When my therapist finally convinced me to apply for disability I had already eaten through my savings in denial and was in a pretty bad place (though thankfully was safe and had a roof over my head, but I wasn't doing very well otherwise). I was overwhelmed and not sure how to proceed. My mother is a nurse so she asked around for colleagues who knew about the process, and one recommended Mr. Silverman - that was the best stroke of luck I could have asked for.
He was thorough and businesslike, on top of everything, kept meticulous records and chased every possible avenue. But he was also patient with me, sympathetic, and possessed of a humanity and no-nonsense humbleness you wish you could get in your doctors let alone your attorney. I probably felt more embarrassed about my situation than he did, and he tirelessly did the necessary research not only to know exactly what to do, what I was entitled to by law, and how to go about it, but also what things I needed to focus on to make sure the proper authoritative channels understood my situation in a way that was meaningful to them (important when you're an adult with a late ADHD diagnosis- he sifted through my chatter and knew which things were the needed information and which were not).
Through the whole long process, he was there getting things done, rolling with the inevitable snags and figuring out how to get over those hurdles, and keeping me up to date on what was happening, even letting me know now and then he was still on things just because it had been a while and we were still waiting. I never could have done it on my own, but I'm also confident he went above and beyond and strongly recommend specifically this man to help you out with legal advice. Knowing I had him in my corner kept me calm through the journey and I recently got my first disability payment, which hopefully will be the start of me getting a better handle on my health now that the millstone of supporting myself is lifted from my shoulders.
When he told me these reviews helped others find him I couldn't click the page fast enough. Hire him, I promise you won't be sorry, and I want him to be successful and happy forever because he really helped me out through something very difficult, and I don't care if it is his job I'll be grateful forever, he did a great job and he's a good bloke in my book.

I went to Mr. Silverman after losing my first appeal for disability, as most people do. Sam explained the processes, what he would be doing, kept me informed as the case moved along thru the appeals process to a successful conclusion in a hearing in front of a judge.
He made the whole process simple for me, did what he said he was going to do, and was open and honest about costs. I can't thank him enough.

Silverman won my case. I was afraid I would lose my case again before I met Silverman. I worked for the Federal Government for over 10years. I was basically forced to resign while on medical leave due to the denying of FF/Medical leave etc. I worried that my case would continue to be mishandled. I needed an attorney who didn't fear to battle the bias things that was happening with my case as result of being an ex fed. Silverman was the attorney for the job. I explained to Silverman my fears about the handling of the case. Silverman assured me not to worry that he has seen it all before. As I thought, the case was being mishandled by employees whom I once worked with who didn't follow proper handling guidelines. Silverman again assured me that his job is to deal with them and again for me not to worry about anything. Finally I had found an attorney I knew I could trust. An attorney that isn't intimidated. An attorney who put faith back in me that regardless of what was going on, my case would not be discriminated against on his watch. An attorney who fought strong, fair, and by the book. Silverman called to tell me that I had won the case, but I knew I had won the day I met Silverman when he calmed my fears about the case. To have an attorney I could trust meant the world to me. I finally felt like my voice was being heard. Silverman is a great example of integrity. I had lost all hope of getting justice before Silverman. Thank God... my father had given me a silver dollar piece when I was younger. I always knew the value in the Silverman this is what caught my attention while I was searching for an attorney.
Justice was finally served
thanks to Silverman.... K

Sam worked hard on my case and didn't give up. If I ever had a question all I had to do was call and he would get back with me if he wasn't available. I felt safe and comfortable with him working for me as times I felt overwhelmed with all the paperwork involved. I would recommend Sam to be your attorney.

I hired Sam after being denied at the reconsideration stage. He was very professional and competent on every level of the process. He always returned my phone calls which absolutely amazed me, especially after having an inept lawyer that was always "too busy" to return phone calls. He is very good at what he does and put my mind at ease. His staff was very friendly and helpful which I was appreciative of. I have MS and have declined over the years. He won my SSDI case January 2021! I highly recommend Sam over anyone else! Thank you.

I filed for disability in October of 2019 due to an autoimmune disorder that was uncontrollable with medication, and was denied in April of 2020. I almost didn't fight it, thinking there was no way I could possibly win based on the opinions of state doctors who are completely unfamiliar with my case, which was what happened with my initial denial. I decided to fight it, and found Mr. Silverman through a quick Google search. He was the first and only attorney I called, and I'm so glad I did. He got right to work, I was granted a hearing in January, and was approved on the spot. I hardly had to lift a finger through the entire process, and given that I ended up having major surgery in August, that was a huge comfort. I would 100% recommend him to anyone going through a similar experience. He was extremely professional, easy to contact and communicate with, and always kept me informed as to what was going on with my case. I truly cannot thank him enough.

After filing for social security benefits twice, Mr. Silverman was able to get me my benefits. He was very encouraging, understanding, and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. I will definitely call Sam again, if a situation arises.

I have multiple migraines a week, neuropathy, prominent osteoarthritis, mid lower lumbar levels with bone Spurs in my neck, and feet. Muscle spasms all over my body, usually in my legs and feet! Mr. Silverman took my case with no question asked! He assured me he would do his best to fight for me, and to bring all this information to the judge! I didn’t think I would win, the courts have denied me twice! With in 30 days Mr.Silverman had a court date for the judge, and we won! I cried so hard, it’s been a long tough journey! I cannot work, I can’t even stand to take a shower! This man has changed my life, he is amazing! I know if I need him in the future he will be there! He has told me he is saving my file, just in case I might need him for my 3 year review for SSI! Their office is open from 8am to 8 pm, and they work every minute for the people! I can’t say enough for this firm and Mr. Silverman God Bless him
