About Daniel
Biography
Daniel diligently prepares cases to advocate for his clients rights by blending his investigative background from his criminal law experience with his knowledge of family and marital law. Daniel has been a good-standing member of the Florida Bar since October, 2003 and is also licensed in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida. Daniel graduated from the University of Miami School of Law in 2003, cum laude, and earned his B.B.A. from the University of Miami School of Business in 2000, cum laude. After being admitted to the Florida Bar, from 2004-2008 Daniel practiced criminal defense in both state and federal court at an AV-Rated firm handling complex, white-collar, newsworthy criminal cases. Thereafter, he has been exclusively practicing marital and family law since 2008, gaining experience at AV-Rated firms before becoming the Senior Family Attorney at Nest Law. Daniel is a past president of the First Family Law Inns of Court and served on the Board of Directors. He is a member of the National Association of Distinguished Counsel.

Eye opener

Highly recommended - great experience
Going through my divorce in 2011 I was referred to Bill Gautier of Gautier and Hasty and hired him to guide me through this horrible time of my life. During this time, I got to work with two of the best attorneys, Daniel Silver and Bill Gautier, throughout this process. This recommendation is for...

Very nice, helpful and knowledgeable
I called Mr. Silver office for a free consultation, because I was needing help with time-sharing issue. After speaking with him I was way more comfortable and more at ease in what I needed to do about getting a parenting plan. Mr. Silver was very knowledgeable about family law and had a lot of great ...

You want the best? You found it!
Although all matters revolving children are each complicated in their own unique ways, our case is a shining example of the complexity of cases this team is capable of handling! When Daniel began working on my case, it was to ensure the protection of our (at the time) nonverbal 18-month old toddler...
Daniel Silver's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. In my experience, Daniel Silver is a highly ethical, motivated and efficient attorney who represents his clients with zeal, always looking out for their best interests. Mr. Silver’s knowledge of the law and courtroom skills exemplify the level of professionalism that all family attorneys should aspire to."
"Dan has an incredible work ethic and an unwavering dedication to his clients. He is an experienced trial lawyer with a proven track record. It is my pleasure to endorse Dan."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Silver is an excellent attorney, he is zealous, effective and always puts his client's best interest first."
"Daniel is a knowledgeable attorney and zealous advocate for his clients. He is an exceptional attorney and well-respected by his peers. Daniel is not only compassionate but also an aggressive advocate that seeks the best results for his clients. I refer family law clients to him with confidence!"
"I endorse this lawyer. Daniel is a strategic, calculated, and knowledgeable attorney who is highly effective and zealous in representing his clients. Until the next case, Daniel!"
"Dan is an excellent attorney practicing in the area of family law. I have referred several clients to Dan over the past few years and he has at all times done a great job. Dan is extremely knowledgeable and is well respected within the legal community. I strongly endorse Dan Silver."
"I have come to know Daniel over the past several years as an excellent attorney who focuses his work on family law matters. I refer clients to him regularly because I trust Daniel with their cases without question. He is both competent and kind in an area of the law that many times lack those qualities from those who practice within it."
"Daniel is an excellent and attentive attorney who I strongly endorse."
"I have known Dan Silver since he was a law student at "the U". He part-time clerked with me for about a year and a half during his law school studies and was neither ever satisfied with being a clerk nor should he have been. To this day, almost 15 years later Dan continues to exhibit the finest qualities that a lawyer can demonstrate: commitment, dedication, passion, zeal, a solid ethical compass and a all are rooted in a concrete foundation of caring and diligence. I selfishly wish that his heart compelled him to remain in the criminal defense industry (such that we could have continued to litigate various crimes cases together) but I am happy for him (and his clients) that he found his niche in the family arena. If you retain Dan Silver to assist you in your unfortunate domestic dilemmas then you can (and should) sleep well at night. I wholeheartedly endorse Dan Silver."
"I endorse Daniel Silver. Family law has become a very complex area with many new changes. Divorces and custodial issues require a strong and aggressive advocate. Mr. Silver has the experience necessary to handle any problem you may be facing. Unfortunately, many family related legal issues these days have a domestic violence component. Mr. Silver has experience in criminal defense and that separates him from other lawyers. If you need a lawyer to represent you who knows his way around a courtroom, put Mr. Silver on your side."
"I would recommend Dan Silver to anyone looking for family law advice in South Florida. Dan is knowledgeable and proficient in his practice area. Whenever I have a question about family law, Dan is my to-to guy. Anyone looking for a family law attorney in South Florida would be wise to hire Dan Silver."
"Daniel is a highly competent attorney. He is professional, caring and a wonderful colleague. Any client would be lucky to have Daniel represent him or her."
"Daniel is a very knowledgeable and energetic attorney passionately dedicated to his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Silver is a detail oriented attorney with a passion for helping his clients. A true advocate."
