Jenna Silverman

Jenna is an exceptional lawyer. She did a superb job representing me. She is very smart and is a fierce advocate. She has excellent instincts and tactical judgment. Jenna knew my file inside out and always had time for me. She is a very talented lawyer with highest integrity. She is a star. I a...m grateful she was my lawyer in the trying circumstances of my divorce.

Not a good choice at all!!!

Ms. Silverman handled my case and it was a disaster. She is arrogant and can not admit she is wrong even when presented with the truth. During a conference meeting with my ex and his lawyers she sat on her computer under the pretense of taking notes when in fact she was doing other things. She didn’...t stop the lawyers from walking all over me claiming that they were correct in what they were saying. When I said did you ever even read my file or the documents I submitted she said yes of course. She even billed me for “review of file” almost an hour yet she was wrong and when I pointed it out with the proof, she said l will email the lawyers. Sat in a meeting for over four hours and she didn’t defend me and now was going to bill me again to fix what she could have done in the meeting. Note, she also got very moody with me and walked away when I pointed out her errors and wouldn’t take my calls for the next week.

Unfortunately, this person did not put his/her name to the review, so I can't comment on specifics. If, in fact, any client of mine felt this way, then I apologize if I turned a stressful divorce into a more unpleasant event.

Recommend without any hesitation

Jenna Silverman is very knowledgeable in her field , and fights aggressively to get the job the done. When I need to get in contact with her she responds immediately back . I am very self assured having her as my trial divorce attorney. Life has giving me a curveball and I feel very confident havin...g her representing me in NY Supreme Court and Family court matters. The divorce process has been very difficult to my kids and I, and she has been given helpful tips to move forward in our lives. When in the courtroom she's very respectful to the judge and shows professionalism to other attorneys. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a divorce attorney.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Jul 07

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have known Jenna for a number of years and have had about a dozen cases with her. Beneath her pleasant demeanor is a well-researched and dogged opponent who is the very epitome of putting your client first. She labors over every element and every detail of each matter which should her inspire her opposition to do so, or they proceed at their own peril. She has also exhibits the proper client control to keep someone reasonable so they do not miss the opportunity to resolve a matter in their favor. She is an honorable warrior and worthy adversary. In a practice that has a reputation of getting down into the mud, she is that diamond in the rough. She has my full endorsement."
