Sam Won My SSD Case!

I found Sam on the Internet, and I am glad I did. Sam is a straight-shooter, no-nonsense attorney who says it like it is and has been doing this for many years. He explained his process and any fees upfront so that there are no surprises. Most calls are short and to the point, but he will answer your... questions if you have any. If you call Sam and he does not pick up your call immediately, he will call you back the same day. He is dedicated and works behind the scenes to get the best possible outcome for your case and keeps you in the loop of what he has done so far, what he plans to do next, and what to expect at the hearing level. Sam had prepared a thorough brief for the hearing of all of my health diagnoses in a clear and concise manner supported by the medical evidence. Sam also prepped me to go in front of the Judge, but the Judge approved my case without going to the hearing. That was a good day! Sam did a great job, and I highly recommend him. And Kelly, the firm’s Legal Assistant, did a great job also.

This is the guy you want on your case

When my therapist finally convinced me to apply for disability I had already eaten through my savings in denial and was in a pretty bad place (though thankfully was safe and had a roof over my head, but I wasn't doing very well otherwise). I was overwhelmed and not sure how to proceed. My mother is a... nurse so she asked around for colleagues who knew about the process, and one recommended Mr. Silverman - that was the best stroke of luck I could have asked for. He was thorough and businesslike, on top of everything, kept meticulous records and chased every possible avenue. But he was also patient with me, sympathetic, and possessed of a humanity and no-nonsense humbleness you wish you could get in your doctors let alone your attorney. I probably felt more embarrassed about my situation than he did, and he tirelessly did the necessary research not only to know exactly what to do, what I was entitled to by law, and how to go about it, but also what things I needed to focus on to make sure the proper authoritative channels understood my situation in a way that was meaningful to them (important when you're an adult with a late ADHD diagnosis- he sifted through my chatter and knew which things were the needed information and which were not). Through the whole long process, he was there getting things done, rolling with the inevitable snags and figuring out how to get over those hurdles, and keeping me up to date on what was happening, even letting me know now and then he was still on things just because it had been a while and we were still waiting. I never could have done it on my own, but I'm also confident he went above and beyond and strongly recommend specifically this man to help you out with legal advice. Knowing I had him in my corner kept me calm through the journey and I recently got my first disability payment, which hopefully will be the start of me getting a better handle on my health now that the millstone of supporting myself is lifted from my shoulders. When he told me these reviews helped others find him I couldn't click the page fast enough. Hire him, I promise you won't be sorry, and I want him to be successful and happy forever because he really helped me out through something very difficult, and I don't care if it is his job I'll be grateful forever, he did a great job and he's a good bloke in my book.

Sam Got The Job Done!

I went to Mr. Silverman after losing my first appeal for disability, as most people do. Sam explained the processes, what he would be doing, kept me informed as the case moved along thru the appeals process to a successful conclusion in a hearing in front of a judge. He made the whole process sim...ple for me, did what he said he was going to do, and was open and honest about costs. I can't thank him enough.

Excellent Attorney

Sam Silverman was highly recommended to me and I am so thankful for his work, knowledge and expertise in my case. Sam has depth of knowledgeable and insight as it pertains to disability cases and works till the job us done. He regularly goes out of his way to communicate any updates and status of the... case often, which is very much appreciated! Excellent customer service from him and his staff. Highly recommend.
