The Silverman Lining of DEFERRED DUI Cases

Tom Silverman is truly the “Silverman Lining” of all cases and courtrooms. And in my case, a deferred DUI sentence! That’s how good he is. His experience and expertise in law, compassion and understanding towards his clients, and attention to every little detail makes him one of a kind. With what cou...ld have been a devastating outcome for me and my future (a nursing student with a whole future ahead of her), Tom presented my case in court in a way that made me feel that I was seen for more than a case number or conviction. He made me feel like a human being and took the time to understand me and my background. He fought for my best possible outcome and it paid off! He was committed to my case from beginning to end, informed me, and prepared me every step of the way. I could not be more thankful for confiding in Tom for helping with my with my case. He should get more than 5 stars! Along with Pam, his warm hearted, educated, and welcoming assistant!

Amazing Results

Matthew Pearson was my lawyer from this firm and I could not have picked a better lawyer. He and the staff were always informative and excellent at keeping me informed. Matt was aggressive at seeking out the desired results. In the end I received a better than expected outcome. I would recommend ...Matt and his team to anyone who wants a lawyer with heart and compassion, who is willing to go above and beyond.. thank you again Matt for all your hard work, I could not be more pleased..

Professional and Thoughtful

My husband and I just finished filing bankruptcy, using Mr. Silverman as our lawyer. We found him to be sensitive to our needs and concerns and he carefully and thoroughly answered all questions we had - from what it would cost to file to what we could expect moving forward to the time frame we shoul...d anticipate. All of those involved in his practice were genuine and considerate, with his Legal Assistant, Cassie, being especially so. She kept us updated throughout the process and never hesitated to provide additional information when we asked. When we finally had our hearing, Mr. Silverman was well-prepared to address the court and thoroughly briefed us before our actual meeting with the trustee - recognizing how stressful and difficult it was for us to work through this process. When we were asked several questions, we felt as though we could accurately and appropriately answer them. We were successful in our filing and would recommend Mr. Silverman 100% and, if needed, would recommend him to all of our family and friends. Thank you Tom!

Competent and Effective lawyer work !!!!!

Tom Silverman is a caring lawyer twords his clients and a no none sense and much respected man among his peers in a court room. Competent. I was always kept in the loop and given all opportunity to help my case best I could. Pam his secretary was always sweet and easy to work with and always kept me... posted via email and by phone making life much easier to adapt to. At the conclusion of my pretty serious case Tom got me a "NOT" guilty outcome ! Very good performance and a satisfied client.

Tom Silverman is the only criminal attorney I would use in Colorado's n Roaring Fork Valley.

First of all, Tom is a great guy. He is easy to talk to, and also exceptionally smart. (And no he’s not paying me to write this, nor am I his personal friend) I was arrested because a neighbor said I attacked her in my driveway while I was doing yard work. Though she actually came after me as there... had been a long history of issues between us, and I simply let her know that she had made a bad decision by dropping her on the road, all in an effort to get her off me. Then came the restraining order, then my wife and I filled a restraining order against her, Amy for my wife and our children. Crazy Amy was driving aggressively around the cul de sac when the kids were out playing and riding their bikes; and she also made a point of harassing my 1st grade daughter at school as Amy is also a part time something in the school lunchroom. So yes, it was a mess. On the first court date Tom Sliverman got the assault charges tossed out. Huge relief as that was the criminal side of things. Then Tom went to work on the civil side of things, being the restraining order; and last week, after we dropped our restraining order against Amy, as we moved across the country to get away from her, Tom convinced the judge to toss the one she had against me, and he did. So what started out as a big mess, ended in Tom clearing everything up and my winning in all respects. Not only do I like Tom, I have tremendous respect for the way he handles himself; and actually the way he handled me, as I wanted to crush this woman, though he kept bringing me back to a sensible place. That saved me a huge amount of money, and very importantly, Tom won everything for me. I cannot recommend him highly enough; and believe it or not, he is not really that expensive.
