VICTIM RIGHTS LAW FIRM - We Fight for Victims of Sexual Assault
Brian Silber is a passionate trial attorney who specializes in fighting for victims of sexual assault. With over 20 years of experience in the courtroom, he seeks compensation and punitive damages for victims.
He began his career in 2003 as a prosecutor at the Broward County State Attorney’s Office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He served in a special unit dedicated to fighting domestic violence and as a supervisor and lead felony prosecutor. In 2006, Mr. Silber left government and entered the private sector where he focused on criminal defense and civil asset forfeiture until dedicating himself to fighting for victim rights. He is a member of the Florida Bar and over 20 federal courts across the United States.
Mr. Silber has successfully represented people from all walks of life, including judges, police officers, politicians, doctors, other lawyers, corporations, and hundreds of regular every-day people. He has handled many high-profile cases including those in the media and has been to trial over 100 times.
Mr. Silber is also a Florida Supreme Court certified mediator and has tremendous experience helping people negotiate settlements without the need for court intervention.
After many years practicing on both sides of the criminal courtroom, Mr. Silber had occasion to represent a person who was the victim of a horrendous sexual assault. The experience was so utterly moving and so personally satisfying as the lawyer, that he decided to devote his law practice to fighting for victims.
Fighting for people in crisis is something Mr. Silber has always thrived on and excelled at.
Now, his clients have the benefit of a seasoned prosecutor and a seasoned defense lawyer who truly knows the ins and outs of both sides – a skill and knowledge base that gives victims a great advantage. Not to mention, his knowledge and contacts in law enforcement have proven to be an invaluable resource for victims that wish to come forward and report what happened to them.

Takes your money and doesn’t even go to court for you. He is a financial lawyer and tried taking on my criminal case. The judge literally laughed at him. Years later I have had two lawyers and a public defender tell me my lawyer didn’t do the right thing by taking a plea. He got paid 5 grand to get m...

Dealing with Brian has been a pleasure since the first phone call. I was in an immediate legal bind, the first thing I did was jump on google and start running down the list of attorneys in my area. Of course with my luck, it was 5:30 in the afternoon and no one answered until I got ahold of Mr. S...

VERY PROFESSIONAL, RELIABLE, & HONEST. My boyfriend encountered a horrible situation in his place of business and ended up facing multiple felonies due to Dealing In Stolen Property charges. Our world collapsed after learning his charges would merit up to 35 years in prison, if convicted. At the time...
"I endorse this lawyer, Brian is an excellent attorney and does an amazing job on every case he handles."
"Brian Silver is one of the most ethical and knowledgable attorneys in his field. I have known him since law school and he has allways exceled in all he has done. I Highly endorse this attorney."
"After reviewing attorney Silber's history as well as his insightful answers to questions posted on Avvo, I believe he is a trustworthy source of legal information and experience."
"Brian Silber is an excellent attorney with impeccable character. He strives to obtain the best results for all his clients regardless of how trivial or serious the alleged offense is."
"Whenever I have a complex legal matter that I would like a second opinion on, Mr. Silber is the attorney I turn to first. His knowledge of the most current law, and his in-court ability, make him one of the best criminal defense attorneys in South Florida."
"The tenacity with which Brian approaches cases is largely unmatched in the criminal law community. Both his personal involvement in cases (often going out to crime scenes, etc, in addition to working with independent investigators), as well as his depth of knowledge and professionalism are sadly, often unmatched in our legal community. HIs candor with other attorney's is well regarded, as is the thoroughness of his work. But perhaps i can most easily say this - If I were in a situation where I needed an attorney, I would hire him."
"I have known Brian since 1999. Since becoming a lawyer, Brian has been a passionate advocate for his clients. He is a talented criminal defense attorney, equipped to handle very sophisticated matters. His tenacious work ethic combined with an almost scholarly approach to the issues makes him my choice when referring a client in need of a criminal defense attorney. I highly recommend Brian and can personally attest to his high quality of work."
"Brian is a former prosecutor and was a DUI supervisor, he is skilled, determined and effective. He communicates very well with his clients."
