Great business advisor
My company has used Mr. Silverman and his team for over 10 years. He is a trusted business advisor and strategist. We appreciate his ability to view the agreements from the point of an experienced litigator. With this skill, our agreements are more defined and less likely to be challenged. This has proven invaluable over the many years!
