Divorce matters

I hired Lawyer Daniel Silver to legally represent me in my divorce with my ex-husband , Mr. Daniel was very professional all the time and efficient from the first day I spoke to him over the phone. He was very consistent in what my case was going to be completely resolved and that he was going to do ...everything possible so that my child had the benefits that he was entitled to by law. My ex-husband was making everything very difficult in this case. After a year I'm finally divorced and happy with the methods and resolutions that were taken during the process and at the end of the process. I want directly thank Mr. Daniel and that he has all my gratitude and that he is a great professional. Thank you so much for everything we did together. With my eye closed I recommend Mr. Daniel as a lawyer. God bless you and your team. Thank you all.

Superb Family Law Attorney - Very Skilled and Very Ethical

Dan Silver of the PRADA Law Firm represented me in my divorce proceedings and won my trial against a very difficult and unscrupulous opposing counsel. I was referred to Mr. Silver by several highly esteemed attorneys who all said that he was my best choice for representation. Mr. Silver was al...ways available and consistently provided sound legal advice. He has an excellent team and they were very supportive support in my case. As we began to work together, I learned that Mr. Silver is well known for settling cases. This is in stark contrast to other family attorneys who advocate a long drawn out (expensive…) process. Because our opposing counsel was extremely difficult, with no scruples and still getting paid… Our proceedings took two years before a final judgment was entered. Mr. Silver is levelheaded and has a very clear/extensive knowledge of family law. Of note, he is a good listener He knows how to keep his clients out of trouble and is consistently the voice of reason, with his clients, other attorneys and in the courtroom with the family Circuit Court Judges. Now that we are living in a world of COVID with remote zoom hearings and trials, it is important to have an attorney and team who are tech savvy and comfortable with this electronic format. After working with Mr. Silver’s firm for short period of time I was pleased to learn that he and his staff are very familiar with technology, and they have the ability to utilize it well when it counts the most, at hearings and trials. I have nothing but great things to say about Mr. Silver and his superb representation. If there was any way to give him a higher recommendation than the very best, I would certainly do so. If you’re hoping for a good result and prefer to work with someone who is reasonable, levelheaded and ethical, Dan Silver and the PRADA Law Firm should be at the very top of the list.

Integrity, Smarts and Resourcefulness

Mr. Silver's name came to me through the recommendation of a trusted lawyer friend after I had dismissed the first law firm that seemed intent on a strategy that would be long, expensive and contentious. On the other hand, Daniel fought hard on those issues where the law was both clear and favorable... to this case and he resisted the temptation to make laborious but dubious attempts to win on every minor point. He counseled clearly on each issue concerning the division of assets by weighing his estimate of what the incremental legal costs would be against the chances of winning that specific issue. This is the integrity that clients look for in lawyers and all professionals. Daniel counseled strongly against retaliating in kind when facing harassments, instead sticking to the factual arguments and probabilities, always discounting the emotional in favor of the rational. This led to positive legal, financial and personal outcomes. Daniel had a strong knowledge of business law and contracts, which aided greatly in finding strategies to operate my business successfully under the strict guidelines imposed by status quo laws. I believe a big part of success in any profession is having the personal skills and contacts to know whom to hire when you need the assistance of other professional firms. Daniel's firm, Gautier & Hasty, picked an exceptional forensic accountant and gave showed great judgment on the choice of the mediator. Overall, the team Daniel put together gave me (and I suspect the opposing counsel) the confidence that our arguments would be very strong in court and well respected by the judge. In the end, this edge was what we needed to compel the other party into a successful mediated agreement and avoid court altogether.

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.

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."

"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."
