Trusted Advisor

Doug has been a trusted advisor for my family in our time of need and sorrow. He has been a compassionate guide in helping us navigate the estate and will process, which can be confusing at times. We are grateful that we had him during this process and appreciate the work he did.

Client

Before we ( Mom & I ) even used Mr. Silvis- I called him fo advice about a power of attorney- he took his time with me, explained everything that I might need to know- we set up a meeting w/ him & he was so very professional & personable- again explained all we needed to know about our situation- whe...n the meeting was over & we were about to leave, he asked if he could pray with us ( for us). Mr. Silvis & Ms. Shelia ( his asst.) have gone above and beyond what we ever expected- we love them & will use him again for our personal wills & such

Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Healthcare Directives

Thank you for making this process move along so well. We dug in our heels for a long time about doing what we knew was necessary and you made it so easy. We had started updating our wills using well-rated PC software about three years ago. I got quite a lot done but had too many concerns about pot...ential issues. You clarified so many areas and made the entire process very comfortable. Thank you again for everything. To those who are looking for a good attorney, you will have a great one if you choose Mr. Silvis. He and his staff are very professional while being down-to-earth people.

Appreciation review

Today I write to praise my attorney Doug Silvis. He has been my attorney for over 25 years. He has provided valuable representation in a number of different circumstances. He has helped and guided me in the building and growth of two successful businesses. All aspects of assistance for these compan...ies were needed; from corporate establishment to mergers and partner relations to secession planning. Doug has been a friend and helped our family through several difficult situations. He is a community leader and a strong Christian. Additionally, he supports many local charities and organizations. I would recommend him. Thank you. Darlene

Top Notch Firm

My husband and I used this firm to help with the purchase of a home from the estate of a deceased individual. Since we did not go through a realtor to purchase the home, Mr. Silvis and his partners and employees provided the proposed contract for the purchase of the home. They worked in a timely mann...er with our lender, searched and prepared deeds and performed all the other legal duties and kept us informed throughout every step of the process. Mr. Silvis is professional, yet friendly. Prior to meeting Mr. Silvis in person, both my husband and I communicated with him several times by phone. We felt that we had become not only first- time clients, but also friends. Mr. Silvis was quick to provide us with "same day" answers for all our questions.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
