Alan is a superlative lawyer and an absolute joy to work with. His depth of knowledge of the court system and Family Code made him utterly indispensable to me. He's a guy you can lean on.

Alan's law partner, Claudia, was also very supportive and helpful reviewing materials with me. They make a great team!

Alan is a tank -- he doesn't get stopped by trivialities and negligible details. He is unwavering in the court room (even though my nerves were completely shot) and supportive beyond any measure.

Alan clearly loves his work and never loses sight of justice. He doesn't give you false hope or false optimism; he'll give it to you straight. He's also a very compassionate person, which is refreshing. If I ever have a civil matter in the future, Alan will be the first person that I call because I know that I'll get balanced, objective counsel.

I cannot thank Alan enough for the excellent work he did with my case. Even though the circumstances leading me to Alan were unpleasant, I thoroughly enjoyed working with Alan on my case. Alan was a crutch to me and my family through difficult times, and he got me the win that I needed and deserved!

Alan was meant to be my attorney! I began my divorce process in 2009. When I started the process, I had, supposedly, one of the best attorneys in San Francisco for divorces. That was a disaster! The main attorney barely worked on my case. I was handed off to someone who would not listen to me and basically gave into my ex’s attorney. I found Alan through the yellow pages! Yes, the actual phone book! Alan’s background in psychology was exactly what I was looking for. I didn’t think someone who was a psychologist and attorney would exist! My case is probably the worst case Alan and Claudia has ever seen. Fast forward 5 years. Alan and Claudia are not just great attorneys but they are great people! I have given up hope so many times during the last 5 years, but Alan has continued to give me hope and support. Alan knows my finances are tight but he continues to advise me and helps me minimize my bills. Alan understands the “mind games” my ex plays on my daughters and helps me form a game plan. Both Alan and Claudia are accessible after hours and on weekends. I have gone through some extremely rough situations the past 5 years, and each time I needed to reach them, they were available. They are compassionate, empathetic, honest, and very straight forward. Alan will tell you exactly what he thinks is the best course of action for your case. I have learned a lot from both Alan and Claudia. Given the way my ex is, I’m sure I will continue to need Alan and Claudia on my side for the next 9 years! There are no other attorneys I would like on my side!

I seldom write reviews, but given my unique experience with Alan and Claudia, I feel I must let others know that good attorneys still exist. Alan and Claudia are extremely ethical and professional attorneys. What sets them apart from the rest, however, is their empathy and loyalty to their clients. Alan and Claudia are NOT just about the money. They are in it because they care. When I came to see Alan I had been through 2 attorneys, my case was a mess, but he still gave me hope and decided to take my case when others would not even consider it. The emotional support Alan and Claudia provide to their clients is rare to find in their field. My first attorney lacked professionalism and knowledge about all aspects of family law. My second attorney was from a well-known and large firm in the south bay that specializes in litigation. They were extremely expensive, and showed care about me and my case when I had the money. However, it was a different story when I run out of money and it was almost certain I would not get awarded attorney's fees from the judge given that they had awarded this large firm $150,000 that they immediately exhausted in just a 3 month period. This large, "reputable" and well-known firm, discharged me with absolutely no basis other than, I suspect, they knew the judge would not award them another large fee. I was then referred to Alan by another mother who had a very good experience with him. Alan was different. I had absolutely no money when I came to see him. He took a chance with me, but he cared about justice. He believe that fairness should prevail and he would help me achieve the best outcome possible for my situation. My case is still ongoing, but I can tell you that Alan has done more t than just fight for me and my children. He has given me hope and the belief that there are still honest and good people in this world. Alan is very much to the point and deals with honesty, so if you are not prepared to deal with him in this manner, then he is not the right attorney for you.

Alan Silverman is compassionate, insightful, and fair. His understanding of complex cases makes him a “go to” attorney. He is available to handle difficult cases. I was able to reach him on weekends. He was available to accommodate my schedule. He always returned my calls. He is a trained psychologist, so you get the best of both worlds. He worked with me on legal fees.

I could not have been more satisfied. The service was professional, prompt, and sensitively handled. The cost was reasonable and appropriate. I cannot recommend their services more highly.

"In 2005, I was faced with the need to find a family law attorney to help me navigate through all the do's and don't's of an unwanted divorce. I am so glad I chose Mr. Silverman to represent me because he was able and well qualified to help me obtain a fair settlement on complicated property and custody issues without causing resentment between the two parties. I would recommend Mr. Silverman not only for his knowledge of family law but also because of his training as a psychologist and his genuine care for my children's well being. It is now 2013 and Mr. Silverman is still giving me helpful advice about my case." DC
