Helpful perspective and professional advice

I received helpful counsel from Mr. Silber regarding my worker's compensation claim and separation agreement with my employer of injury. It was extremely valuable to have his experienced perspective to give me an expectation of how the process normally goes and how to best advocate for myself. Wi...th little time left on my end to review the agreement, I was happy to be able to schedule a time quickly and had a thorough conversation which made me feel more prepared and confident in the next steps. I am grateful for the professional advice and will highly recommend Mr. Silber to others in need of similar consultations.

Kind and honest

Robert was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He took the time to listen to my story, understand my case and offer great advice all for free! I ended up not needing to hire him, but I would have hired him in a heartbeat if needed. He answered all of my questions and broke down my options which help...ed elevate some concerns. If you're unsure about needing a lawyer (I was), but want questions answered give him a call. I wish I would have called sooner, I could have avoided a lot of stress.

Great Advocate!!

I was injured on the job while working for an employer who was self-insured for L&I. I submitted an honest and legitimate claim, but was given the run around. My employer attempted to avoid responsibility and close out my claim. I consulted with Robert and he made all the difference. My claim was no...t a big one, but Robert took the time to understand my situation and provided me with great advice. In the end, I received a settlement which helped cover the bulk of the cost of surgery. I found Robert to be honest, caring and tenacious. He was a difference maker for me and I highly recommend him!

***OUTSTANDING ATTORNEY NEEDED? READ THIS REVIEW!***

Robert Silber, is as wonderful a person as he is an attorney. My husband and I are both experienced professionals and are highly respected in our chosen fields of aviation and medicine. After a severe workplace injury, we realized we needed an attorney who knew how to navigate the legal and the lab...or and industry systems. We were very lucky because we received references from an well respected attorney in another area of the law. Our question was simple; "if this had happened to you or a member of your family, who would you turn to for expert advice?". The answer was an emphatic Robert Silber. To say that is was a perfect match is an understatement. Robert, from the very beginning, made us feel like we were his only clients. He took time to listen to us. Robert took time to explain the law. He took time to explain the process and what his role would be. Robert explained how long the process might take and what the results could be. Robert was always available to us whether by text, email or phone. If we asked Robert a question, he would get back to us as soon as it was possible for him to do so. Seriously, Robert made us feel like we were family. Let us emphasize: "HIRE ROBERT EARLY". Please do not think you can do this without legal guidance. After you are injured, the only persons looking out for your best interest are Robert and you. Your employer will want this settled as quickly and cheaply as possible and may not disclose what all of your options may be. Robert is the perfect guide to a complex, confusing system. YOU SHOULD NOT TAKE ON YOUR EMPLOYER AND THE LABOR AND INDUSTRY SYSTEM ALONE. Robert's legal expertise was matched by his ability to keep up with the employer's and L&I's requests for forms, letters, and medical records. Robert is well versed in medical terminology, diagnoses and how the medical system works. Robert became the gatekeeper for all information and requests from Social Security, Disability insurance companies, and L&I. This took a tremendous strain off of us. We were able to focus on the treatment and recovery from the injury. Robert focused on all other matters which would have been completely overwhelming had he not been in place. When you hire Robert you have hired an advocate and an attorney for a process that may last a very long time. We had no idea when this started how complex and difficult this journey would become. We are grateful beyond words that Robert has been with us each step of the way. Our journey unfolded just as Robert described it might. We were able to face the legal challenges because we knew that Robert was up to the challenge and if it came down to a juried trial, we had an experienced, successful trial attorney to represent us. We were successful at reaching the maximum benefit under the law without going to trial because of Robert and the strength of our case. ROBERT "WON" FOR US!
