Incredible Attorney and outstanding team!

From the very first phone call, I knew I was in the best hands possible. Working with Robert Silber and his outstanding team of professionals wasn’t just about legal representation—it was an experience that made me feel like family, not just a client. Robert’s knowledge, dedication, and compassion... go far beyond the expectations I had going into this process. He took the time to listen to every detail, answer every question, and guide me with complete honesty and care. His team—each and every one of them—was attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in my well-being. I never once felt like a case number; I felt like a person they truly cared about. Throughout the 4+ years of my case, they were tenacious, strategic, and tireless in their work, making sure my voice was heard and my rights were protected. Communication was clear and consistent, and I always knew where I stood. They walked me through every step with empathy and confidence, which brought me so much peace during a very difficult time. If you’re looking for an attorney who will stand by you, fight for you, and treat you like one of their own, look no further than Robert Silber and his team. Their integrity, heart, and skill are second to none. I am endlessly grateful for what they’ve done for me. They are more than legal professionals—they are truly exceptional human beings. I will never regret my decision to hire Robert Silber for representation.

Representation for labor and industry dispute

Attorney Silber and staff did an amazing job in dissecting the case analyzing and planning a strategy for my best interest. I was kept informed through the whole process and very impressed with the legal maneuvering on his part. It was a bonus working with attorney Silber in regards to his pleasantn...ess and demeanor. He knows the individuals you have to know at the Dept of Labor and Industry and I highly recommend Attorney Silber in litigation’s towards them.

***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!
