Both parties benefit by separate representation

I am very thankful and pleased with the council I received from Ailie Silbert. She explained things clearly to me every step of the way while representing me through the Pre Nuptial agreement between me and my husband to be. I felt protected. She was right on top of everything guiding me through... the process.

Heartfelt support during a difficult phase

Ailie was straigthtfoward about explaining the process, highlighting the common law on divorces and separation while being a great listener for what my wife and I were trying to accomplish amicably. The process was super efficient, communication was great and it was fairly quick as well. I highly rec...ommend Ailie.

Separation Agreement Review

Ailie was very professional, compassionate and thorough in her review of my separation agreement my wife and I made with a Divorce Mediator. She took the time to understand my unique situation. Through her efforts and assertiveness, Ailie was able to ensure my wife and I reached fair and equitable ...terms. I would highly recommend Ms. Silbert.

Ailie's strong mediation skills made the divorce much smoother

My divorce was non-contentious and so I thought that I would not need a lawyer. In the end, the whole administrative process was very difficult to navigate. As a result, I hired Ailie and I don’t regret it. She was open, understanding, and supportive throughout the divorce. At a time when communicati...on with my ex-partner was challenging, Ailie’s strong mediation skills proved to be essential for making the divorce as smooth as possible. She is amazing.

Only the best

Ailie is the very best and I recommend her without any reservations. She is professional, compassionate, strategic, and reassuring—all of the things you want from a good lawyer. She let's you set the tone and the pace of your engagement and meets you where you are at, so you always feel in control of... the process. I can't recommend Ailie enough.

Avvo Rating

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.
