Daniel R. Simon

Knowledgeable on energy matters, but communication was inconsistent

I engaged Daniel Simon at Nelson Mullins to assist with a complex regulatory compliance issue for my small energy services company in the Charlotte area. His background in Energy Regulatory Law was evident; he clearly understood the nuances of the state and federal frameworks we were navigating. His recognition by Best Lawyers in that specific field gave me confidence in his technical expertise, and the analysis he provided was thorough. However, the experience fell short in a few practical areas. Responses to emails were sometimes delayed by several days, which created anxiety during time-sensitive phases of our project. While his final guidance was sound, explanations during our meetings occasionally leaned too heavily on jargon without clear translation to business impact. For straightforward regulatory advice, he is competent, but you may need to be proactive in managing communication expectations.
