The law firm Simon Bridgers Spires has announced that attorneys Christopher Simon and Tyler Bridgers have been named to the 2026 Super Lawyers list for excellence in Georgia personal injury law. This recognition by Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters business, identifies attorneys who have attained a high level of peer recognition and professional achievement, representing approximately the top 5% of lawyers in the state.
Christopher Simon, the firm's founder, has been selected to the Super Lawyers list for over 15 consecutive years. His background as a former insurance defense attorney provides a strategic advantage in personal injury litigation. Simon's experience defending insurance companies before transitioning to plaintiff advocacy in 2007 enables the firm to anticipate defense strategies effectively. This unique perspective has contributed to the firm securing what it terms "Uncommon Results," having recovered over $155 million for clients.
Tyler Bridgers, a partner at the firm, has been elevated to the Super Lawyers list after six consecutive years (2020–2025) as a Super Lawyers "Rising Star." This transition marks his recognition as an established veteran within the Georgia legal community. Bridgers, a graduate of Emory University School of Law, has developed a reputation for handling complex motor vehicle accident cases, particularly car and truck collisions across North Georgia.
The Super Lawyers selection process employs a multiphase methodology that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, independent research evaluation of candidates, and peer reviews organized by practice area. This rigorous approach aims to create a credible and diverse listing of exceptional attorneys. More information about the selection methodology can be found at https://www.superlawyers.com.
Simon Bridgers Spires operates with offices in Atlanta and Athens, Georgia, focusing on representing victims of motor vehicle accidents, trucking collisions, and wrongful death cases. The firm emphasizes "Traditional Values, Uncommon Results" as its operating principle. The dual recognition of both Simon and Bridgers by Super Lawyers underscores the firm's established position in Georgia's personal injury legal landscape. For individuals and families affected by serious accidents, this recognition may serve as an indicator of legal capability and peer respect within the professional community.
The implications of this announcement extend to potential clients seeking legal representation, as Super Lawyers recognition is often used as a benchmark for attorney quality. For the legal industry in Georgia, consistent recognition of attorneys like Simon highlights long-term professional excellence, while Bridgers' transition from "Rising Star" to Super Lawyers status illustrates career progression within the state's legal ranks. The firm's reported recovery of over $155 million for clients demonstrates the tangible financial impact skilled personal injury representation can have on individuals and families navigating the aftermath of accidents.
