Marcia was absolutely fantastic and helped me get through an extremely difficult and unfamiliar situation. While I don't have much experience/exposure with lawyers, it was immediately evident that out of the 5 different lawyers that I spoke with, Marcia was clearly the front runner. She was efficient, honest and clear with our strategy and I witnessed first hand how she went above and beyond. Her follow-up was relentless. Her attitude was always positive, but realistic. In the end, all charges got dropped and I am confident that Marcia played a significant role.

If I could give Marcia more then five stars, I would. I know plenty of attorneys. I know plenty of other professionals in businesses where client service, professionalism and decency are what really makes an impact in people's lives. Marcia is all of those things and more. From calling me back on a Sunday night, to rearranging her Monday, to being thorough and leaving no question unanswered she was amazing for me. She knows her craft and, more then that, knows people. With Marcia I feel confident in saying you will have an ally and someone who has your back - not just a lawyer.

I am very satisfied for being represented by Marcia Silver. This is my first experience with any Legal process in my entire life and she explained to me the process that I will be going through and helped me understands all the details. I had no Idea what I would be going against, but she was always there for me when i needed help. I would highly recommended here ! Thank you Marcia!

Ms Silver knows her defense law! Because she was a prosecutor in the past. I hired her to defend a first time offense. She made it disappear quicly and painlessly. I highly recommend her!

I was able to win my Restraining Order Case because of Marcia Silver. Every Lawyer I spoke to told me I had very little chance of winning. Marcia took a different approach and her tactics worked. She helped me every step of the way and and was very dedicated to making sure we fight this battle. She is an expert and because of her I WON THE CASE! When you are looking or searching for a Lawyer, you want the Best. You want someone who is going to fight for you and win. After searching, googling, yelping for a long time to find the best lawyer, I found Marcia Sliver. I read the reviews and I decided to give her a call for a quote and tell her my case. After speaking with her, I knew this was it. She specializes in many different areas, criminal, DUI, ect.. but mine was a restraining order. When we deal with the law, possible records, or consequences it can be extremely stressful and yes depressing. I was scared. Lawyers are just suppose to guide you, but not Marcia. She called me to check in almost every week, she was understanding, encouraging, responsive, and brought a human kindness throughout this process that it helped me stay optimistic. I don't like writing reviews because I just don't have the time. Reading the testimonials is how I selected her, so I hope this helps for anyone reading it. She has a unique approach that can expedite the legal process. She has over 25 years of experience and she is an expert in handling all type of cases. If you want the best shot at winning your case, hire her. It's a competitive market out there with a bunch of lawyers with great reviews, but what makes her stand out is she is aggressive, intelligent, knows how to work the judge and the other parities, and can help alleviate the stress which is what we all need sometimes. I was scared about my situation and I didn't know what to do, I just wanted a strong lawyer who can battle for me, with Marcia I got that.

I got in a really bad situation where I was charge with 3 felonies. I got arrested and while I was in jail my family by friend recommendation hired Marcia Silver. They paid $15000 flat fee which was supposed to cover everything from A to Z - this is why they went with a flat fee in the first case. I was arrested and jailed in November 2010. I was released on bail 21 days later after Marcia reduced $100000 bail to $40000. As soon as I was free I had a meeting with Marcia in her office. I should have noticed how unorganized her paperwork was at the time. She told me she will need additional $3000 for the investigator. We are down $18000 already if you keep score. She started working on my case. Every time when I had a meeting with her she mentions that she needs to go over her notes (Why not before meeting?!?) I didn't feel that she really working it. I'm not sure if she had some personal stuff going on in her life (remodeling, boyfriend, etc) and frankly don't really care. I relied on her to be a professional which she wasn't at the time in my opinion. The biggest shock came right before the preliminary hearing. She told me that we have to redo contract and for another $7500 she will represent me further. (????????). I refused to agree on the spot. A preliminary hearing was over and my case was sent to superior court for further prosecution. Which means $18000 was not a good investment. Or should I say invest in the wrong stock? The above was written many years ago but never posted. I just adjusted it a little. After 4 years (yes I was convicted) my English came up a notch. Here are some afterthoughts: Overall what I'm trying to say - and this comes 6 years later after everything happened that there are so many lawyers who will be much more helpful and attentive. If I knew what I know now back then I would never have dealt with Silver. She simply took advantage of the situation. She really misled my loved ones and let us all believe that she is on top of this. And the price situation is simply unethical. Do not hire her. There are better and less expensive lawyers out there. She probably will reply with a statement saying that I knew the what was the agreement through our contract - which I didn't, or at least was under impression that she will be there with me until the end. I asked her numerous times what other costs will be involved by the way, and I was assured that this is it. Also I'm sure she will mention that she didn't get paid and this is why she went as far as preliminary hearing - as a lawyer, the officer of the court she was obligated to explain what court system is like and what to expect, however she didn't. And she got paid. $18000 to be exact plus other small expanses I am not even going to mention. Once again I will say - she simply took advantage of the situation. No matter what she will say or how many positive reviews she had in the past. I am writing this 6+ years later. I am older and I have changed a lot. The reason for this review so many years later to prevent someone who is already in trouble to get "scammed"... well "scammed" probably a harsh term here. The reason is to prevent someone to experience same disappointment as I did. There are many many great lawyers out there. To hire a good one is a full time job. But it is your life. And is worth it. By the way.. I just won a Habeas Corpus, for who don't know what it is - it is a reversal of your conviction. You do what you think is right for you but keep an open mind.
