Great Attorney

Attorney Silverman help me once again. I was improperly served documents and he went right to work. He conferred with a collgue, Heather O'Connor, and they as a team diesceted the filing. Once everything was laid out Craig did what he does best - strategy; he prepared for court. On our court date he ...met with the opposing counsel, refusing anything less than the full resoration of rights. When presenting to the judge he was pointed. He presented all of the evidence that the order was based on lies. During the full day he continually ensured I knew every step. He knew that restoring rights was for the sake of my children. I cannot express how pleased I am to have hired Attorney Silverman. He is truly an advocate for children and their rights and doing what is right for them.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Oct 15

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. His keen ability to analyze a client's case and negotiate a favorable property division is uncanny. He knows the questions to ask, the strategies to employ, and once he gets an idea in his head, Attorney Silverman is a strong weapon for any spouse seeking divorce. If you have a spouse who plans on "playing dirty," your first move should be to hire Craig Silverman. He'll learn the story of your marriage and immediately put into place the moves needed to accomplish the most equitable outcome possible."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Attorney Silverman is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom - he is extremely thorough and fights diligently for what is in his client's best interests. Attorney Silverman truly pays attention to details and is a wiz with high asset divorce cases and complex procedural matters. I would recommend Attorney Silverman to anyone facing a divorce or custody matter."

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I worked closely with Craig from 2005 through 2011 at Boston Law Collaborative, LLC, and he demonstrated tenacity and skill as a litigator, and an equal ability to settle cases that were appropriate for settlement. I have seen him handle difficult adversaries and tough deadlines with a can-do attitude and a commendable work ethic. One of Craig’s major assets is his familiarity with the Probate and Family Court and its personnel. He has won additional favor from the Court by getting trained as a Conciliator, and he has already begun to settle cases there. I have entrusted him with clients who are exceptionally bright and exceptionally successful (one of them owned more than 30 businesses). In each of these cases, Craig has demonstrated a high level of dedication to the clients and compassion for them. Craig is hard-working, detail-oriented, and passionate about helping his clients manage the difficulties of divorce."
