A really good lawer.

Thomas D Silverman is a honest hard working lawer, who earned my trust and admiration through his diligence and dedication to me and my case. I could not be happier with the outcome. Tom and his team, worked hard to present a detailed and well informed case, which in the end, led to a win for both o...f us. He and his team are exceptional at their jobs, and truly cared. And when dealing with life changing and often high stress scenarios, you want to know you have the best.

Outstanding

Tom was there for me in every way possible. He really cared about me as a person which is greatly appreciated. He helped get everything set straight for me to continue to move forward in life. Great communication and understanding. Would recommend his professionalism to anyone who is considering help... in the subjects of which he specializes in. His assistant, Pam is a wonderful lady and was also there for communication purposes.

The Suited Savior

Beyond rock bottom, I was faced and charged with a felony DUI and looking at prison time. I've known Tom for many years so I called upon him in pure desperation as my real only hope. He formulated a strong and calculated strategy which he executed perfectly. I avoided prison and basically any jail ti...me and have been afforded a precious opportunity to rebuild all aspects of my life back to my successful past. All thanks to the Suited Savior!

Debt free and happier than I've ever been

I originally consulted with Tom and his team on a possible bankruptcy case when I was in danger of losing my home to foreclosure in 2012. When I didn't qualify for bankruptcy, the knowledge I gained in the interim helped me avoid the foreclosure altogether and I completed a successful short sale shor...tly thereafter. Even with the short sale behind me, I still wanted to get help with the crippling credit card debt I had obtained while trying to make ends meet while paying a mortgage I could not afford. Tom and his team worked tirelessly to help me negotiate all of my debt down to a reasonable, achievable amount (less than half of the original amount!) and got me completely out of debt within a year. I not only got out of debt, but I also got a bit of "credit therapy" and it completely changed my thoughts on using debt and how to manage it. Having their help gave me confidence to move forward and didn't make me feel like a criminal for wanting a better way out of the situation. Continuing to pay the minimums was not going to get me to my financial goals! I cut up all my cards after our first meeting and didn't look back. Today, I'm still completely credit card debt free (though I do have a single credit card for building back my credit score and emergencies), and I was able to buy a home again with my repaired credit. I'm thankful everyday for my life and current financial situation, which was made possible by Tom and his team. I'm happy to give them this review and send them any referrals for friends that may find themselves in a similar situation. Thanks Tom!

My Miracle Maker

I 100% guarantee that Tom Silverman is the best attorney there is out there. I was being investigated and charged with Bank Theft. This was a serious case, I was facing 9 charges most of them felonies. After thousands of dollars and no luck with my first attorney I decided to visit miracle maker Tom... Silverman. From the first visit I could see the difference and professionalism compared to my previous attorney. Pam always so sweet and caring was always there with a smile on her face. She always kept me up to date with my court dates and if for any reason could not reach me by phone she would always find a way to keep me updated. She always found a way to keep me informed. Mat Pearson, always so supportive in my court hearings. He always made me laugh while we were there and although it was tough to be at a courtroom his great attitude and funny comments always made it go smoother. When I met Tom his words and confidence brought me peace of mind. This man invested all his time in my case. Never did I feel lost, like I did with my previous lawyer. Everything they did for my case they explained with such detail. They never did anything that was not in the best of my interest. Tom took time out of his personal life to meet me on Saturdays so we could discuss my case we were there for hours and hours. He never seemed upset and was always motivating me to feel like everything would turn out okay. Tom’s professionalism and patience made me feel like I could count on him and that putting my life in his hands and his team was the best thing for me and my family. I knew Tom would not let me down and he would fight for me because as his client i was important to him. He wasn’t just fighting for the best deal he could get me, this man was not giving up on me, he was fighting for my life, my children and my family. Tom, my miracle maker and I walked out of that courtroom with 2 misdemeanor charges, no Jail, no probation, no nothing all this on a bank theft case. There are no words to describe my happiness and gratitude towards this man. I want to let you know that you can put your life in his hands because this man makes miracles. If you are looking for a miracle with your case go to Tom Silverman you will not regret it. He saved my life I’m 100% sure he will save yours.
