Terry Silverman review

I have known Terry for more decades than I care to admit. He has helped me with great success each time I needed his services. The most important case was an appeal in which he was successful. He has been excellent at finding the precedent needed to make my case and he treats me like I am his most im...portant client (even though I'm not).. I have also received excellent advice when a compromise is needed even though my reflex is not to do that. Between my business and my wife's we have used Terry as our attorney in at least 6 cases and they all had good outcomes. I am very comfortable when I place my case in his hands and have never been disappointed which also makes me happy to recommend him.

Highly competent attorney

I am a Florida business woman who, along with my husband (a business owner), has used Mr. Silverman for various business and personal legal issues for several years. I found him to be extremely competent, very effective and also very communicative with me as a client, keeping me informed on every as...pect of my various cases. Mr. Silverman exceeded my expectations on every level, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Legal situations can be very stressful, but Mr. Silverman maintains control of the situation, handling every detail competently and professionally. I have complete confidence in having him represent me in any situation, and I have recommended him to several colleagues when they are in need of legal representation.

The Swamp Restaurant's Go To Attorney

As the owner of The Swamp Restaurant, I highly recommend Terry Silverman for any and all legal needs. He has been my attorney for 35 plus years and has always proved to be honest, dependable, straightforward and timely. I have used his services for a variety of legal matters for both my personal and ...professional needs. Terry is qualified, experienced and courteous and most importantly produces results. Terry has done great things for me. I highly recommend him!

  • 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.
