Meet Julia A. Simon
With over 33 years of experience as a trial lawyer, general counsel, and c-suite executive, I bring knowledge, experience and ingenuity to my role as a neutral. I understand the plaintiff who feels disrespected, taken advantage of, misrepresented, or discriminated against. I understand the defendant who believes they have met their obligations, tried to do the right thing, are misunderstood, or its just business.
I understand the parties’ desire to have their day in court and to be proven right. The reality is that less than 3 percent of cases filed go to trial. The most likely outcome is settlement. I can help you get there.

If you’re facing a complex business dispute, internal workplace issue, or even early signs of a potential conflict, a strategic advisor can help you map out risks, evaluate your options, and create a clear strategy for resolution — often before things escalate further.
Yes. A trained mediator is committed to impartiality. Their role isn’t to take sides or make decisions for you, but to create a safe, balanced space where both parties can speak openly and work toward solutions that feel fair to everyone involved.
