Professional, empathetic, fair-minded, and extremely effective.

Beth Silverman exceeded my expectations in every way as my lawyer. She expertly guided me through a divorce and then years later with development of a prenuptial agreement when I got remarried. Beth is the utmost professional and knows the law inside and out. More importantly, she showed empathy d...uring this very difficult time in my life. She was very fair-minded and respectfully "reeled me back in" when my emotions got the better of me. Beth's abilities as a lawyer and as a wonderful human being are matched by none. Beth effectively allowed me (the father) to gain custody of my 2 children when there well-being was in danger and then to work toward shared-custody down the road when things settled down. I strongly endorse Beth and her staff without reservation. She is simply the best - on all fronts.

Trusted, rock solid legal advisor

Beth has been and continues to be my trusted, rock-solid legal advisor, who has guided me through a challenging divorce. She provides a wealth of practical experience and is effective at coming up with alternative solutions that suit both parties well. I am extremely satisfied with Beth's overall c...ommitment to my case and high ethical standards. I highly recommended Beth and staff.

Review by Fred Craig. Client of Beth Silverman

Beth Silverman negotiated a relatively complex divorce for me. She shows significant Insights, both emotional and technical in nature. She seeks to clearly understand the issues in the divorce and the objectives of the person she is representing. Beth worked diligently to bring the proceedings to c...losure with the right amount of counsel and pressure to come to a common settlement. She understands financial matters very well. She made creative recommendations and was very clear in responding to questions. She is a strategic negotiator, looking at finding a reasonable common ground for me. She provided outside resources needed for some special analysis and recommended a final mediation to conclude the negotiations. Beth was very knowledgeable about complex tax and legal issues that were prevalent in my divorce. She was combative when needed but maintained a very collegiate atmosphere with me and with opposing counsel. Beth has an excellent reputation with other members of the Collaborative. Beth was recommended to me by two other friends who had retained her. She exceeded every expectation that I had. Several years after my divorce, I am very thankful for what she negotiated on my behalf. She also talked me off the ledge a few times and helped me keep my composure during the negotiation process. She is an excellent attorney and a pleasure to work with under difficult circumstances. She tried to bring closure to open items and did not drag the negotiations out or prolong meetings. She carefully managed the fee and billing efforts. I can strongly recommend Beth.

Absolutely the Best!

Beth Silverman's skills, expertise, and personality were instrumental in getting my uncooperative (and difficult) spouse to participate in the dissolution of our marriage through the collaborative process, which saved us both heartache and money. With professionalism, yet compassion, she guided me p...atiently through this separation, always listening and considering my wishes with every action. I found great comfort and reassurance in her exemplary communication skills. She would answer any call or email within the day and always kept me updated on the progress being made. I am still in awe that our difficult divorce was finalized within a short 6 month time frame and fully know it is due to Beth Silverman's expert counsel!

Excellent attorney, skilled and caring

Ms Silverman was my attorney during my recent dissolution. I found her to be extremely capable and knowledgeable and also kind and empathetic, too. I did not know my rights or what needed to be done and would have made serious mistakes, but she took me through the process step by step. She explained ...everything, but did not pressure me, letting me make up my own mind about decisions concerning my future. Additionally, her encouragement and support of me personally as I went through this process was very helpful and much appreciated. I feel very fortunate to have had her as my attorney for her expertise and her understanding.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Feb 11

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I recently brought a major professional malpractice claim against another lawyer that involved domestic relations. I relied heavily upon Beth Silverman, as well as the other lawyers in her firm, as my expert witnesses in this complex matter. Because of all this exceedingly competent input, the matter resolved without trial. Without this skilled lawyering I would not have been able to obtain such a significant result."
