Knowledgeable, professional & focused

After having another attorney drag my divorce case out , I was really frustrated and felt like I needed another attorney. I reached out to my forensic accountant and she recommended Alan. Alan was really knowledgeable, understood the issues of my case and jumped right in. He moved things right alo...ng and was an amazing advocate for me in the case. He is super responsive to email and phone and is there for you when you have questions. I would definitely recommend him if you are looking for a divorce attorney.

I highly recommend Alan Silverman. He represents me in a contentious child custody case. I am very happy with his work throughout throughout this process. Alan's background is in psychology as well as family law, and because he has extensive experience in both areas he is able to provide exceptionall...y effective representation. At different times as the case progressed, I also spoke with Claudia Silverman through email. Alan and Claudia both show the highest level of professionalism, attention to detail, and courtesy. When I had a question or concern, I always received a response within the same day, often within the same hour. I recommend Silverman & Silverman to anyone in need of representation in a family law matter.

Stop Looking and Call Alan

Alan is a superlative lawyer and an absolute joy to work with. His depth of knowledge of the court system and Family Code made him utterly indispensable to me. He's a guy you can lean on. Alan's law partner, Claudia, was also very supportive and helpful reviewing materials with me. They make a gre...at team! Alan is a tank -- he doesn't get stopped by trivialities and negligible details. He is unwavering in the court room (even though my nerves were completely shot) and supportive beyond any measure. Alan clearly loves his work and never loses sight of justice. He doesn't give you false hope or false optimism; he'll give it to you straight. He's also a very compassionate person, which is refreshing. If I ever have a civil matter in the future, Alan will be the first person that I call because I know that I'll get balanced, objective counsel. I cannot thank Alan enough for the excellent work he did with my case. Even though the circumstances leading me to Alan were unpleasant, I thoroughly enjoyed working with Alan on my case. Alan was a crutch to me and my family through difficult times, and he got me the win that I needed and deserved!

I Highly Recommend Silverman & Silverman

I'd like to start by saying thank you. Thank you for believing in your clients. Thank you for caring about the families you represent. Thank you for being honest, sincere, and available at every moment. Thank you for being wonderful people. My case is a true testament to the ability of Cla...udia and Alan to be able to make sure that the outcome is in the best interest of not just their client but the child(ren) involved. Claudia and Alan were up early and working late everyday on my case for 9 months. They addressed all of my concerns and, beyond anything I could imagine, successful tackled them all. Claudia and Alan were always honest. When situations arised that needed immediate attention I felt like they dropped everything to help me. Words can not explain how thankful I am to The Silvermans for believing in me, my son, and acheving for us the opportunity to have a family. The most important, best decision I have made in my life regarding my son was to retain Silverman & Silverman. For the rest of my life I will never forget Claudia and Alan. They are truly great people.

Family Law Specialist

I recently had a completely unexpected need for the services of an attorney specializing in family law and was very fortunate in finding Alan Silverman. He was prompt in providing me with his time and thorough in his review of my case. As we progressed through the case I found him to be knowledgeab...le, able to access other experienced professionals for additional support, and responsive to all my concerns and needs. His ability to empathize was also an important factor in reaching a successful conclusion to my case. I have not hired Alan before, although I was unable to indicate this in the above question. I could not recoemmend anyone more highly.
