"He is one of the top 5 Lawyers in California"

Mr. Silver has used his 40 years experience to successfully see me through the past 14 years of a most difficult 30-year uncontested Worker's Compensation case due to an industrial injury that occurred in 1984 His patient support, knowledge of the law, and referrals to the best physicians have be...en invaluable to me in getting proper medical care for these past 14 years and in reaching a final settlement last week, which will yield me per month almost what I was offered 20 years ago as a final compromise and release settlement lump sum, and which I am now so glad that I declined because of Mr. Silver's recent display of excellent settlement and negotiation skills. Mr. Silver is extremely competent, knows the "ins and outs" of Work Comp, and more importantly who are the best physicians to properly treat the different medical conditions of the patient. In my case, he referred me to a brilliant physician, David S. Silver, who was at the time Clinical Professor of Medicine at UCLA, and Chief of Internal Medicine, Rheumatology, at Cedars-Sinai. Dr. Silver's reports greatly impacted my case positively, and because of Dr. Silver I was able to continue Upper Cervical care, begin Home Health care, and was treated for many secondary conditions that were a result of my industrial injury. Because of his responsible effective reports, and because of Mr. Silver's legal expertise, I will remain "harmless" from all expense incurred since 2010 at Cedars-Sinai Hospital, and Medicare liens - even for stage 3 colon cancer (including 4 surgeries and about a year of chemotherapy and radiation) because he proved they were secondary to my industrial injury because of the delays in authorization - a difficult negotiation point, indeed. I really appreciate what Mr. Silver has done for me, first trying to get my pension in 2002, and now in this final settlement. In our meeting last week I realized this man REALLY CARES. He did a brilliant job in representing me and actually got a settlement which I could not have ever imagined. I am most grateful to him and his Assistant for their kindness, professionalism, responsiveness to my particular needs and requests, and representation in a most difficult, complicated and unique case. I am also most appreciative that in spite of the fact that his 2002 Permanent Disability Award of $430,000 was revoked on appeal and he didn't get one red cent for all his work, he said to me, " I think I still can get you more medical care." Mr. Silver procured a final settlement that I could finally accept, that will protect me to the end of life, afford me 100% Medical Coverage while allowing me some peace of mind as I approach retirement age.. I applaud Mr. Silver and his Assistant, Yvette Gregory, who always was responsive to my requests for copies of documents and passed on messages promptly. His front office staff is amicable and helpful. Many times I would call to ask them if they received a fax, and they would personally print it out and take it to Mr. Silver, giving me an assurance that they were really fighting for me. Mr. Silver, himself, was responsive to my concerns, represented me properly and effectively, and protected me from Bad Debt and Credit Collection on more than one occasion. His Settlement Negotiations were thoughtful, productive, and I really appreciated the fact that although by the end of the several years negotiation process the work he expended and the results he achieved would have normally rendered him a $90,000 fee, he said, "I will only charge the $60,000 that we spoke about because that made it possible for the defense to accept" the total Final settlement sum. This man worked for 14 years on my behalf without pay trying to protect me from creditors, bad debt, and bad defense doctor reports, while trying to get me maximum health benefits and now an award that I can retire on. I recommend him without hesitation and with deep gratitude for what he has achieved this past week.
