Review of Richard F Silber

Richard F Silber is not only an attorney but a caring person who handled my case with professionalism every step of the way. He is honest and will keep you informed about what is happening in your case. I worked with Richard for over 4 years as my case involved a lot of research and time. He values h...is clients opinions and is very knowledgeable. I feel that as long and detailed as my case was, Richard never gave less than 100%. I would recommend Richard Silber for your case. He is experienced in many areas, not just personal injury cases.

  • 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.
