Beth came into my collaborative divorce after talks had basically stalled to a halt. She was able to gather the information from my original lawyer, reach out to my former spouse's attorney to become acquainted and get up to speed on our case in record time. Negotiations resumed quickly and in an ext...remely organized fashion. Each meeting had goals and purpose and she was incredibly skilled at keeping emotions at bay as we dealt with the trickiest aspects of the divorce. She not only won me over with her competence and calm demeanor but I could tell she was also very effective with my former spouse in her explanations to where he felt things were being handled in a reasonable fashion. After we finalized things in court she sat with me to make sure I understood all next steps in moving forward. Since our divorce, Beth has been both a sounding board and resource when I have run into situations we had not covered in our "Parenting Plan". She has given sage council on resources to involve and further insight into how agreements can change and be amended over time. I would not hesitate in referring someone to Beth. They will receive genuine concern, incredible insight and a very capable guide through a tough process.

While I don't believe my divorce was particularly difficult or contentious, I am grateful to have had Beth at my side throughout the process. Beth effectively guided me to creating reasonable expectations, and we worked as a team to an equitable outcome. There were no surprises throughout the proce...ss, largely because of Beth’s experience enabled her to accurately anticipate. Beth was more than prepared for every meeting, however she also worked hard to ensure I was ready for multiple potential outcomes. I felt that Beth was cognizant of her fees and she worked expeditiously leveraging her team when appropriate. However, I never felt that Beth was rushed and she was incredibly responsive to any of my calls/e-mails. I would enthusiastically recommend Beth should anyone have to enter the difficult path of divorce.

My experience heading into divorce is not an usual one. I was scared, nervous, and so hurt that my marriage had failed. I, like many housewives, stayed home to raise four kids and allowed my husband to take care of the finances. (Foolish on my part). So, going into a collaborative agreement was frig...htening. Beth was so patient, knowledgeable, and listened. She truly can get to the heart of things very quickly. What I found so unique about Beth , was as insightful as she is about people, she is also about the law and process. She did not miss a beat. She was ahead of the game the majority of the time. She would be the first one to get things going when things seem to stall out. She gave me the best actions and responses to take to my then husband to create a peaceful conversation. Our divorce has been final for several months. I am so thankful that I had Beth for a great settlement and mostly that I have an amicable relationship with my ex. She created a peaceful and unemotional environment to allow us to move through the process maturely. I will always recommend her as the best attorney. But, I am now glad to call her my friend.

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!
