Disappointed in the services my family received, he was a monster

This lawyer is a joke, he's angry and unprofessional. It was as if he was working for the DA! Do yourself and your love one a big favor and run from him as fast as you can. He became my families worst nightmare. DO NOT HAVE HIM AS YOUR LAWYER< HE DOES NOT CARE NO EMPATHY!!!!!!

Excellent legal advice for business contract

Hiring Alex might have been the best decision that I've made over the past five years. He single handedly reviewed, explained and negotiated my partnership agreement. In a situation that that sometimes could be tenuous, Alex showed the finesse of an expert in his field. He listened to my concerns,... informed me of potential issues with the contract, then formed a plan of attack to protect my best interests. Alex then began a formal discussion with the Group and represented me in the best light possible. When it was all said and done Alex made this process easy, stress free and secured my future. His confident yet humble nature made this an enjoyable experience. I recommend him without a doubt.

Trusted attorney for my family trust

I needed an attorney to help with my family estate and was recommended Alex Silow. ​My brother was about to inherit money from our grandmother, which would have interfered with his ability to continue to receive his social security disability check. My brother is mentally ill and incapable of managin...g his own finances. At present, I take care of his finances. ​Alex reviewed our situation and needs and advised me that a Special Needs Trust was necessary. This type of trust would enable my brother to retain his benefits which can be used for special needs other than rent and food such as dental, medical bills, clothing and travel. ​I developed trust in Alex's advice and also asked him to act as the Co-Trustee with me on the Trust. I needed the peace of mind that if I die first, someone will help my brother with his finances. Alex is very compassionate and bright and I trust him with my family's finances. Ellen

The best!

Alex supported my case when I was injured in a car accident a few years ago. In my experience working with Alex, he proved himself to be a consummate professional, competent, and reliable. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable, but Alex also took the time to make sure I was thoroughly informed of m...y rights, responsibilities, and options. He treated me like family and without hesitation I would recommend him time and time again. Don't go anywhere else!

THANK YOU!

Alex represented one of my key employees. Due to Alex's diligence, work release was granted and we were able to maintain continuity at our business. He was efficient and caring.

  • 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.
