    Review Mark Silverman

    Landlord/tenant consultation

    5.0 stars

    Posted by

    Mark advised me on a situation with my landlord while living in Chicago. Eventually the situation resolved itself, so I did not hire Mark as my attorney. However, he was extremely helpful and knowledgeable on the situation. If I ever needed to hire an attorney in Chicago, Mark would certainly be my top choice.

    Mark was thorough, assuring and above all a superior communicator. My roommate and I reached a favorable settlement with our landlord in large part to Mark. He was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend Mark to anyone seeking representation in security deposit disputes.

    I recently used Mr.Silverman to help me break my lease in Chicago due to mold problems. He made the process extremely simple for me. He was always timely in his responses to my emails, and continued to keep me informed as progress was made with my case. In the end, everything work out as initially agreed upon. I would definitely recommend his services to my family, friends, and others.
