Disappointing

Although Mr. Silver was highly recommended, he was not what I was expecting from a family law attorney. Because I was not a high paying client I was treated as such by him and his firm PRADA LAW. Communicating with him was extremely difficult. This comment was event made in writing by opposing coun...sel and an expert that we hired for my case. Because of his lack of response and communication with my expert and opposing counsel I threw thousands of dollars down the drain. During mediation he had agreed to terms that in hindsight are ridiculous with the promise that I would be done shortly after and it took an additional 2 years, 10's of thousands of dollars and different attorney to finalize a simple divorce. Him and his co-counsel on PRADA LAW advice me to withhold attorney's fees payment to opposing counsel that later not only was unethical but cost me additional fees to both him and opposing counsel. At hearings he would not be prepared and would talk or refer to my case with information from other cases. He would only prepare 5 min prior to any hearing to then give poor representation. After my mediation I settled the billed with the him and PRADA LAW for him to only drag and allow opposing counsel to drag this with unnecessary litigation with issues that had no legal relevance whatsoever yet incur in billable hours. Mr. Silver most common response to my concerns would be "just through more money at them and this will be over". I am an Army Veteran and civil servant and I don't have that luxury. I'm in extreme debt and more of that because of bad counsel. Mr. Silver and PRADA LAW have cost me after mediation an additional $5k on fees with them to do absolutely NOTHING after mediation, $2,500 on an vocational expert who could not get him to return email or calls and since he didn't properly notify opposing counsel, I could not use so I wasted all that money. In addition, to legal fees to my new counsel that only took her 4 months to stop the nonsense from opposing counsel but to stop further delays on a matter that lasted 3 years. Now PRADA LAW and Mr. Silver have placed a LIEN on me for doing absolutely nothing, Yes, PRADA LAW was charging me low rate for which I was grateful but it was all wasted because I was treated as such, as a low paying client. He had no knowledge on Army or Federal retirement system and I hired all the necessary experts to protect my benefits and make his job easier, still he could not only not understand it but dismiss me at every turn. I have also found myself in position where he would constantly canceled either hearings or discussion meetings for my case because of personal matters, and I understand life happens but I did not receive the same consideration. As I escalate this and other matters to the proper entities, I encourage others to be careful. The one thing PRADA LAW is good with harassing you with billing, that was a guarantee of actual contact and attention from them. Again, truly disappointing and hurtful, a clear case of misrepresentation!

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"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."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
