He makes his home in Olympia, Washington with his wife and two daughters. Here are a few words from other attorneys who know Simon: About 15 years ago, I was a new prosecutor and assigned to watch Mr. Stocker prosecute a case. After watching him select a jury, examine witnesses and close, I thought to myself I will never be able to do this job. I didn't know he was the exception and extremely gifted with communication. If you want a rating- he is a 10, a phenomenal lawyer, who I would trust with my life. It is important that he deserves recognition because he has paid his dues and he knows how to argue a case. - Steve Karimi, Attorney Mr. Stocker and I have worked adverse to each other in the past. I have not endorsed many defense attorneys, but I will endorse Mr. Stocker. He was always prepared for court and advocated strongly for his clients. He was good at negotiation when appropriate and could spot issues with charges. - James Horlacher, Prosecuting Attorney I went to law school with Mr. Stocker back in the day and have known him for almost 20 years. He was and continues to be one of the most trustworthy and charismatic people I know. I don't hesitate to refer him potential criminal defense matters. - Jamie Mathey, Attorney As a family law attorney, sometimes my clients have civil issues. Simon is my go-to attorney for advice. He is prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. - Sara Tamblyn, Attorney

It was a difficult, complex case and the burden of proof was very high. Steve had proven to be extremely thorough, organized and dedicated to our case. We were confident that with all the complexities of this case all that could be done, was being done. We were always treated with the highest respect and kept completely informed along the way. After a 3 day trial with multiple witnesses we won our case and Steve petitioned the court and we received almost all of our attorney's fees back. A home run case for sure! We recently had a personal injury case due to defective assembly involving my husband where we received medical costs and a higher cash compensation than we had anticipated. We are fully confident that when we entrust our legal matters to Steve Henderson we are getting the best of the best! - D.C.
