Don't call anyone else!

Tom Silverman, Pam, and Cassie constitute an amazingly caring and professional firm. I sincerely hope to never need another attorney, but in any scenario Tom is the only one that I would call. He worked tirelessly for the best possible outcome for me, kept me appraised throughout, and took a vested... interest not only in my case, but also in me as a person. I would recommend Tom and his firm to anyone in need of an attorney.

The best attorney, by far!

Tom was my very close friend's attorney for a drug case, in which it was an illegal search by law enforcement. Mr. Silverman had received a plee offer from the DA for a maxium sentence of 2 years, which for the charges, was actually a great deal already. However, once Mr. Silverman spoke with me abo...ut what had actually happened in comparasson to what the police were stating, he fought for my friend and would not accept even such a great offer. Knowing that the court system does not take favor to anyone trying to prove that the police were wrong and did not act fairly, he still was able to prove that that was actually what had happened. He would not take no for an answer and was able to accomplish things I thought would be impossible in this case. He knows the laws like the back of his hand. My friend's case was completely dissmissed! This sounds like such a cliche, but justice truly was served. We , as civilians, have rights, and Mr. Silverman would not allow our rights to be dishonored. He is amazing and I would not recommend anyone else to fight for your rights. He is extremely intelligent to the laws and will not settle for anything less than success in your case.

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.

Best decision I have ever made

Thomas Silverman is an absolute blessing in the world of Criminal Justice and defense. After finding myself in a very upsetting position to have to hire an Attorney, Mr. Silverman was recommended to be by a trustworthy friend. I took her advice and hired the Silverman Firm after hearing her speak so... very highly of him and his abilities. His ENTIRE staff showed nothing less than absolute perfection towards me and towards my case. Mr.Silverman was an absolute blessing in disguise, and truly helped me through one of the darkest instances in my life. He is an honorable, intelligent man and it was an absolute pleasure to see him work during the Judicial Process on my behalf. I would highly recommend him and his firm to anyone who has ever needed legal counsel. He will not let you down.

Best Attorney in Colorado

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.
