I was thrown around between her and 2 of her associates. I paid thousands for them to file something that ended up being in the wrong jurisdiction and was dismissed. They were evidently aware of this but never mentioned it to me. In review of my bill, I was charged for explaining the same thing to 3 lawyers. If you look at their reviews, a lot are from family members.

I retained Lorraine to assist with a custody matter. She over-promised during an initial consultation and was unable to produce a viable legal strategy. Total waste of time and money. I had to start from scratch and was able to achieve my goals without the help of an attorney.

I highly recommend Copps Dipaola Silverman for your highly emotional hardships relating to the separation of relationships, families and the dividing of lives. In my experience, through the trial and error of other firms, Copps Dipaola Silverman firm became my tribe when I needed one the most. Each member extremely motivated, compassionate, highly knowledgable, skilled and strong. They made my voice count, worked above and beyond to be availible during each critical moment, and helped to realistacally focus my energy into what was the best outcome for my family and I. I would recommend them highly, and can't thank them enough for how their professional help has touched my life forever.

Lorraine Silverman was assigned to me by the Albany NY County Family Court to assist in a modification of my child custody. I must say that she was very professional, knowledgeable and gave me excellent service. She was able to assist me in requesting for the Judge to change my custody agreement to allow me to move with my child out of State to be closer to family as I am here alone with my children and my daughter's father is not actively or consistent with visitation, child support or parenting. I am very grateful for all the advice that I received from her.

She and her colleagues were very helpful and attentive. They understand what it's like to work with abusive and controlling spouses/exes and cater responses accordingly - other lawyers treat them like "reasonable" people but they are anything but, and need to be dealt with differently.

Lorraine alone is a very kind hearted and wonderful person. she takes her job very seriously and is out to fight for what needs to be done. in my situation my husband up and abandoned my three children and me. she was able to take on my case with out a doubt. she was there day and night when I needed her. there wasn't a time where she didn't show up next to me in court or when I had a question she explained everything before I signed and walked me through it step by step. the money was well worth spent. she def puts her own feelings into her cases. her office is very friendly as well and all work together great! thank you Lorraine for all you did for my family in this tough time !

Lorraine Silverman went above and beyond of what I was expecting from a lawyer. From the first consultation until the very end of my case, she was fully engaged, attentive, diligent, never leaving a question unanswered, never dismissing any of my concerns, always looking out for my best interests while making it cristal clear what were the options available. I really felt that I had in her someone that was not only advocating for me, but was also there to guide me. When the emotions could compromise my judgment, she made sure that I understood every step and consequences of my choices and did so professionally, but also demonstrating that she cared. Going through a divorce it is difficult not matter what. Amicably or not, it's a deconstruction process, it is emotional and painful regardless. Having a lawyer of her caliber was a gift. Highly recommended!

I cannot express my gratitude enough for what Lorraine Silverman did for my family and I. I had attempted a DIY divorce and had come across plenty of obstacles between the communications with my ex husband and my understanding of the paperwork, it took me over two years to get as far as I could and I was still unable to achieve my goal. After just one meeting with Mrs. Silverman at her office, she talked me through what my goals were with my divorce and she was able not only to understand what I was going through but to complete the paperwork that I was missing and get my divorce finalized in a matter of one month! I was amazed at how efficiently she accomplished what took me two years to do on my own, I am eternally grateful for her assistance in my divorce.

I worked with Lorraine during a very difficult time in my life. She helped me through my divorce by making navigating this overwhelming process understandable. She treated me like a friend- with kindness and respect. I can't say enough good about her and how much she helped me. Several years have passed now and all of it seems like a distant memory, but I really wouldn't be here without her help.

Lorraine Silverman is a good luck charm for me.she is too hard working,honest,intelligent and great attorney.she is one of the attorney who cares for clients feelings than money.i was going through hell because of my husband for my Childs custody and she helped me and guided me as a friend finally I got sole ,physical custody of my daughter.Thank you so much.

Lorraine was absolutely wonderful. She took the time to listen to me,provided me with a very detailed separation/divorce agreement that worked for both my ex-husband and i. I would highly recommend her for matrimonial and other legal issues. She has helped me with tenant issues and my will as well. She is the first person i call when i need legal advice.

I have co-counseled with Lorraine on a complex family law and matrimonial matter and have found her to be dedicated and professional. She is an excellent litigator who will do what is necessary for her client and yet with a practical touch necessary to obtain results. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a highly competent matrimonial or family law attorney without reservation.
