Hit and Run Accident
In December, 2016, I was hit by another party and then they fled the scene. I was referred by a friend to Alexander Silkman, The Silkman Law Firm, PLC. I had never utilized the services of an attorney, but in this instance, I wanted to be diligent since there was no clear-cut direction due to not having the insurance information from the at-fault party. Alex Silkman was incredibly diligent and personable. I met with him once, and then the rest was handled via phone or email. Alex was responsive and never left me waiting for information or an answer to a question. He was persistent, attentive to detail, and his follow-up was on-point. Alex always responded to my emails and I was never left waiting or wondering on the status. Alex wrapped up my case timely and took care of all the details. I believe the settlement was very fair. I would recommend Alex Silkman with 100% confidence to anyone that needed an accident attorney.

Great Slip and Fall Lawyer
I slipped and fell in a grocery store. I interviewed three attorneys before choosing Mr. Silkman. He addressed my questions in detailed yet easy to understand answers and was interested and eager to take on my case. He was honest about possible outcomes or stumbling blocks that could arise. His experience in similar cases and his demeanor gave me confidence. Mr. Silkman thoroughly researched the events that led to my fall and doggedly pursued the other lawyers to turn over all evidence —despite their delaying tactics. His diligent review of the security tape and sweep log revealed corporate-required periodic inspections of the area weren’t followed. My accident could have been prevented. In addition to his exemplary competence in investigating and tying together the evidence of my case, Mr. Silkman presented himself as a respectful, likable, and confident professional. I felt shielded from the unpleasantness that may happen in legal disputes, confident that he was taking care of the details, and certain he would do everything possible for the most favorable outcome. Mr. Silkman was also very attentive to my welfare. He checked on my progress in physical therapy, was a sympathetic ear during my set-backs and cheered my triumphs. He’s an excellent attorney and a good person. I’m quite satisfied with the settlement he obtained for me.

Highly recommend!
After my car accident last August I was referred to Mr. Alexander Silkman. I had never worked with an attorney before so this was a new experience for me. My main reservation was how I was going to afford an attorney. After speaking with Mr. Silkman at his office I had very few reservations because he sounded confident and assuring that I had a case worth pursuing. I did not have to pay anything upfront. He also shared past experiences about other client’s successes. Before committing to Mr. Silkman I consulted with other attorneys. After reviewing all the feedback I received I felt most comfortable and confident selecting Mr. Silkman to handle my case. The process was very seamless. There was a time delay due to all the involving factors. Overall I’m very satisfied with the client service I was provided. He was always in contact and provided insightful information throughout of the process. He answered all my calls and emails in a timely fashion. I would recommend Mr. Silkman to any of my friends or family in Arizona. I would also seek his services in the future if needed.

Thanks Alex!
On February 4th 2015 we were in a four car accident while on the 101 in Phoenix. It was our first accident and not our fault thank goodness. I called our Daughter right away to tell her the bad news and to ask her, what do we do now! Our Daughter and Son-N-Law knew Alex (The Silkman Law Firm) so I called Alex while we were still in our truck on the 101. Alex helped me calm down in a very scary situation and gave me great advise on what's going to happen next. We are so thankful we called Alex. Two days later we hired him to handle everything for us. You just can't imagine how much there is to do even when its not your fault. We would highly recommend The Silkman Law Firm.

Testimonial
Alex handled my personal injury case for me. I live in Canada and was involved in a terrible car accident in Arizona while on vacation. Before I started working with him, I had a number of questions. Being from Canada, I did not know what to expect with the U.S. legal system. Alex addressed all of my concerns though and stayed in constant contact. I was very pleased with how honest Alex was with me about my case and how promptly he would respond to all of my emails and phone calls. When everything was said and done, Alex had gotten me a settlement that was CONSIDERABLY more than what the insurance company had offered. I would not hesitate to recommend Alex to anyone involved in a car accident.

Fair if it's a Clean Cut Case
He listened, gave me advise, told me what my case needed and what it lacked and the reason why he wouldn't take the case. I had injuries and photos Safety Handle and a witness as to the construction but no text or emails about it over a period of time.
