Have faith on your attorney

While no other attorney wanted to take my case, Mr. Daniel Silver did. He exceeded my expectations and a year later we were successful and settle a brutal litigation.

Posted by Carlo | August 30, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Litigation

A case which seemed like pushing a boulder up hill, Dan came in and was able to come to a perfect resolution

I had a very tough child custody case which seemed impossible to win or come to an agreement on. Dan had been referred to me by a previous client who also had great results with Dan and team so I decided to hire him. From the moment of the initial consultation and point of being hired Dan was all ove...r it. Dan got caught up with all the details of my case within a few days and within days he had an emergency order prepared, filed and an appearance date. It took several more motions and petitions until we finally came to an agreement with the opposing party but Dan was able to settle the case. A a few thing I will say about Dan, he will always answer your call or call you back immediately, he will treat your case with upmost diligence and will never leave you wondering where you are in the case. Once last thing I have to say about Dan which I cant say about other attorneys is that Dan has such a personable attitude and does not try and rush you through conversations and makes you feel more like a friend and not a lawyer. If you have a tough case or even an easy one I would highly recommend Dan Silver, he helped me during my toughest moments and always gave me the next game plan to make me feel better.

My attorney through my paternity case

Dan is a great attorney, excellent mediator, deposer and litigator. He guided me through the difficult process of a paternity case and post judgement. He mediated until the point we had to litigate and when he litigated he was amazing. His arguments were logical and to the point. The judgement was fa...ir and exactly as he advised me. I still retain him as counsel for any unforeseen events that might occur. A++++++.

He fought for me when my previous attorney would not.

When I was locked out of my home by my spouse and it was time to begin the process of ending our marriage; I did not hire Dan. Rather I did what everyone says to do. I hired one of the best lawyers in Miami-Dade County. It was a complete mistake. They were too busy with higher profile clients the...n I. My divorce floundered. As a result, during which, I found myself having to close my business, and being pushed into a settlement that was far and away to my severe detriment. In a heated exchange with my previous attorney he suggested I find other counsel, to which I did. Daniel Silver and everyone at Gautier & Hasty turned my situation around. This time when we were ordered to proceed to mediation and then, ultimately to trial. Daniel was able to rightfully present my case and turn my whole situation around. I got double what I was offered at the original mediation and the final judgment rendered was far and away more than anything I could have hoped for from before. The best part – Daniel and everybody at Gautier & Hasty stood for me, by me, and with every step of the way. They fought for me. I now can start rebuilding my life over on a far better footing then what was imaginable with my previous attorneys. The mere words “thank you,” simply do not begin to cover it.

Daniel Silver is a new generation of lawyers that are skilled in information technology.

Daniel Silver assisted me with downward modification of child support. I highly recommend him. He is a very skilled lawyer with a solid understanding of present technology. He uses the internet, modern devices, and software to accelerate court filings, research cases, confirm findings, and communic...ate with others in a much faster way than most. This allows him to keep cost lower while being very effective and accurate. Any lawyer can present your case to court, but the process is a lot smoother when you and your lawyer are on the same page and agree with each other. I didn’t have to point this out to Mr. Silver. He told me within 5 minutes of my initial consultation. As soon as I agreed to have him represent me, he didn’t waste time and started filing papers electronically with the courts. I was surprised and very pleased to see him move my case forward as quickly as possible. At times the opposing council seemed to be delaying the case. Right away, Mr. Silver filed more papers and scheduled court hearings to get opposing council to cooperate timely. My case could have taken much longer if Mr. Silver didn’t aggressively represent me from start to finish. Mr. Silver contacted opposing council several times during my case. He always kept me informed of all communications. I received email copies, scanned attachments, and prompt phone calls of every conversation he had with opposing council. He quickly returned all my calls and replied to any emails. Communication with Mr. Silver was superb and very transparent. No hidden talks or private chats with opposing council. They talked and I was informed. Throughout my case, Mr. Silver presented me with counter offers from opposing council. He made sure I had time to review the offers and always honored my final decision. He went back and forth as many times needed until we reached an agreement. He always made sure I was pleased with the outcome and also with his hard work and efforts. While he negotiated frequently and aggressively he was very cautious of the legal expenses. He did everything he could to keep my cost low. He advised me when my legal choices could exceed reasonable legal fees and offered cheaper alternatives such as in-house mediation instead of private mediation. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case. Equally so, I’m impressed with Mr. Silver’s legal representation and very surprised how he used technology to lower my legal expenses.

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."
