Above & Beyond!!

Mr. Silverman went beyond was expected in a complicated bankruptcy. He and his staff were kind and compassionate during a time no one wants to go through. I highly recommend them!!

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!

Great people! Great work!

I worked with Mr. Silverman on a bankruptcy matter, and I cannot say enough good things about him and the firm. The entire team is smart, prompt, and just an all-around absolute pleasure to work with. I would say that Mr. Silverman is one of the best attorney's I've ever worked with, and I've had inv...olvement in 10+ years of family litigation. If I find myself in need an attorney for family matters again in the future, Mr. Silverman is my first choice. I feel the need to comment on the two negative posts I read on this page. I was surprised to read anything negative at all, and have to chalk up the negative posts to...the person must have had a bad/poor/weak case and lost it on their own merit. After my experience working with Mr. Silverman and his team that was the only explanation I could come up with. I was very well advised on both ends of the spectrum, as to what the best and worst case scenarios were in my case. All of my questions were answered thoroughly. I felt that I was very well advised of all options and possible outcomes before I decided what direction to go in. The only way that could have turned out bad, is if I didn't take Mr. Silverman's advice. I highly recommend Mr. Silverman and his team. They are realistic, straightforward, and obvious experts in their field. Don't think twice about hiring Mr. Silverman's team, they're great!

Posted by Sara | February 28, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Foreclosure

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!

Divorce case

Based on a brief experience with Mr. Silverman many years ago, as well as local references, I hired Mr. Silverman to take on my divorce case. My experience was satisfactory in every way. He is knowledgeable, competent, punctual and his fees were reasonable and documented. I also cannot overstate h...ow pleased that I was to work with his staff who are likewise a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended.
