Mr James P Asci

Mr Silver was highly recommended to me by my financial planners Grimes And Co. and I have been very satisfied with his service. My wife and i recently retired and needed estate planning. Mr. Silver took his time and reviewed all our option in words we understood, he promptly created a wills for my wi...fe and myself, a trust, HCP for us both and house deed and a Declaration of Homestead. Mr silver has been readily available to us to for any questions we have had.His fee was reasonable and i would give him my highest recommendation.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
