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 would highly recommend the law firm of Silverman & Silverman for all your family law matters. Alan recently handled my divorce case and is an expert in matters of family law and he provides outstanding legal guidence regarding your case. Alan is fully accessable via phone and email and always promp...tly responded to my concerns and kept me informed of every detail involving my case. My case was complex and ultimately went to trail, where Alan Silverman was highly prepared and achieved an outstanding result. If your in need of an experienced, ethical and knowledge attorney who will be dedicated to your case this is a great firm to put your trust in.

Professional, Ethical, Disciplined, Expert Attorney

The practice of Silverman & Silverman is bar none when it comes to dealing with contentious cases in a professional and goal-oriented manner. Alan is very disciplined and knows his craft well. Whether it was a weekend or evening, Alan and his wife Claudia always promptly responded to my concerns and ...kept me apprised of every detail every step of the way. Having been a licensed psychologist previous to becoming a family law attorney in 1993 proved to be an invaluable asset in handling my particular case. Armed with highly ethical, a sharp mind, completely above-board tactics, and straight-shooting lawyering skills, Dr. Silverman possesses an earned reputation and respect of judges, qualities that you'll need when dealing with tough cases and underhanded opposing parties. He also gives back to the blossoming legal community and if you are lucky enough to learn from him, more power to you because I believe all lawyers should emanate his methods. As the old adage goes, "you get what you pay for!"

Thorough and Dependable Family Law Services

I retained Alan's services for a family law matter, which was recently resolved. For the most part, Alan was helpful, practical and professional. More importantly, his knowledge of the local family court system and ability to explain what options were available for my situation significantly contri...buted to my decision making process, and ultimately an amicable outcome for all parties.
