Attorney Silverstein is an excellent lawyer! She is very knowledgeable and thorough. She was exceptional during the hearing, making her voice heard and knowing every detail about the case. I appreciate all the time she put into my case. I Would highly recommend Attorney Silverstein!

Paula is seriously the best attorney you could ever have. I lucked out finding her because she is more then just an attorney. Not only does she work hard and gives it everything she has, but she actually cares about you as her client. It isn’t all about the money. She truly is an amazing person inside and out. I am proud to say that she is not only my lawyer but is also a friend. Paula and her husband Benard are just absolutely incredible. My life has been forever changed since I decided to hire Paula! I had a two day trial for custody for my son and WE WON! Going into court is always an uneasy feeling. I must say she really works so hard and is more prepared to help you then you could ever imagine. If you want this kind of service it is exactly what you get! Paula and her entire staff are unbelievable. If you need help she is a MUST HIRE!

Paula is very detailed, honest and takes all considerations when taking on a client. She presents the potential outcomes and is extremely knowledgeable of the applicable laws. If your looking for a strong advocate to letigate your case, look no further than Attorney Silverstein. We hired her without hesitation on 3 separate occasions and couldn't be more pleased! I wouldn't be surprised to see her in a future Guardians of the Galaxy Movie as she protects the interests of others that seek her services :)

I hired Paula Silverstein for custody of my son and she was amazing. She walked me through the process and stuck to what was needed to be successful at winning custody. Her experience, knowledge, and drive to do what she felt was right prevailed throughout the entire trial and we won. I put the well being and future of my son in Paula's hands and she came through. I couldn't be more appreciative. Thank you Paula!!!

Paula was there for me every step of the way! She was never afraid to go on the offensive and dig deep to get results. Hiring Paula to work my divorce and child custody was the best thing I could have done! I have referred several other family, friends and co-workers because I know she's all ways looking out for their best interest! Paula has always kept mine and my children's best interest in mind. Even while I was deployed her team fought for my best interest. If I had to do it all over again I would most assuredly hire Paula.

Ms. Silverstein and her office staff treat you like family. From my first appointment I knew I chose the right attorney to represent me. Attorney Silverstein was always available and even communicated in the evenings when the day was spent in court. She totally gets the dynamics as it relates to women and the disparity that continues to exist in the legal system. She always spoke honestly and presented the facts and her advice and counsel in a way that I always felt fully informed and comfortable. She and her staff are an extended family. I would highly recommend Ms. Silverstein without reservation!

We are so impressed with Paula's communication style. Whenever we contact her or her staff, we are always well informed of the latest updates having to deal with our case. She is honest and gives us excellent advice and always on a timely basis. She was recommended to us by a friend who guaranteed us that we would be satisfied and we are extremely pleased with th results! She is so easy to talk to, always giving us explanations in easy terms to understand. Both my husband and I have referred at least three other clients to her firm, all being very pleased with their results. I would absolutely recommend retaining Paula for your legal needs!

I hired Paula to handle the mediation portion of my divorce. Many aspects of how she handled the case impressed me. When my ex-husband and his counsel dragged their feet, purposely or not, she could motivate them to move forward. The communicattion between Paula, her paralegal, and myself was very good. Paula took time on the weekends to address my concerns, particularly if she could not contact me during the weekdays due to being in court. Paula did a great job of revising the Marriage Settlement Agreement to protect my interests. Paula is professional and personable. She showed me compassion, yet still communicated to me what was realistic and practical. I admired how she fought for my rights and a fair settlement. I made a good decision in hiring Paula Silverstein!

I decided to hire Paula to handle my divorce and child support matter. I had the immediate impression of receiving the best support in all aspects of my case. She handled herself with broad knowledge and the necessary personal compassion that was needed. Her level of utmost discretion was very much appreciated throughout the entire process. Her experienced advise and proper execution was always intended. She acknowledged the facts of pain associated with making rational decisions and supported with appropriate direction always staying on course to bring the matter to end benefitting her client.

I cannot express in words how wonderful Paula and her team of professionals were to have on my side while dealing with our custody situation. The guidance and support she provided to us was the peace of mind we needed during the stressful time. I took comfort in knowing no matter the day of week or time of day, Paula would immediately respond to my questions and concerns. Her performance in the courtroom is nothing short of mind-blowing. Paula has stuck by my family for over five years and has done nothing but provide us with excellent service! The Ilkhanoff and Silverstein firm is a part of our family because they care for us like family.
