Beyond my expectations.

Over the last few years through some very regrettable behavior on my part, I not once, but twice was facing the unfortunate, stressful, and downright terrifying prospect of being sent to the Department of Corrections for several years. It was only through Tom’s and his capable staffs dedication and i...mpressive legal knowledge and skill while navigating the local judicial system that I have been fortunate enough to retain my freedom and current living situation close to my family. I can not express how grateful and fortunate I am for all Tom, Pam, and the rest of the staff has done for me. Even when the situation looked hopeless to me, Tom remained dedicated and compassionate to securing the best possible outcome. I am proud to have Tom not only as my attorney, but also now a close and dear friend. I would highly recommend The Silverman Law Office to anyone in need of an attorney who will not just treat you as a client, but as someone who genuinely cares about your situation.

Outstanding

I hired Tom Silverman to assist in a temporary restraining order issue. A magistrate had granted a TRO against me based on an affidavit containing many lies, after I confronted a neighbor who had been stealing irrigation water from my wife and I. After lying in his affidavit and lying in another he...aring, Tom was able to get my accuser to admit that he'd lied twice under oath. Once exposed as a liar, the restraining order was not made permanent, and the DA is now investigating the person for felony perjury. This outcome was spectacular and made possible by Tom's excellent cross examination techniques. I will be forever grateful to Tom and his staff for their assistance during this time, and for showing the judge what I knew all along-I'd not done the things I was accused of. Tom is an incredible attorney, but more importantly he's a kind person who really cared about me, and saw the injustice I was experiencing.

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!

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.

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!
