If I could give 10 stars I would

Without Sarah, I'd still be living in fear of a stalker. She studied up on my case a few days before my restraining order hearing and then knocked it out of the park. She was the expert in all matters, a true authority in her space, but always put me first. She cares and thoroughly understands. After... winning that hearing, I've since been working with Sarah for about two years appealing for our legal fees--such a challenging journey for me--and I've been able to put all my trust in Sarah. She truly is a learner, a diligent study, and a to-the-end fighter. She's made me whole again.

Professional and high level of integrity

Sarah represented me during lengthy custody proceedings. Sarah has an expert knowledge of the law, and presented well written and spoken legal arguments throughout the case. She is very understanding and was able to compassionately speak to me when emotions were running high. We got the outcome we... were hoping for, and Sarah was very honest and straight-forward throughout the process.

Very happy with our outcome!

Sarah is a very powerful lawyer! honestly she exceeded our expectations, a previous lawyer did not get the job done, he was very passive to opposing counsel! we honestly thought nothing can be done, our situation looked bad and our first lawyer did not help at all. Once we hired Sarah everything c...hanged in a very big way! Sarah knows the law very well our opposition had no chance at all, once she started it was over! She solved our case very quickly. We're very lucky to have found a good lawyer, its very hard finding someone passionate about there career most lawyers were intimidated on taking our case. I definitely recommend Sarah, you will not regret the results you receive.

Phenominal and Exceptional... She's a force to be reckoned with

Sarah is both professional and knowledgeable. We hired her in a high conflict custody case that had many layers to it. She immediately brought hope to us which we had lacked for quite a while. We did run into a couple of obstacles in the beginning of the case, however, Sarah was vigilant and aggress...ive in her efforts to prevail. She was very strategic moving forward and appeared to have kept 3 steps ahead in planning for any other potential challenges throughout the rest of the case. I can not express enough the gratitude we have for Sarah and her commitment on this case, she is by no means a 9 to 5 lawyer. She worked relentlessly in early mornings and late evenings via email. She was very thorough in explaining situations and steps she was taking. She was conscientious of the financial aspect of matters as well. Sarah brought us the results that we sought. To sum it all up... Sarah's a force to be reckoned with... We would highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking top notch legal representation Money well spent

Both ourselves and our clients all like working with Sarah

I work at a litigation support firm. We hired Sarah ourselves to give legal council as to how best deal with a troublesome situation. She was fantastic! We have on numerous occasions since, referred clients to Sarah Silberger when they are seeking an attorney. The reviews we've heard back from the cl...ients have been 100% positive. She's very astute, diligent, detail oriented, ethical and sincere!
