    "Larry goes above and beyond what any other attorney I know would do for his clients."
    My name is Tara Bell. I have been working in the legal field for 20 years and worked for Larry 10 out of those 20 years. I cannot say enough about Larry, but as an attorney, and I have met several over the years, he is the best. As a person, he is the most compassionate, caring and thoughtful person I know which, I believe, is the main reason he is such an outstanding attorney in all the areas of law that he practices. Larry goes above and beyond what any other attorney I know would do for his clients. Over the years I have referred all my family and friends to this exemplary attorney knowing that they will be given the best possible service available.

    "Thank you Mr. Silverman I am forever grateful."
    The moment I knew I needed an attorney and not knowing what to do I started searching the Internet. After a little searching I found Mr. Silverman’s web site and felt comfortable enough to call him. I was extremely nervous and embarrassed about my situation. Mr. Silverman took my call right away and without even knowing me told me what to do and even called me back later in the day to check up on my situation. Mr. Silverman is extremely patient and caring and answered all my questions and concerns. It was very obvious that he is much respected in the courts because he was able to meet with the D.A privately and resolve my case on the first court appearance in my favor. I am so thankful of Mr. Silverman and would tell anyone in search of an attorney to give him a call and watch how quickly you’ll feel at ease. Thank you Mr. Silverman I am forever grateful.
    - T.B.

    "I have recommended him to anyone who has asked me about an attorney."
    I had been sitting in the County Jail for six months. The criminal charges against me had been dismissed, and Legal Aid was representing me on a parole violation. The parole violation should have automatically been dismissed, but the revocation specialist for the Division of Parole bagan playing hard ball with me. She sought a contested hearing on the isssue. Legal Aid seemed to be at a loss. They had no paperwork in my file, and both I and my family were distraught and in a panic because we had no idea what evidence the revocation specialist was relying on. Out of frustration, my family hired Larry Silverman. The fee we paid Larry was the best money we ever spent. Almost immediately Larry began tracking down the paperwork, answers came flowing in, and in no time at all we were certain that Larry Silverman was going to carry the day for us. After a long, hard-fought battle in which the Division of Parole threw every dirty trick in the book at me to try to have my parole violated, Larry won for me. In stead of spending the next 7 years incarcerated, I am now free and with my family again. It never would have happened if Larry and his staff had not stepped in and fought like hell for me. I will never forget the peace of mind Larry and his staff gave to myself and my family during what was a time of fear and uncertainty for us all. I would retain his services again any time, and I have recommended him to anyone who has asked me about an attorney.

    Laurence: I appreciate that you always took my calls and made yourself available. So many people "hide" behind their secretaries, but I always found you ready and willing to answer questions. In all my life's troubling times you have stood there as my rock. I truly respect the person that you are and truly appreciate all that you have done for me and my family. I am happy to not only call you my trusted attorney but also my friend.
    - J.V. and family.
    "If you want the best, then you want Laurence Silverman."
    Having worked for Larry for nearly half a decade, I have witnessed first hand his relentless dedication to his clients. His passion to get the best results for every case is unwavering. My belief in his abilities is so strong that I continually recommend my own family and friends to his care. If you want the best, then you want Laurence Silverman.
