This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Reputable, responsive, does what he says.

My wife's SUV encountered way too many problems from the moment we got it. Given what we had paid for the vehicle, we got to a tipping point where enough was enough--something had to be done. I immediately knew who to call--Kimmel & Silverman, and particular Bob Silverman. Their reputation in this... area was second to none. Being an attorney myself, I knew having an attorney with the reputation that Bob and his firm had was important. You don't handle these kind of problems with professionals who merely dabble in this area. (Thus why I didn't handle this personally--I knew nothing of the practice area.) What Bob and his team were able to accomplish, in the time that they accomplished it, was simply amazing. They exceeded our expectations. Hire these professionals. You'll be happy that you did!

BEST LEMON LAW LAWYER !!!!

I hired Kimmel & Silverman after dealing with the dealership and a 3rd party which promised me money back after my car was deemed a lemon, but then heyday sent me a bill for over $1100.00. First name that appeared in google search and we’ll deserved was these guys!! They solved my problem in 24 hours... and it cost me NOTHING! But got back $6042.87 from my lemon!!!! ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!! If I had known I would have called them from day one! So should you!!! Thanks so much gentlemen!!!!

Absolutely fantastic

Absolutely fantastic service. 1. They did not promise anything at the beginning - they just explained, in detail, what are my options. 2. Very friendly and professional. Bob Silverman called me personally and discussed all the details. 3. Knowledgeable and efficient staff - they answered all ...my questions and addressed all my concerns immediately, without delay. 4. They delivered - the manufacturer bought back my car. 5. Didn't pay one penny - all their fees were paid by the car manufacturer. 6. Would I recommend them to someone else? - absolutely. They are the best.

Jeep Renegade issue

Thank you and your firm for all you did to settle my claim. Everything was handled very professionally and as quickly as possible. I just delivered the car to the dealer after receiving a full buy back of the vehicle. Hopefully, I will not have to go through this again but it's nice to know that... your firm is there to fight for the consumer. It is a very daunting task to take on a huge company with vast resources at their disposal. You made the process smooth and painless. There was little I had to do but provide you with some forms and the information on my case. I would not have gotten the same result without your help. Thank you again.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I have worked with Bob for the last 14 years and found him to be relentless in his pursuit of consumers rights and recoveries. His focus is on the clients and making sure their claims are zealously advocated for maximum recovery. His "can-do" attitude and belief that everyday is an opportunity to expand consumers rights is the driving force behind a colleague I would highly endorse."

"Bob Silverman is one of those few attorneys who has essentially created and developed a new field of law. Fortunately, Bob's creation--his lemon law practice--has benefited countless consumers not only in Pennsylvania but throughout the county. His consistent success over the years representing so many individuals is the greatest testament to his skills, but I'll gladly add my own endorsement of the same."

"Bob Silverman is truly a pioneer in the area of lemon law/breach of warranty. He has worked to advance the law to the great benefit of consumers. Due to his proven expertise, he has appeared in front page New York Times articles on lemon law and in nationally televised TV stories on lemon law issues. Bob is also one of the most tenacious negotiators on behalf of consumers that I have met in my career. I endorse Bob Silverman in the areas of lemon law and breach of warranty."

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2009.

Reciprocal - Stayed Suspension issued in PA, 2009

updated on 07/17/2014

This means that the attorney's misconduct in another state, or jurisdiction, also violated the rules for practicing law in Pennsylvania.

Robert’s comment:

“Many years ago, our former MD attorney made some very bad decisions for which I was held responsible as one of her supervising attorneys, even though these actions/inactions were admittedly hidden from myself and the firm. Long story short, we learned from this situation and now take every possible step to make certain this type of issue never happens again, just as it never happened before. I continue to devote my career to helping distressed drivers and it gives me great satisfacton to do so.”

Reciprocal - Censure issued in NY, 2009

updated on 08/03/2016

This means that the attorney's misconduct in another state, or jurisdiction, also violated the rules for practicing law in New York.

Robert’s comment:

“Since 1991, my entire practice has been devoted to helping consumers do battle against car manufacturers. I have never been suspended in any State in which I am licensed. However, in Maryland, a State in which I never even practiced law, I was indeed suspended for 90 days for the actions/inactions of my then associate attorney. (continued below)”

Reprimanded issued in NJ, 2004

updated on 12/11/2014

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Robert’s comment:

“In 2001, one of my associates made a mistake and filed suit without first advising the defendant she had the right to resolve the dispute before the Fee Dispute Committee. As his supervisor, I was reprimanded for such action taken.”
