"I endorse this lawyer. Phil is a great attorney that works diligently to support his clients. Phil is an honest, hard-working attorney who works hard to fix his clients' issues. He's a great listener and anytime I've referred a client to him, they always speak positively of Mr. Silvestri and his friendly staff"
"I know Mr. Silvestri through his role as mortgage lenders' counsel at foreclosure mediation hearings. I am the homeowners' legal counsel. I have done hundreds of these mediations and I can assure you that Phil and his partner, Neal Gidvani, are the best mortgagee attorneys I have come across. Phil is well versed in the program's rules, the bank's internal loss mitigation programs and procedures, and both state and federal loan modification and short sale programs. Not only does Phil possess the factual knowledge to represent his client's interests well, but he is also a tenacious advocate of his clients' rights and interests. Although I know I'm always in for a battle when I see Phil on the other side of the table, I have the utmost respect for him as a professional. I would not give it a second thought to recommend Phil as an attorney to any friend or family member of mine."
"I endorse this lawyer."
