I am a criminal defense attorney. I met with Kell to a couple of years ago at his office to discuss an employment law situation I was facing at the time. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. I've recommended him to many people... family, friends, and many clients. Highly recommended! - Greg T.

I found Kell when randomly searching for an employment attorney in Austin. It was a shot in the dark, but what a find! I don't even know where to start because I have so many favorable things to say about Kell. As soon as I had my first chat with him about my potential case, I felt confident he would easily become a trusted advisor and was pleased he was able and willing to work with me. He's honest, a great communicator, very responsive, easy to talk to, extremely well-versed in his field, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I have already recommended him to others and will continue to do so. You'd be hard pressed to find a better attorney for your employment case.
Kell, while polite and seemingly knowledgable, misses a LOT of scheduled calls. He took my case, reviewed my evidence, decided to attempt an settlement offer... only to send ONE email to the employer. He claims on his website to be "zealous..." but he refused to call them or send physical mail (i.e. USPS), and then decided to back out altogether... but wanted to refer me to ANOTHER employment attorney. Wasted 3 months of my time. Horrible experience.

Mr Simon's was very personal. Took time to look at my case and was straight up with me. Even tho he was very busy with other cases and could not take mine do to time limit on my case, would very highly recommend him.

I contacted a dozen of attorneys about a possible employment dispute. I was quite frustrated that no attorney would tell me straight away if I had a legal case or not without having me pay up to $350 for an one-hour consultation.
That was until I contacted Kell Simon’s office.
Kell called me back the same day. After listening to my story for a few minutes, over the phone, Kell told me that I did not have a legal case, he also gave me very good suggestions on my next steps. All for 15 minutes or so, without charging me a penny!
Do not get me wrong, I am more than willing to pay fairly for an attorney and his/her service if I pursue a legal case. I just resent that so many attorneys would not tell me whether I have a legal case or not, until having me pay $350 for a consultation?! It made me feel that those attorneys were after my $ regardless, that does not instill trust.
Through this brief interaction with Kell, his professional candor, honest advice and his attitude of acting in the best in a potential customer made a deep impression on me. He is a rare exception.
Trust goes a long way in any professional work relationships. If I ever need the relevant legal services, without doubt, Kell Simon would be my # 1 choice to consider.
Thank you, Kell!

Kell Simon has passion for, expertise in, and commitment to labor and employment law. Because of his high proficiency in this arena, Kell was able to quickly understand my objectives and advocate for me on that basis. I wanted a swift resolution to my employment issues, without litigation, and Kell delivered!

Submitted my case information, was contacted, and they were interested in the case - UNTIL I mentioned that i was a devout Christian and that I had been retaliated against for my beliefs and was terminated for standing up for my beliefs - it was at that time i was told: "Oh, I'm sorry, we don't take cases like this." It was fine until you found out I believe in and follow the Lord Jesus. The bible says we'll endure these types of things, and it just makes us better people. It's unfortunate that these people, and most in America, don't want anything to do with Jesus or Christianity, and that/ this is what's wrong with our country. I will be praying for these poor lost souls, for judging me and my situation.
God will lead me to the right attorney, as will He lead you. Avoid attorneys like this. Avoid them.

I had a contractor / employment contract that I needed reviewed. He got back to me quickly, we sat down and went through the parts I had questions on. We changed some minor things to clarify them and better protect both parties and the company agreed to those changes. I would definitely recommend him if you are looking for peace of mind before signing something.

Mr. Simon assisted me with a case back in 2009 and ended around 2012. I am so thankful for everything he did. I thank his honesty and his dedication. If you want someone honest, dedicated, and with integrity, then Kell is your lawyer!

Simply put... Kell is a great attorney. He was super knowledgeable and super responsive. He's eager to advise even before you choose him as your attorney. His team's responsive made all the difference in the world. Thanks for a awesome experience in such an awful situation.

I never even got to speak with him directly. I had to talk to his assistant and he rejected the case before he even spoke to me. Horrible service. I'd pick zero stars if I could. I'd at least like a courtesy call considering I was to give you business i.e. money. FYI be cautious with businesses with only 5 stars. That's usually an indication of people being paid to write reviews or friends writing reviews. Not every one business always has 5 stars. Look how generic the reviews are. They can't even speak about their specific cases. Ha

Kell was always available to me when I had questions including the weekends. I have never been through this type of process before and he took the time to translate legal terms into plain English. I would gladly recommend Kell's legal services. Thank you Kell!!!

Congrats Kell for setting up your own practice. I'm highly confident with your skills, capabilities, knowledge and experience it will be a huge success. I first hired Kell back during 2010 to assist with a Non-Compete and Employment agreement. Since then I have recommended him to other contacts and utilized his services again in 2014. His expertise, professionalism and guidance on each occasion has been excellent. Highly recommended to executives, middle mgmt & employees at all levels.

Kell Simon was simply excellent in assisting with my husband's severance issue and our many questions, and we felt so comfortable with him. He was highly knowledgeable and responsive beyond our expectations. Even though he told us he was going to be in the middle of a big trial for part of the time he was working with us, he went out of his way to make himself available to us by phone and was quick to respond when we contacted him--we were quite surprised by this. He really seemed to go out of his way, and we never felt rushed. He seemed generous with his time and very patient and understanding with our concerns and took the time to thoroughly explain things to our satisfaction. He gave us really smart advice that resulted in a very good outcome, and he gave us realistic expectations from the start. He is also a really personable and friendly fellow as well. I think you couldn't ask for more in an employment attorney, and I highly recommend him.

After getting laid off my job unjustly, and after other attorney's turned me down, Kell personally called me and advised that he would take my case. Over the past few months, with Kell staying in close touch with me, we were able to obtain a favorable result. We didn't have to go to court and I felt justice was served on my behalf. I really believe I could not have found a more understanding and respectful counselor as I did in Kell Simon. I would not hesitate to use Kell again or refer him to anyone needing a good counselor and someone that will truly fight for your rights. God bless & thanks for a job well done Kell.

I retained Kell Simon to assist me with a disability discrimination case due to a long-term illness within the workplace. I cannot say enough about the level of professionalism and expertise I experienced as a client of Mr. Simon. He is the most efficient, proactive, thorough attorney I have ever worked with & he was a true advocate for me throughout the entire case.
Mr. Simon responded to me within the same day via email or phone which is so rare these days, he was incredibly proactive in updating me about the status of my case and offered sound, practical advice along with true compassion and of course ended with a very favorable resolution.
In addition, I called multiple attorneys even paying one a consultation fee prior to deciding on Mr. Simon. One of the main reasons I made my final decision was due to speaking with Geni Simon, the firm’s office manager (and Mr. Simon’s wife) who took my initial call. She was incredibly responsive, sharp-as-a-tack intelligent and extremely warm. She said Mr. Simon would call me back that day and he did! All of the other offices that I called, the intakes were less than enthusiastic and made multiple mistakes including the attorney’s office that I had paid the fee to which I did not get a refund on…
That said I have made multiple recommendations to family, friends & professional associates to Mr. Simon, as he became a trusted advisor who truly had my best interest at heart and he has the passion and energy along with a deep understanding of law to get the job done!

I highly recommend Mr. Kell Simon. At first, I did not know what to expect, but Kell walked me step by step and addressed all of my worries and concerns in a timely manner. Mr. Simon is very knowledgeable of the laws and practices. His guidance through this legal battle was what gave me the strength I needed to push forward. My employer is not one to give in without a fight, and I am fortunate to have Kell on my side fighting for me. During one of my hearings, I actually felt sorry for my opponents; Kell handled everything and I believe the opposing party, my employer, realized that the situation was very serious. They even added more infractions against me without my knowledge, but Kell set them straight. In short, no matter what situation I was in, Kell has gone the extra mile for me and my family. I am truly grateful to have him on my side as my attorney and sorry for anyone that goes against him; if the need arises, he will be the first person I contact. Thank you Kell.

I sought Kell out in an effort to right a wrong. I was all set to go on FMLA that had been pre-approved. The last day of work prior to my surgery I was fired without cause. With Texas being a right to work and an at will state, I did not think I had very many means of recourse. I did not have any delusions that this was going to be a slam dunk and some sort of a financial windfall for me, nor was that my goal. I just wanted my prior employer to think a little more about their current business practices. Kell told me it would be a long process as several steps were needed before we would even be in a position of power if we ever got there at all. Kell stayed the course and saw the process through to the end. Kell stuck it out to the end and did not pressure me to make a decision one way or the other. He simply gave guidance. My resolution was always geared towards being a moral victory of sorts. Kell could easily have pushed me to settle and get this off his plate, but he didn't. Thanks Kell! I appreciate your help!

Logical, practical and reasonably priced. Kell worked diligently to ensure that my separation with my company went as smoothly as possible. His attention to detail, knowledge of best practices and legal guidance was a godsend to me during a very difficult time. Kell employs a work ethic that cannot be matched. While I hope to never require his services again - If I am ever in a similar situation, I will call him first!
