissive. I am an honest, smart person who made a few mistakes and really wanted to straighten them out. Mark took the time to get to know my personal situation, which meant so much to me. And, best of all, he did what no one else was able to: he got my license back within six weeks of my paying him. After so many others said it was impossible. All it took was some attention to detail. Mark has a "whatever and however long it takes" approach that I can personally relate to. His work ethic is impressive and there were times when we communicated about my case well past banker's hours (I had a wacky schedule at the time). That also meant a lot. I recommend Mark Simeon with the highest enthusiasm possible. I have also seen him do the same thing for two other friends. Good guy—GREAT attorney.
