The full package attorney

I was very particular in who I chose as an attorney in my collaborative divorce because I wanted a woman who was smart and a feminist, who was kind and efficient, who would help me understand things I did not understand and would competently get me the best deal possible in a terrain that was foreign... to me. Beth met all those requirements and then some. I counted her almost as a friend by the time we were finished. She was personable, strong, warm, and most importantly, very capable. I could relax knowing she was reviewing and cross-reviewing every single thing that crossed her desk, working weekends, evenings... returning emails and calls promptly. I trusted her. That means a lot in this process. This is not easy emotionally, but Beth helps you feel that, in the end, not only are you going to be okay but that you actually are okay. You got what you needed. I highly recommend her services. She will be your staunch ally and defender. She knows what she's doing. And you will end up feeling whole because she gets you there.

Intelligent, Diligent, & The Voice of Reason

Beth's intelligence, vast experience, diligence and style make for an unparalleled winning combination. Beth took lead from the beginning in a complicated divorce from both a financial and emotional standpoint. Beth was able to bring facts and potential future scenarios to light using a calm, collabo...rative approach in an environment where both my husband and his lawyer continued to create noise. Beth led the research, discussion and follow-up with all parties including the court and financial institutions. Beth did all this while focused on an equitable settlement for both parties and while developing a strong, caring relationship with me. I could not imagine using any other counsel.

Trusted, Caring, Exceptional

I am so lucky to have found Beth Silverman to guide me through my divorce. She is extremely thorough, knowledgeable and committed to her clients. Through the entire process she was responsive and caring. She always listened to my concerns and made me feel confident in the outcome. I highly recomm...end Beth.

Superb Family Law/Collaborative Attorney

Superb lawyer in family law! I've been her client for 7 years. She helped guide me through the stressful time of divorce with compassion, support, and (when needed) tough love. Also helped me through other issues as they arose throughout the years. Very fair, open dialogue, prompt, flexible. I always... felt extremely well represented. I've recommended her to several other people. Superb at navigating the collaborative workings of divorce and dispute. Skilled in tackling tougher subjects and showing respect for everyone involved. In addition, she is just one of those very good people in the world! I highly recommend her without reservation.

My review of Family Law Attorney Beth Silverman

I reside in California and my ex-husband was a resident in Ohio and filed for divorce. I had no choice but to obtain an attorney in Ohio. After much research, I called Beth Silverman. Within thirty minutes of our phone conversation it was clear Beth was who I needed to represent me during this unexp...ected and difficult time. When my marriage was ending, it was tremendously difficult to deal with both the emotional trauma and fears about how my life would go on after the divorce. The legal guidelines surrounding my situation led to more concerns. There are a number of reasons I chose Beth. It was important to me that someone who I hired specialized in family law. She has practiced for over 34 years and is an expert in family law. Beth earned the distinction from her peers as an Ohio Super Lawyer in family law every year since the list has been published in Cincinnati Magazine. Her law firm has been recognized by U.S. News and World Report and Best Lawyers ranking as one of the “best law firms” in the country. Her firm also received a “Best Lawyers” regional Tier 1 ranking in Family Law for the Cincinnati metropolitan area. Her accomplishments and successes speak for themselves. I quickly understood all the reasons she received her outstanding peer rankings. Beth knows how to communicate to the opposing side and the Judge respectively and clearly. She’s also empathetic, trusting and took great care in getting me through all the points I was up against in a composed and easy to follow manner. She's reachable. If I had a question or concern and left a voice or email she would return my call the same or next day without failure. Last but not least, Beth is an accomplished and skillful lawyer. I’m now on the other side and I couldn’t imagine going through this experience with anyone else. The outcome was more than I expected. Beth never missed a beat!

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."
