WHAT THEY SAY

---

"I wanted to let you know how much your kindness and your diligent works meant to us. Your compassion and understanding was what saw us through that ordeal." -D.L.

"I came to understand her approach to cases more closely and her thoughtfulness in knowing the family and making their damages known and fully realized was better than any I had seen with any lawyer in the decades I had done this work." -J.M.D.

"Simona Farrise is one of the most amazing woman and trial lawyers that I have had the pleasure to know and be friends with.  She fights fearlessly for her clients and for justice.  She cares passionately about people and causes and what is right and fair.  The world is a much better place because she is in it."  -L.R.

"Simona is unparalleled in her fierceness as a champion for female minority plaintiff lawyers and for victims of injustice. " -K.K.

"Simona's career exemplifies someone who mentors and cares for others in the profession.  I am one of many young lawyers who think of Simona  as one of the lawyers that gave us direction and support.  She has come to my trials to provide guidance. She checks on me after trial knowing how difficult the process is and how support is needed."  -J.D.

"...We are so proud of you and grateful for all you have done for so many."  -N.R.

"I met Simona Farrise more than 30 years ago when I was a law school student... She volunteered to coach our Moot Court team for a regional competition,... By then, Simona was an associate with a major Bay Area firm, pursuing Plaintiff’s side Tort litigation. Meeting her for the first time left an impression on me that has remained all the years since that time, of what an impassioned and confident litigator looked like. Up until then, I had never gotten to know a practicing attorney and a woman practicing attorney at that. Beyond her tutelage of our team, my conversations with Simona about my life and my aspirations set the stage for her extension of mentoring and friendship that has lasted all these years since then." -name withheld

"Forever a guiding light and a blessing to clients and fellow lawyers."  -S.C.

"When I unexpectedly became pregnant in my last year of law school, I faced the prospect

of starting my legal career as a single mother. It was frightening for me, in many ways, to say the least. Simona was the only person whose advice on what to expect for my career and life was accurate because she had also been a mother during her time in law school. She told me that my life would change in ways that I could not yet imagine, and not give up on myself, or my future as a dynamic lawyer. Simona encouraged me to carve out a path in this career that was uniquely my own, which I did, with her encouragement and support. I trusted her words and experience

and never looked back. As a result, I have had a rich and varied career ..., thanks to the support of Simona and others." -C.S.
