From Chaos to Order! Thank you Ian!!!!!
The saints and miracle workers at Silverthorne Attorneys turned chaos into order (and all I had to do was sit back)!!!!!! We were in a car wreck, our necks hurt, and in front of us we had the uphill battle of having to get chiropractic work done, connect with multiple insurance agencies, wade through police reports, rental cars, third parties and all manner of cumbersome obstacles. Now, enter Ian Silverthorne: I feel like I literally sent an email with my details, then I responded to an email or two - then we would just get updates, and just like that the settlement was done. Its literally easier to work with the team at Silverthorne than getting an Uber. Lake Forest, Orange County, even California, wherever you are - save some time and headaches and lock on with Silverthorne (I an and team: if you are reading this - thank you guys so so much - you are the best!)

Auro accident
Hello, I would like to say that from the moment I contacted Silverthorne Attorneys for car accident, I have experienced nothing but respectful and professional service from both staff and Ian. My case was long but was worth the patience! Ian was very communicative with explaining the delay and process of court system especially after the delay of this pandemic. I had all my medical bills paid out accordingly and Ian made sure I received a fair payout. I really appreciate Ian's experience and recommendations on my case as well as his professionalism that made me feel at ease. I highly recommend him and would use him if needed to in the future! Thank you Ian for all your help and helping me close the case with good outcome!

He's so good, it's breathtaking!!!
I'm honestly tired of Mr. Ian letting me have free consultations. For the past decade he has helped me and my family so much. After hours and days of calling so many different attorneys, no one wanted to take my case. Not even those attorney firms that advertise on television. The problem with my first case was that I trusted the insurance agency to payme everything they said they would. Wasn't till ater more than 1 YEAR later, he insurance settlement never came. I never felt so much betrayal in my life. Especially that I was not at fault. My last call was to Mr. Silverthorne. He is heaven sent. You will be lucky if you are able to retain him. .out Genuine Attorneys are extremely busy. Yet, somehow after all these years of calling him, he still gives me free consultations. I am a si gle mom of 3 with MAJOR TRUST ISSUES, Mr Ian Silverthorne is my go to in any situation. I literally trust him with my own life, this is how honest and good of a human he is. He WINS!!!! My special needs daughter is very well take. Care of. Please, if you or anyone is special needs and was in an accident, he knows how to get MAXIMUM AND MORE! He is anything but selfish or greedy. He is genuinely humble and beyond knowledgeable of the courts, judge's, and laws. He really does his best, with all his heart.

A great attorney
He is great at what he does and I trust him 100%. I have had horrible experiences with other attorneys like lack of communication and employees being very rude over the phone. Ian’s employees are awesome they are so nice and help clarify questions I have and Ian is an overall great guy.

Great Service
I was referred to Ian Silverthorne by a family member after I was hit on the freeway by someone driving over 100mph. My car was totalled and I was left with a broken leg and shattered ankle. I'm a hairstylist and my job requires me to stand for 8-10 hours a day. I'm also a single mom and Ian assured me that we would be taken care of. Ian and his team are very professional, always answered my questions in a timely manner and were able to get me the settlement I needed to focus on my family and recovery. I highly recommend.

Excellent Representation.
After my auto accident I was contacted by the insurance company who offered me &75,000 for my injuries. Ian was able to settle for $950,000,000 with an open end additional $2,000,000 for my eye and vision impairment damages for the future. Without Ian and his excellent team I would never have received a settlement like this. His team managed the Doctor’s and insurance company on a weekle basis. Other attorneys had told me it would take 2-5 years. Ian had money in my account in 3 months and recurring payments every 6 months. Thank you Ian..

Fantastic Lawyer!!!
My father and I were in a traumatic car accident on the freeway and had several injuries along with severe car damage that nearly totalled our car. We consulted with Ian about our claim and his first reaction was to get us the care we needed. He immediately referred us to a wonderful doctor and assured us that he would take care of the rest with the insurance companies, which he did! Ian got us the money we needed to repair our car and cover our medical expenses with no hassle on our ends. He is very honest and straightforward and I appreciated that he seemed to genuinely care about us as his clients. He even contacted us long after our treatment sessions to see if we we were recovering well. Everything he said he would do, he did, and more! Very happy with our choice and would recommend him to family, friends, and anyone who has a personal injury claim. Thanks Ian!

Mr.
Ian, Attorney at Silverthorne came through for me with his professional work ethic, and promises kept on my case. I recommend him for an interview at the bare minimum, to see if he meets your requirements. He is to the point and his recommendations and time-line.

Excellent
Ian Silverthorn is your man if you are ever in an auto accident. Ian was great at communication be it phone or email. If he was not able to immediately respond he would have his wonderful secretary call or email back. I hired Ian because I was the victim of a 3 car accident. I was rear ended by a box truck that was also rear ended. I was 34 wks pregnant at the time of accident and was accompanied by my young minor child at the time of accident. I had started to take care of everything in regards to the accident myself. However, then my insurances MedPay did not want to pay the bills. Ian was able to get me the care I needed desperately. Including Chiropractic care, Cervical injections, physical therapy. He was about to get me more in my settlement that I got to take home due to his diligence and excellent work ethic. I recommend Silverthorn Attorney 10/10 One of the man reason I choose Ian was because he is not one of those injury lawyers whos spends ton of money on marketing companies to get his business out there. He was a recommendation by word of mouth!

Work with the best.
Ian Silverthorne and his team handled my granddaughters car accident case, and we couldn't be more pleased with the level of professionalism, superior representation and integrity demonstrated throughout the entire process. Her settlement is 5x what we even expected and we owe all to Ian's intelligent and resourceful tactics, as well as his tenacity in dealing with the Insurance companies. I would highly recommend this outstanding team of bright and clever Individuals to not only just my friends and family, but to anyone who needs help or is involved in a personal injury lawsuite. Thanks again Ian, Ashlee, Brittney and Justin!

Great service
Ian Silverthorne is an amazing lawyer! He helped my son and I when my son was bitten by a dog. He helped make sure my son received proper medical care, including plastic surgery and follow up care for his wounds. His staff was compassionate and caring and kept me informed about everything. He made a difficult time a little easier and secured my son a great settlement!

Great Work!!!
Ian, Brittney, Ashlee, and Justin, you guys are great, if I could give more stars I would. This Attorney Firm was the best I’ve ever worked with, they were patient with me even when I was being difficult, and they explained everything as they did it, and always kept me in the loop. Ian and his team helped me when my previous attorney dropped me and made me think all was lost, after being dropped, I figured I would call everywhere and get a second opinion, and I got so lucky to stumble upon Silverthorne Attorneys. If you get in an accident, don’t panic just call Silverthorne Attorneys.
