Tough experienced litigator
I had the occasion to employ Mr. Silverman in a litigation matter that called for judgment, sensitivity, and toughness. I was extremely pleased with his representation and with the result obtained. I consider him to be one of the "go to" lawyers in New York City for a challenging matter involving complex litigation or bankruptcy.

Irving H.Picard, as Trustee v. Carmen Dell'Orefice
At my first meeting with Mr. Paul H. Silverman, hired him that day not quite 2 years ago! He was direct, no nonsense, respectful, patient, listener, followed by his calm clear description of what I was in for, and what he felt my options were, and probable cost would be, according to which direction I would choose to take ?
His billing; Every minute he spent on my behalf was impeccably described on paper to my satisfaction, in spite of the fact, who likes to pay any attorney.
Having invested my life savings, like many many other people with Bernie Madeoff, I was cognizant of the depth of the problem I was bringing to him, since my bankruptcy in 2008.
The Supreme Court made a ruling called "Claw Back", which says all victims who took out any interest from their account MUST pay it back.
Mr. Silverman successfully negotiated a lower Clawback Fee for me and guided me to a settlement meaning an amount of money as victim, was forced to pay back after eight years. That is the law!
All along this negotiation process, Mr. Silverman's patient explanation of my options brought me to my decision to Settle.
PS. Believe me this is an old-school experienced war horse! and now, so am I ! Thank You
