Hired Law Firm

Mr. Silverman assisted me with a free consult and gave me resources to help my devaluation of vehicle situation. I have had many attorneys in the past, unfortunately lol, and most will just take your money and not deliver. If this situation develops to the level of needing an attorney, I will retain Mr. Silverman for his services. He seemed well versed in his field and I have confidence he will get me a settlement in my favor should I require further assistance.

Hired Law Firm

My husband & I sought out legal counsel last April of 2010. Since that time we have been represented by Jeffrey Friedman of Silverman, McDonald & Friedman. We have received fast, friendly, responsive, heart felt service. Jeff & his assistant Nilza treat us with respect & dignity. We matter to them. They have been quick with any questions we have, any answers we may need, & basically all areas of concern we have had. They are an outstanding team & we solidly recommend them to anyone.

Hired Law Firm

Jeff Freidman is abhorrently rude, dismissive, and an ineffective attorney. Freidman left the plaintiff to file and pursue the brain injury case themselves, after Freidman toyed with their time and gaslight the neurologically injured victim as being "vague". I would not recommend this attorney and thankfully they were not retained and would have screwed up this case. Please look elsewhere.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
