Great Experience

I contacted Sam after being denied SS. He handled everything professionally from the start. Anytime I callled about questions, he was always very prompt. He also explained everything very well through the whole process.

100% This is the guy you need

As a disabled vet, I wanted to make sure I hired someone with experience working with vets and someone that came highly recommended. Sam is both. I read many reviews on disability attorneys in my area and Sam Silvermans name kept coming up and his reviews were the best, so I decided to call him and i...t was the best decision I could have made. He called me back the same day and discussed my case with me. I then met him at his office a few days later and I couldn’t have been more impressed. By the time I walked out that day, we had already come to an agreement for service and he electronically filed my appeal. Everything he explained to me as the process and what to expect was 100% accurate. He told me what he needed, I provided it to him and he took care of everything. He was able to get me an expedited hearing as a wounded warrior, which meant I was sitting in front of the administrative law judge who was hearing my case, less than six months after I contacted him, which by social security standards is extremely quick! I can’t stress this enough, that what Sam told me and prepared me for could not have been more accurate as to how it went from the first phone call to the last. Every single time I made a call to Sams office, he himself called me back by the end of the day, and having dealt with many attorneys in the past, that is not the norm. (I have to schedule phone calls with my VA attorney, and that’s just to speak to my claims developer.) Sams office is nothing, if not professional and honest. Leading up to my hearing with the judge, Sam gave me a rundown of how the hearing would go and the types of things I’d be asked, and again, it was exactly as he said. It was maybe 14 days after the hearing that I got a letter in the mail from SSA stating the judge had made a fully favorable decision on my case and had granted me retroactive pay for the full 12 months prior to the day I initially applied for benefits. The feeling I had, knowing I had made clearly the best possible decision in hiring Sam Silverman to represent me, was a feeling you get few times in life. When I first started this process, I almost didn’t even call Sam for the simple reason that his website and reviews almost just seemed too good to be true. When I googled Social Security Attorney near me, he is literally at the top of the page, the number one result, and I almost made the worst decision I could have made. I almost skipped over him, thinking it wasn’t possible that this guy is this good. But he is. Being fairly new to the area in Michigan, I don’t know many people and didn’t have anyone who could recommend a SSA attorney, so I had to rely on google, the reviews I read, and my gut. Luckily, I made the right choice. If you are looking for a Social Security Attorney, do yourself a favor and call Sam Silverman, you won’t regret it.

Profession, friendly and easy to talk to.

I was denied SSI and a friend recommended Sam Silverman to me stating that he had helped her and he was good at what he did. My friend was absolutely right! I called and was treated very nicely and was given an appointment within a week or two. When I met Sam he was professional and attentive and ve...ry positive about my case. We conversed for awhile and I felt very comfortable and I felt he really listened. He didn’t waist any time and filed an appeal right then and there. Of course, going in front of a judge was going to take about 18 months but that had nothing to do with Sam Silverman. Right away Sam worked on documents that he could obtain and then specificallu gave me instructions on the papers I needed to acquire. During those 18 months Sam would periodically check in with me or I would call him. He always returned my call within a day or two. When my court date was nearing Sam kept continual contact and he had me get documentation again to confirm I still had my disability. He prepared me well for how the preceding were going to go and they went just like he said. In the end Sam Silverman won my case for me and now my life has been made a bit easier. I would highly recommend Sam Silverman to take on any case as he was very professional, easy to talk to, organized, efficient, walked me through what I needed to do every step of the way and spoke very well to the judge handling my case. He is so good at what he does he won my case for me and he can win yours too.

Great Representation of Claim

After receiving an initial denial for Social Security Disability benefits I contacted the law firm of Sam Silverton. Over the past two years I had been seen by several Doctors, Specialists and mental health professionals. My medical condition included Post Stroke Cerebral Vascular deficit, Coronary A...rtery disease with prior Stent Placement. I am a type II insulin dependent with Perephrial Artery Disease, Macular Degeneration of the eyes and Neurophy. Mr Silverman's contacted all my medical care providers and obtained copies of relevant medical documentation. This required contacting several professional providers in both the public sector and the VA Health care providers. Prior to my hearing with Mr Silverman's he had forwarded all pertinent documentation th the hearing Judge. The day before the hearing we met and went over the details for the next days hearing.

Excellent Attorney

I suffered a horrible bacteria infection back in 2013. My life as I knew it before would never be the same after contracting this infection. I applied 2 or 3 times for disability and was denied stating I was capable of working. A dear friend had heard of this wonderful lawyer out of Kalamazoo who has... never lost a case. I had to call and try one more time with great representation.. I highly recommend Sam Silverman to anyone who truly needs a lawyer. I was so impressed when my hearing came and Mr Silverman had every duck in a row on my behalf and all evidence needed. I am truly grateful... I won my case thanks to Mr Silverman.
