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.

highly recommend

I was researching lawyers for my prenup and a friend recommended me to Ailie Silbert. I found it reassuring that she is on the board of the family and divorce mediation counsel. I went into my prenup process pretty clueless. Ailie was very informative and educated me on the matter. She helped me d...elicately broach the prenup topic with my partner. The prenup got contentious at times between my partner and I. Ailie held my hand during these challenging times. She was consummate professional despite dealing with the inappropriate demands of the opposing counsel. Most importantly, she tactfully advocated for the terms I needed. I would highly recommend her. My wife & I are happily married as of this past Friday.

Best divorce attorney

Ailie made a very difficult situation as easy as possible. We only had to meet once in person to discuss everything and approximately 1 month later the papers were ready to be signed and filed. She was very efficient and professional. She kept me in the loop with all of the progress with the papers a...nd the final judgements. Ailie also happens to be very compassionate and caring, and has a lot of experience with every kind of situation. Since she is a divorce expert she has the most up to date information on the current laws and practices. Would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

Unreserved recommendation - five stars

My ex-wife and I were both extremely impressed with Ms. Silbert's handling of our recent uncontested divorce. She not only navigated us smoothly thru the entire process - demonstrating exceptional professionalism and tact throughout - but also clearly possesses a quite genuine concern for her clients.... Ms. Silbert is exceptionally well-suited to her work.

Compassionate and effective attorney

Ms. Silbert represented me in an uncontested divorce. She was attentive, explained things well, and understood and supported my desire to have everything smooth and amicable. Though I'm guessing no divorce is pleasant, I felt very comfortable that Ms. Silbert represented my interests competently, e...fficiently and ethically. My ex-husband was also appreciative of how she handled our process. I highly recommend Ms. Silbert.

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.
