Paula S. Silverstein

Ms. Silverstein and her office staff treat you like family. From my first appointment I knew I chose the right attorney to represent me. Attorney Silverstein was always available and even communicated in the evenings when the day was spent in court. She totally gets the dynamics as it relates to women and the disparity that continues to exist in the legal system. She always spoke honestly and presented the facts and her advice and counsel in a way that I always felt fully informed and comfortable. She and her staff are an extended family. I would highly recommend Ms. Silverstein without reservation!

We are so impressed with Paula's communication style. Whenever we contact her or her staff, we are always well informed of the latest updates having to deal with our case. She is honest and gives us excellent advice and always on a timely basis. She was recommended to us by a friend who guaranteed us that we would be satisfied and we are extremely pleased with th results! She is so easy to talk to, always giving us explanations in easy terms to understand. Both my husband and I have referred at least three other clients to her firm, all being very pleased with their results. I would absolutely recommend retaining Paula for your legal needs!

I hired Paula to handle the mediation portion of my divorce. Many aspects of how she handled the case impressed me. When my ex-husband and his counsel dragged their feet, purposely or not, she could motivate them to move forward. The communicattion between Paula, her paralegal, and myself was very good. Paula took time on the weekends to address my concerns, particularly if she could not contact me during the weekdays due to being in court. Paula did a great job of revising the Marriage Settlement Agreement to protect my interests. Paula is professional and personable. She showed me compassion, yet still communicated to me what was realistic and practical. I admired how she fought for my rights and a fair settlement. I made a good decision in hiring Paula Silverstein!

I decided to hire Paula to handle my divorce and child support matter. I had the immediate impression of receiving the best support in all aspects of my case. She handled herself with broad knowledge and the necessary personal compassion that was needed. Her level of utmost discretion was very much appreciated throughout the entire process. Her experienced advise and proper execution was always intended. She acknowledged the facts of pain associated with making rational decisions and supported with appropriate direction always staying on course to bring the matter to end benefitting her client.

I cannot express in words how wonderful Paula and her team of professionals were to have on my side while dealing with our custody situation. The guidance and support she provided to us was the peace of mind we needed during the stressful time. I took comfort in knowing no matter the day of week or time of day, Paula would immediately respond to my questions and concerns. Her performance in the courtroom is nothing short of mind-blowing. Paula has stuck by my family for over five years and has done nothing but provide us with excellent service! The Ilkhanoff and Silverstein firm is a part of our family because they care for us like family.

My custody case was brutal. Mediation, Conferences, Hearings, Trial, Appeals....etc. It seemed very overwhelming. In our first meeting Paula basically told me "Relax....just focus on being a good dad. You hired me to handle the legal side. Trust me, do what I ask, and you will be fine." She understood the emotional stress that went along with my custody case and helped to keep me focused. Paula and her team sifted through piles of information, conducted hours of research, and developed a strategy that ultimately led to a winning trial. I highly recommend Paula and her team for family law cases. I will certainly continue to call on her for legal advice and representation.

I used Paula as my attorney in my personal child custody case. She was such a blessing & help in this trying and at times very ugly process. Having Paula in my corner and seeing her prepare and function in the court room was amazing for certain. I would highly recommend her for any family law matters.I have used several other lawyers in the past but Paula will be the attorney that I recommend to friends and family if the need would arise.

Paula is very good at making the truth be known when the other party is trying to bring her clients down, and lying about their own conduct. She keeps you informed, lets you know what it except, and has always gotten us positive results.

Attorney Silverstein was a pleasure to work with. She was professional and attentive. The child custody case was a long, difficult road. In the end, Attorney Silverstein won the case and I was granted primary custody. Her legal acumen was above reproach and her skills in the courtroom were stellar. I would recommend Attorney Silverstein to anyone seeking excellent legal representation.

I retained lkhanoff & Silverstein for my divorce.I was so glad I had Paula as my attorney. She was always readily available and made sure that my ex-husband didn't receive a dime from me! Even though my ex dragged out my divorce for two years, she was always up-to-date on my case and information. If I had a question, I received a response that day. Paula is very knowledgeable and a master of her trade. She was very aggressive in court and passionate about winning. I'm so glad she was on my side! Going through this divorce with Paula reduced a lot of stress and saved me a lot of money. I will definitely be referring friends and family for all of their legal needs to lkhanoff & Silverstein

I engaged Paula Silverstein to represent me for my divorce and child custody case. When I walked into her ofice for my first appointment I was nervous and quite upset. Paula and her staff were quite warm and welcoming. Paula is very well versed in Pennyslvania Law and not only answered all of my questions but provided me with all the information I needed to begin the process of divorce and child custody. I felt so much better after talking with her and knew if I needed anything she was a phone call away. Paula really cares about the client and puts the client's needs first. Even when I had to contact her on a weekend she made herself available to talk to me, providing the guidance, direction and the support I needed. To date she has represented me in court five times and each time there has been a very positive outcome because she deals with only the facts and the truth. I admire her because she is a fair no-nonsense individual who does not promise to her clients unrealistic results regarding the outcome of a hearing. I have referred two of my friends to Paula in the past six months because I know she provides very consice an factual information. In regard to her staff, they are wonderful. I can't tell you how much support I have felt from her entire office. They reallly care about you as an individual. I don't ever feel like just another client. They are so professional yet caring which is exactly what an individual needs when going through such a difficult time.

Paula was knowledgeable and always able to answer my questions. Every time I would start to get anxious and worry about my case, she would remind me to relax and reassure me that she was on top of my case. After a lot of back and forth from opposing counsel, conciliation, mediation, we ended up in trial. Paula did a great job examining and cross examining my ex and his witnesses. The judges decision was in my favor.

I did not get timely responses from the office or Paula when I had urgent situations arise. She did not show me all of the evidence that was presented by the other side in court. After the hearing was over she claimed she "won" yet the other party got my child 3 out of the 4 weekends and 3 hours one day throughout the week. I had no quality time. It was a terrible situation.
