An Honest Lawyer !!!!

I recently asked Josh Silber to handle an injury claim for me. I was very pleased that I did. Josh handled everything for me in a prompt, courteous and professional manner. In fact when it came down to the actual settlement, he far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Josh.

Such an easy experience...

Referred to Josh by a friend for a personal injury case. Put all my fears at rest immediately, such a smooth process and great communication along the way.

Thank You!

Josh was very kind to me and my family during a very difficult time and did a great job with my case.

Caring, considerate, and extremely intelligent attorney

Josh Silber is an amazing attorney. He supported me throughout my lawsuit always keeping me informed on what was happening presently and what was still left to be completed. Josh guided me through the procedure and kept me collected and calm the entire time we were involved in the lawsuit. I would re...commend Josh Silber to anyone that needed a personal injury attorney.

My favorite lawyer

Josh has handled a personal injury case that resulted in a Win situation for me. Josh kept me apprised of all his conversations, court filings, etc. each step of the way. I was comfortable enough with Josh to allow him to make some of the decisions for me.

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.
