Multiple Offender

I had just hit the lowest point in my life when I hired Neil Silver to represent me. I was arrested for a DUI and had my children in the car, resulting in a child abuse charge. I had two prior DUI charges from 20+ years ago from out of state. I was now facing a third DUI, child abuse and possible jai...l time. Neil was compassionate but straight forward and suggested I seek treatment for my alcohol abuse problem. I took his advise and placed myself in a residential treatment facility for treatment of Alcoholism. After I was discharged, I entered into an IOP and then into continuing care as well as joining AA. I completed all of my DUI education classes before my sentencing, as well as a parenting class suggested by Neil. All of this was presented to the judge. I received no jail time, some house arrest and a deferred sentence on my child abuse charge. I was able to prove to the judge that I have been rehabilitated from substance abuse. I was treated with compassion, not punitive punishment. I have since gone back to school to become a Certified Addiction Counselor and currently work as a RN helping others fight the disease of addiction. If you are facing legal charges; especially due to an addiction, I highly recommend Neil. He encouraged me to get the help that I needed not just to "get a lighter sentence" but to truly get my life back! Today I am completely sober, and get to be present for my children. I have now referred at least three other individuals that have all retained Neil. Everyone is as equally impressed with his professionalism and knowledge of the legal system. I highly recommend retaining Neil to help you with your legal situation.

Solid Attorney

I was facing a DUI charge and several other less serious traffic violations, including refusal of the chemical test (express consent), and an at-fault accident, when I hired Mr. Silver to represent me. He was very matter-of-fact and helpful. Any time I called or emailed, he responded back quickly. He... charged a reasonable, flat fee to represent me. Most people I spoke to were convinced I would get at least 24 months of probation (and maybe even some jail time), but with Mr. Silver's help and guidance, I managed to get my charges down to a DWAI and a "too fast for conditions" speeding ticket, which resulted in a sentence of 15 months probation, 24 hours community service, and the lowest fine. I didn't have much to work with given the situation I was in, but he managed to get me a descent deal in the end. I am very pleased with his services and would recommend him.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
