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!

Tom Silverman, I Highly Recomend

I am a hard working blue collar, single parent in need of legal help. Tom came highly recommended, after my first consultation I never felt the need to consider any other representation. With Tom it wasn't all about the money, Cassie, Pam along with Tom took as much time as necessary to make sure my... case was 100% prepared. I had a few unique issues that required a lot extra time spent on research of other similar cases. And when it was all over I was never ask for extra time compensation, Tom stuck to his word and I paid the amount I was told from day one and not a penny more. My court day couldn't have went smoother with no surprises due to the preparation on Tom Silverman and his teams efforts put in before the court date. My sincere thanks to Tom and staff.

Domestic Violence 911 call from Wife

First off I was very distraught when I came into his office because of the night in jail and what my life had turned to at this point. As I explained my situation, he explained the reality of it and assured me that he could work things out for me. I left his office feeling very positive about my c...ase and also calm. He believed me about what i told him and assured me that I was going to be taken care of. I was told by his secretary (Pam) to be patient and Tom knows what he is doing. I have also heard how good Tom is from everyone in the valley that I talked to about my situation. They also said that I couldn't do better than Tom. He was recommended by all others I talked to before hiring him. If you like someone who can put a twist on your situation and explain it to you, then Tom should be your lawyer. By the way, he got the Domestic violence Charge dropped. I really didn't do what i was accused of doing. He and I worked together and within 3 months I won, or Tom won the case for me. I was prepared to go to court with a trial, because Tom was confident he could obtain justice. He saved me a fortune because we didn't have to go to court. He saved my reputation also. He really cares for you personally and will get the job done. Always tell the truth.

BAR NONE THE BEST LAWYER IN THE ENTIRE ROARING FORK VALLEY, IF NOT THE STATE OF COLORADO

I hired a high priced Aspen lawyer who claimed to be the best in the business when it came to dui/dwai case that my case would be no problem. well needless to say in cost me several thousand dollars and I never even appeared in court on my case. he would not continue unless I gave him several thous...and more! So I did what any level headed person would do and fired him. I heard about Thomas Silverman through friends and figured I would give him a try not only was Mr. Silverman cheaper but his experience got my case thrown out of court completely! Mr. Silverman is second to none and he is a rare breed he actually cares about his clients and their welfare he isn't in it for the money alone! I personally would recommend him to anybody looking for a well seasoned lawyer whose honesty, loyalty and integrity sets him apart from the rest in his field of work. Mr. Silverman is very professional and so is his in entire staff they are a reflection of him. hopefully I will never need Mr. Silverman legal assistance again but if I do he is the ONLY LAWYER I will ever use.

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.
