Empathetic and fierce defender of client interests, Elaine immediately understood my needs across a variety of dimensions. She educated me to the various processes available beyond litigious acrimonious separations. She helped me move my thinking and grow into a set of options that made my situation go from intractable and uncomfortable, to positive and hopeful. Her fees are standard, but she puts in the work necessary to earn them; really demonstrating her value. This is including going above and beyond in terms of advocating for the client and interacting with my counterparty's legal and all our collaborative divorce team. Beyond this, Elaine's got a high EQ and calm demeanor which helps her become highly empathetic to the client while yet gently advising and mediating along the most assertive path towards real mutual collaboration.

Wow. Called the office spoke to Mrs. silver herself and just wow. Get ready to pay $400 right off the bat for a consultation. Most attorneys have $0 consultation fees. Explained a bit to her about my current situation and was basically laughed off like everything I was saying was a joke. Very unprofessional and uneducated. Save yourself your time and go with someone else. Obviously quite a few people have paid her rediculous fees so she doesn’t need anymore income than that! Lol what a joke

Michael Manning PLLC was incredibly helpful during the most challenging emotional and legal period of my life. He assisted me with a challenging divorce. Although few are completely happy with the outcome of a divorce, he helped me settle the case in a reasonable manner out of court. I have recommended, and will continue to recommend, the firm to others in need of family law services.

Elaine Silver is an excellent attorney and mediator. Her peaceful approach to divorce is vastly superior to the adversarial alternative. Furthermore, from the first phone call, Elaine will speak with you personally and will remain committed to help you during this time in your life.

Thank you so very much for the exceptional job you did in representing me during my recent divorce. You demonstrated wisdom, intelligence and grace during this entire ordeal. You employed the highest standard of professionalism when dealing with opposing counsel and acted as a calm and steady voice of reason during a most difficult and stressful time. Also, you have been beyond fair and equitable regarding billing for time spent. That aspect of this experience has been recognized and greatly appreciated. Thank you for that. You demonstrated a genuine empathy for my situation and I felt you always had MY best interest in mind. I couldn’t have asked for more principled and honest representation or a better advocate throughout this entire process.
