***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!

Thank You Robert

I came to robert after a llong battle with the department . I have had 4 spine surgerys after doing my best to do everything the department required of me i was told i was non compliant.The department has a way of making you feel like your not important or of any value as a person .After being tol...d your wrong so much i started to feel maybe there right .I then began to lose all hope .I called robert as a last chance .I truely believe robert saved my entire world because they had won I was beatdown.After i met robert he showed real concern for me as a person not just a client. The deptartment wanted to close my claim and pay me 4,000 dollars .Robert believed they were wrong not me and he fought hard for me and my family and he was right .we won a lifetime pension for me and my family.So i can truely say i am here today and my family is togeather only because of Robert Silber .He will always be a special friend to my family.And always in our prayers daily.I can only say you dont need to feel hopeless and alone you only need help..

Extremely Thorough

Robert represented my sister - she was his very first case. My sister worked for a self insured company who fought tooth and nail not give my sister her entitled early retirement due to an on-the-job injury. Robert fought even harder and was able to get my sister the financial security, (settlemen...t and monthly income) she needed for life. His attention to her case then, as well as throughout the years as changes were needed between L & I and Social Security, has been impressive. We have never had to worry that Robert did not follow through. If it is legal and right, Robert will fight for you and not leave you hanging with 'oh, I forgot to do that'. We highly recommend him.

"As an attorney who represents Employers, I have had the opportunity to litigate against many attorneys from around the state who represent workers, and I must say, that Robert is one of the most compassionate, hard-working, and competent attorneys on the claimants' side of the bar.
