Thomas Duncan Silverman

I have known Thomas D. Silverman since the early 1980s when I was a witness in a court case in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Mr. Silverman was defending a young man accused of assault. I remember that Mr. Silverman turned over every stone looking for facts to help him present the truth to the jury. ...I was cab diver at the time-- and he found me. I had observed an important sequence in events that proved Mr. Silverman’s client had tired to avoid conflict with his accuser. Mr. Silverman won that case because he went the extra mile. He cared deeply about justice and about protecting his client’s right to a fair trial. Countless attorneys I have observed over the years do the basic work and that is the extent of their participation. Mr. Silverman is different. He takes each case personally defending each client as if he or she is a member of his own family. Years after the assault case, my own young son was arrested for drunk driving in Garfield County. I was relieved for two reasons, first because my boy had not been injured or dfddeeeresponsible for the injuries or deaths of innocent people-- and second because I knew that Tom Silverman would see to it that my boy would be treated fairly. Just as I had seen him do twenty years earlier, Tom Silverman fought for my son like he was HIS son too. The result was excellent . My son got justice. He did have consequences for his dangerous behavior. But they were consequences that would not ruin the rest of his life. I have known of many, many cases involving Tom Silverman as attorney for the defense, and all of them--WITHOUT EXCEPTION have ended with Mr. Silverman’s client obtaining the best possible outcome. If anyone in my family were to get into trouble in Colorado for anything from DUI to Capital Murder, I would do whatever it took to get Tom Silverman to represent him or her. Not only does he know the intricacies and subtle shadings of the law--- but the other attorneys and the judges KNOW that he knows the law. He is a powerful ally, so well respected in the Garfield County/ Glenwood Springs/ Rifle area that his name on a legal filing alone puts you at the top of the heap. The District Attorney will know at once that you have a fearless, vastly educated champion in your corner. Tom Silverman is THE best, most outstanding attorney in Colorado. He will ensure the law is strictly adhered to. There are no cheap tricks played on Tom Silverman’s clients. If you are innocent Mr. Silverman will make sure that the judge or jury knows it. If you are guilty Mr. Silverman will force the District Attorney to prove it.. AND with Mr. Silverman’s expertise and presence, a tie will go to the runner (you). My story has a great ending. My son grew up and stopped behaving dangerously. He wasn’t damaged by the legal process, he was educated by it. I thank God for Tom Silverman to this day. He is the real deal. If you can hire him -- you will start out with the best possible field advantage. Make no mistake. The man is BRILLIANT. He dazzles-- and if you ever need him before a jury.. he is peerless. I will never forget the kindness he has shown to my family and me.
