God forbid you lose a loved one, this is the team you want to have!

I wouldn’t wish my journey on anyone, but if you ever find yourself in a similar situation, please reach out to Silver Golub & Teitell LLP. Attorney Peter Dreyer and his paralegal Kimberly Wood were a true blessing — they guided me through my late husband’s malpractice case, even reduced a lien from ...nearly $100,000 to just $64! They guided and assisted me to the right attorney to set up a trust for my daughter and treated me with care, compassion, and true dedication every step of the way! There has not been a time when I couldn’t reach out and Kimberley and Peter not respond, Including showing up and supporting my own endeavors! I feel like they’re family and our relationship is priceless! I HIGHLY recommend this firm, Silver Golub & Teitell LLP for the win!

Outstanding lawyer

Attorney Peter Dryer and his paralegal Kimberly Wood are simply amazing. From the moment my late husband and I met them we knew we were in the best of hands. Due to Covid our case lingered on for six years, well past the death of my husband. Peter kept me informed at every turn. He coached me ...through my incredibly difficult and emotional deposition. He was articulate and highly knowledgeable conducting countless depositions for our case. He is not just an amazing lawyer he is a kind, considerate man with a good dose of humor to boot. Kimberly was available to me any time of the day. Her responses were immediate if only to say she’d get back to me. I can’t imagine going through such a heart wrenching ordeal with any other legal team. The outcome of our case was outstanding.

Best Choice

We first contacted Peter when we started our medical malpractice journey almost five years ago shortly after the surgery accident happened. He and his paralegal assistant Kim expertly guided us through the long judicial process , handling not only the complex legal issues but all of the roller-coaste...r emotional ones as well. It became quite evident that we made a great lawyer choice when we witnessed all of the other lawyers during depositions. Peter was clearly head and shoulders above the rest - he was always well prepared, having completely researched all of the medical procedures and surgical tool nuances so that he knew exactly what questions to ask the witnesses. He always remained calm, courteous and professional when questioning them, and left no stone unturned. When we became frustrated with the slow process, which dragged on for years (partly due to being in the midst of Covid), he always listened patiently to our concerns, responded in a way we understood, and never pressured us one way or the other - decisions were always, in the end, left up to us (although he clearly gave us his own recommendations). He and Kim were "our team", and we knew we could always contact them if we had questions or issues. We are relieved that this chapter is behind us, and would certainly recommend Peter to anyone needing this type of assistance.

Highly Skilled, Reliable Attorney

Mr. Dreyer is an excellent skillful attorney who is quite dependable, careful, and very pleasant to work with. He is very calm and professional and ethical. He gives great advise. He has a great deal of experience in liability cases. I cannot recommend him highly enough. I was 100% happy with every a...spect of his involvement in my case.

Wrongful death claim

Attorney Peter Dreyer handled the complicated wrongful death claim for my husband, who died in January 2013 at Hartford Hospital. I found Peter to be skilled, knowledgeable, honest, exceptionally professional and sympathetic. His strong work ethic and persistence to uncover all the medical facts w...as outstanding. His calm and reassuring manner throughout the litigation process helped my family and I to navigate through the most difficult time of our lives. Peter and his paralegal, Kimberly Wood, kept me promptly informed and updated throughout the arduous process. Together, they make quite a powerful legal team! Adept, honorable and resolute are a few words I would use to describe Attorney Peter Dreyer.
