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.

Professionalism and Integrity

I reached out to Tom with a very complicated case. As many of these reviews, I was in a desperate situation. Tom listened and represented me with the utmost professionalism and integrity. The negotiations with the DA and the Judge were always on point and awarded me the best outcome possible. Pam..., his office manager, was also crucial for the success in my case. I am grateful I hired Tom to represent me, allowing me to get my life back on track.

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!

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!
