Harlan G. Simon
Check out Harlan Simon Glass Beads
Harlan re-joined Hammond Law Group in January 2003 as a partner to open its San Francisco office. Harlan worked in Ohio for our firm in the early 90′s, but returned home to California to work in civil litigation. He specialized in psychotherapy malpractice. As partner in charge of the firm’s West Coast Office, Harlan now provides business services including sales support to HLG’s west coast clients.
Harlan is married and has two children, a girl, Ariela, born in 1999, and a boy, born on 01-01-01. The couple was tempted to name this second child bino boy in honor of the binary code, or just plain Owen, which name-wise, is pretty close to 0-one. The couple settled, instead, on Elon.
Harlan is an avid practitioner of the ancient art of making flamework glass beads. To his delight, among Ariela and Elon’s first utterings was the word bead. Beer was another of the infant’s first words, attesting to either the ease with which young children pronounce one syllable words starting with hard consonants, or the prevalence of yummy tasting microbrewed beers on the West Coast. The word lawyer, understandably, never had the same infantile appeal.
Harlan has lived and traveled abroad extensively, including study in France, Italy, Berlin, Guatemala, and visits to former East Block countries, as well as Japan, Ecuador, and Southeast Asia.
