David M. Simon brings more than 17 years of litigation experience to every case he handles, combining exceptional courtroom skills with meticulous legal research and writing abilities honed throughout his career.

David began his legal career as an Assistant District Attorney in the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office, where he developed a reputation for thorough preparation and persuasive advocacy. He spent several years in the Appeals Unit, mastering complex legal research and appellate brief writing. He then served five years in the Trial Division, where he prosecuted violent felonies from preliminary hearings through jury trials, building extensive courtroom experience and sharpening his trial skills.

After his prosecution career, David transitioned to criminal defense, representing clients in state and federal courts throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey. He became known for tackling the most challenging cases involving intricate legal issues. His expertise in legal research and writing made him a trusted resource for attorneys across the region, leading him to launch a consulting firm dedicated to providing research and appellate writing support to fellow litigators.
David's passion for advocacy eventually drew him back to the courtroom. He joined a Philadelphia personal injury practice to fight for individuals injured through the negligence of others. There, he represented clients injured in motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall incidents, and construction site accidents. He also continued to handle criminal defense matters and provided appellate research and writing services to other attorneys.

David brought his experience to Dashevsky, Horwitz, Kuhn, Novello & Shorr, P.C., and continues to advocate for victims of negligence across Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

David lives in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, with his wife, two children, and their dog. When he's not in the courtroom or researching case law, he enjoys reading, attending concerts, and running.
