Exceptional Custody Attorney – A True Advocate for Families!

I cannot express my gratitude enough for the outstanding legal support provided by Silis and Associates during my recent custody case. From the moment I walked into his office, I felt a sense of reassurance and confidence that I was in capable hands. Moreover, Attorney Thomas Silis demonstrated unpa...ralleled courtroom skills during the hearings. His confidence, knowledge of the law, and persuasive arguments were truly impressive. Thanks to his expertise, I achieved a favorable outcome in my custody case, allowing me to build a brighter future for my family. I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Thomas Silis to anyone in need of a top-notch custody attorney. If you’re looking for a legal champion who combines expertise with genuine compassion, look no further. I am forever grateful for his exceptional representation and unwavering support during this challenging time. .

Reliable, Honest, Professional, Compassionate

If you need an attorney, then hire Silis & Associates! Tom represented me in a family law matter, and I could not have been more pleased with him and his entire staff and the results they delivered. With any attorney, you worry (or at least I did) with whether they would overbill you, actually liste...n to your needs, call you back, and give you the right advice. We don’t usually hire attorneys for easy situations, so picking the right attorney is crucial. I’ve known people who hired an attorney that would give them the kind of advice to keep the case from settling, so they could increase their fees. That was not Tom at all. Tom and his entire team listened to my (many) needs, responded to every call or email, understood what was important for me, and gave me the right advice, and was extremely fair and completely transparent in all billing matters. He and his staff always answered the phone when I called or called me back very promptly (which is not something I can say about other attorneys I or people I know have dealt with). He never made the matter worse (which is also something attorneys can do). And most notably, I respect Tom and his team for their absolute professionalism – with me, with the court, and with the other party. I was proud to have Tom stand by and represent me in court. He never overpromised and kept me fully appraised of my options to help me make the right decision. And we did. I felt like (and still do) a valued client. I am extremely happy with my results and highly – highly - recommend Silis & Associates!

Would highly recommend

I cannot be more grateful that I hired Mr. Silis and his team for my complex case. Mr. Silis and associates are extremely thorough and provided sound detailed advice throughout the entire process. Mr. Silis was clearly more prepared than the opposing counsel and aggressively fought until justice was ...served. I would certainly recommend Mr. Silis to all of my friends and family.
