The Best!

From the first time I met Jed Silverman he was nothing but honest. I trusted him and listened to what he had to say and he did the same for me. He said he would win my case and he did indeed! My case was dropped before going to trail. It was a good day and I will be forever thankful for him and his e...ntire staff who worked hard for me. No doubt he is the best lawyer in Houston.

Hire this Guy!

No words can express my gratitude for Jed Silverman’s service. He truly saved my life and my entire future is full of opportunity once again because of his perseverance and assiduous efforts which ensured that the only acceptable outcome regarding my case was fulfilled when I walked away a free man.... Due to a mountain of legal issues, this was considered an all-or-nothing case which Jed was able to turn into a resounding victory. Jed is the guy you want. Jed is the guy that tries and WINS the very hard or seemingly impossible-to-win cases. With Jed, a dark and desperate situation can be turned into a glowing victory. I can sincerely say that Jed is the only lawyer I would ever consider referring to my friends, family, and loved ones to ever again. Jed is one of the most highly reputable attorneys in the state of Texas and this comes as no surprise when one considers his courtroom demeanor, professional temperament, respect for his clients, and most importantly his well-documented winning streak. Jed is a legal champion. It is no wonder that the magazines refer to him as a “Texas Superlawyer.” When Jed walks in the courtroom, the prosecutors shake in their boots. I admired being able to have direct transparency and clear communication with my attorney without the worry that I may be judged, shamed, or embarrassed. He really made me feel comfortable at all times and I never doubted him. Jed did not just know the implications of my case; he also understood the consequences for my future as well. I was charged with a very high degree felony and faced decades in prison, but thanks to Jed, I am free. He was able to prove my case before the court and in the end, justice prevailed.

I would trust this man with my life...

When I was arrested for a DWI in November, I felt extremely helpless. They got a warrant for my blood and the result was extremely high and I felt as if I was going to be convicted of a crime that would tarnish my record and completely change my future. I have high ambitions and have worked very ha...rd to be at the place that I am right now in my career and I only want to continue and go further in the future. Having this on my record might have meant that I would be unable to pursue certain career and personal goals that I have worked so hard to achieve. When I was referred to Jed Silverman, I was at the point that I felt so lost and confused about the legal system and my case that I was contemplating just pleading out. Even though I knew that I was being wrongfully accused, I did not see any other way since the State had claimed my blood was at a BAC of .172. This would have meant that I would have been at a BAC of .20 through .24 at the point of arrest! This was absolutely untrue but I felt cornered and out of options—who would believe me over the prosecutor and the blood test. Jed assured me that I did have options and he told me that I should fight for my freedom rather than giving in. Giving in would only mean that I definitely would have this on my record and my future would have to change. Throughout the process, Jed and his partner were there for me. His entire staff worked around the clock preparing and researching for my case to help give me a fighting chance. When I felt confused, scared or alone they helped explain the process and made me feel more in control than I could have hoped for in such a situation. After 8 months of preparation, we went to trial. I could not have asked for a better attorney. Jed Silverman fought harder for my freedom than I thought possible. He not only is a firm believer in the legal process but he is also a man who fights for people to see the truth. He made the jury see the disconnect between my video and the BAC level that he State claimed they got from my blood. For three days he vigorously represented me and went beyond my expectations. I have always been passionate about the law but there have been times that I have felt the system was corrupt. He made me realize that there are still attorneys out there that represent their clients and the law in such a truthful and passionate way. He gave me hope that even with all the politics and corruption you see in the system, there is still a fighting chance for people like me. He used his legal knowledge and his genuine passion for his clients and after three days of trial, I got a “Not Guilty” verdict from the Jury. I want to be clear that even if I had been convicted, I would recommend Jed Silverman to any person in my situation. He gave me hope in a hopeless situation and I can single-handedly thank him and his partner for giving me the chance to continue and work my way up to where I want to be in my future. He forever changed my life and I WOULD WITHOUT A DOUBT RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE.

The man that helped me get my life back

Only by faith and the grace of God were my family lead to Jed during the darkest time we found ourselves thrust into. Mr. Silverman and his legal team did all within their power to effectively defend me against false allegations and an attempt by the state of Texas to circumvent justice and just get ...another conviction "knoch in their belt." All along the way, Jed made himself accessible for my questions, explained all the steps regarding my case occurring as they happened, and developed a masterful defense that lead to a dismissal of charges: exposing the truth. I am forever grateful for his services and thankful for him giving me my life back after three and a half years.

Falsely Accused

I was falsely accused of Indecency With a Child. I first hired another attorney who did not do his job correctly, and that lead me into a worse situation. I was indicted, and scared to death and knew that I had to find an attorney that would fight for me and who believed in me. I started internet sea...rching and emailed several different Attorney's. I did this on a Sunday afternoon, and immediately after emailing Jed he called me. I could not believe he called me on a Sunday! After speaking with him on the phone my wife and I made an appointment to meet him. We went to his office and discussed my case with Jed. He was very up front and honest with us from day 1. He told us all the good things about my case and all the bad things. He showed great concern for the situation I was in. He also had knowledge about other cases and people that had been falsely accused of a sex crime. He understood the urgency in me to have this handled in the correct way. He knows that children really do lie about being molested. I needed someone on my side that knew that fact! Because I was indicted while I had the first attorney I hired, Jed had a lot on his plate to take over. I had never been through anything like this and in the very first meeting he explained what the process would be in my case. He was right, it was a long process, a hard process for me. I was offered a plea bargain, and I declined the offer. Jed understood that I was innocent and did not take the easy way out by advising me to take the Plea Bargain. He was ready and prepared to fight for my innocence in a jury trial. We went to trial in October 2012 and it only took a jury 34 minutes to find me NOT GUILTY!! Jed is not just a good Attorney, he is also a good man with good morals! I will forever be grateful to him for believing in me and standing up for the Truth!
