Highly Recommended

Elliot was amazing to work with when I was faced with an automobile related incident. He suggested how I should approach and handle the situation at hand. His availability and communication were exquisite throughout the whole process. His professional attitude helped keep me calm and composed during ...a not-so-ideal situation. He explained everything clearly and firmly, never sugar coating, and always kept me updated. He followed through on everything he said he would do. My family and I can't thank him enough. What a relief it was to hear him say "No charges will be filed against you. I'm closing the case!" I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is in need of a criminal lawyer! I'd definitely work with him again, but hopefully won't have to!

Fast and Personalized Service

My daughter who just moved to NorCal to attend college got caught in a petty theft incident at an electronics store. She was the one who found Atty Silver and was going to take the matter in her hands, except that she couldn't afford to pay a lawyer-- so she had no choice but to tell me. In additio...n, her legal address was still registered to us so the arrest notice went to our house. Ha! Just when teenagers think they can hide from their parents! But, all came out good-- I did not really interfere with her dealing with Atty Silver. I just made it clear that I wanted to be updated with everything, and Atty Silver was very considerate of that-- either he copied me in communications with my daughter or replied to me directly but we copied my daughter. He was also very responsive with calls, whether it's me or my daughter. Truth is, it's still my daughter's case; I just pre-paid it for her. I felt she still has to have her lesson and know that she needs to take responsibility. To cut the story short, everything went well-- Atty Silver was a great counsel, did not come intimidating at all to a teenager; he was very assuring. Atty Silver reviewed all fronts of the case, appeared on her behalf in court, and was able to get her into a Program to avoid the charge and conviction. And this was very important to us. The case was resolved in less than a year! Thank you, Atty Silver!!!

The BEST

Elliot Silver is a brilliant attorney. We hired him for my son's case and the outcome was even better than we expected. He was very professional , empathetic , knowledgeable and he took the time to explain every legal procedure as this was the first time ever that my family had to deal with the legal... system. We had no idea what to expect but Elliot made it easy for us to maneuver through the legal process.He took the time to explain every process to us as well as supported us emotionally as we went through the legal proceedings. Mr. Silver has been in his profession for many years and he has built up a great rapport with those that work in the court system and his professionalism and demeanor shows just how wonderful he is. He put us at ease and we felt very comfortable speaking with him about any issues we had. Whenever we contacted him he responded in a timely and efficient manner. We came to regard him much like a family member because he was just that personable and helpful to us. I would definitely reccommend Elliot Silver to anyone in need of a brilliant criminal defense attorney who also displays human kindness.
