Scott prepared our wills and estate documents. He was extremely knowledgeable, explaining the process/documents and answering all our questions along the way. We would highly recommend him!
Our family needed help with the extremely complicated and overwhelming process of applying for Medicaid when my mother-in-law needed a nursing home. Scott and the entire staff were receptive, responsive, and accepted about 1000 pages of documents that I just dropped at their office. They sorted it and navigated the process with a perfect outcome. Since I was so confused it was apparent that any information I was giving them would also be confusing. They cut right through all of it. Scott was always available and ready to provide accurate information and guidance with any question I had regardless of its pertinence to Medicaid. They applied and gained approval for us in record time. I would highly recommend and would never use any other firm. They are a true asset. Thank you Scott and everyone else at the practice.

Very helpful for estate planning
Scott was very helpful and thorough explaining all documents to us and walking us through the process of setting up our Living Will, health care proxy, and power of attorney. Highly recommended for an easy process and discussion for all estate planning.

Excellent!
Scott prepared our wills and estate planning documents and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful - guiding us through the process step by step. Never having gone through the process before, he was able to explain everything and ensure we were comfortable and knew exactly what was going on. As parents with young kids, it was so nice to have someone so friendly and helpful walk us through what could have been a very stressful process. Would highly recommend!

Great professional lawyer!!!
I hired Scott twice to handle complex elder care issues. Mr. Silverberg and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with and we continue to have an on-going relationship to comply with various statutes. Scott is extremely responsive, great attention to detail, and has proven results. I recommend his services with the utmost satisfaction.

Great help for my small business!
Scott helped me form my business! He was very knowledgeable about all aspects of getting a business started. He was incredibly helpful and got me through the first stages of getting my business off the ground. He also helped me with my estate planning, which is a huge weight off my shoulders with my young family.
