Overall Jeffrey Silence was great to talk to for my initial consult. He was personable and professional yet down to earth and easy to communicate with. He was not intimidating the way you would expect from a lawyer and I felt very comfortable talking to him. I would absolutely use him in the unfortunate situation where my scenario needs more representation. I wrote fair for "worth the money" because in general seeking counsel is expensive so its hard to say what it is worth. I will say that I am not an attorney for a reason so he definitely deserves what he gets.

Jeffrey was far more than a lawyer. He was a counselor and therapist to help me process the issues at hand. It was amazing to have him listen to everything and be able to know what was a legal matter and what was more of an internal one.

My wife and I contacted an attorney that we found off a lawyer search site and he stated that he knew of an attorney that he spoke so highly of and that would better suit our needs. That attorney was Jeff Silence. We couldn't have been more pleased with the recommendation. Before our consultation, we had so much uncertainty and anxiety, since we've never had to speak with a lawyer before. Afterward, we were so confident with how knowledgeable and professional he was that it gave my wife and I the peace of mind that we were longing for.

Jeff wrote our employee handbook at our law firm, and provided us with a lot of answers to our questions. He was a pleasure to work with through the whole process.

I would say my case is kind of unique, because it covers all sorts of employment law contract and labor laws. Though the nature of my case is unique it was not a problem in the for Jeff Silence he is hands down the best attorney I’ve ever spoken to. Not only did he give his recommendation on how to proceed through the various routes, he explained in great detail how we are going to handle this situation. I would recommend him to my family and friends. His steadfast commitment to customer service and dedication to helping his clients is second to none.

I had a complicated legal matter with my previous employer. I felt way in over my head and overmatched. I sought help and found Jeff. We sat and went over the details of the coming case. I left feeling confident and hopeful. I am grateful to Jeff and the team for their hard work in getting me great settlement. To this day, I cannot thank them enough. Jeff pays special attention to detail, offers much knowledge/advice, and keeps good communication with us.

Unfortunately, I had to seek legal advice for employment and this law office was excellent. Jeff came highly recommend from a veteran lawyer that was about to retire. He responded quickly and set an appointment withing days of our call. Jeff is straightforward about the situation and my options while still maintaining empathy and compassion. All my questions were answered and communication made me feel informed and constantly aware of what was going on. I would highly recommend Jeff to friends and family.
