The firm, originally known as The Orlando Family Firm, was founded in 2009 by attorney Jonathan Simon, who is now the Chief Executive Officer of Orlando Legal and a Board Certified Expert in Marital and Family Law. Although Jonathan was a young lawyer at the time, he had already gained substantial experience as a litigator and family law attorney at two larger law firms in Orlando, and he recognized that the Central Florida community had a need for family law attorneys that could provide attentive, effective representation to clients with a wide range of legal needs in the family law arena.
