Joseph Williams Esq. was our attorney for a very difficult time in our lives, he was very professional and preparing for our case, explaining all details and gave us hope, so pleased with results my husband and I would highly recommend and have done so. Also let us know there were other services provided by their can provide and let us know he would be there for us again if needed.

As an attorney myself, there is no one I would recommend more than Lorraine SIlverman and her colleagues. Her communication, preparedness, and zealous advocacy got me through one of the most difficult times of my life. I have, and will continue, to refer anyone who is in need of the services this firm provides to CDS Law Firm!!!

Spoke to the receptionist over 2 weeks ago, she was very nice and transferred me to a colleague's voicemail. I never received a return phone call, therefore will be going elsewhere for services!

If you need a lawyer to adopt or like me just get a love ones affairs in order they are kind and caring in both aspects.

Very personable and professional.

Excellent attention to detail.

I called Copps DiPaola Silverman PLLC for consultation for divorce and the lady who answered took my detailed information said she was “running a system check” and would call me back. She never called back. If you don’t want to be discriminated against don’t choose this law firm. Fortunately another albany area law firm will receive my funds for service.

I was disappointed in my services with this law office. I hired them to create a prenup. My fiance had to hire one also, as they did not offer mediation services. They lawyer I worked with (Silverman) simply failed to understand what I was requesting for a prenup. My fiance's lawyer had to suggest rewrites several times as my lawyer kept trying to update the prenup, but then she kept wording the document in a more convoluted way. In the end, I was charged for those rewrites, even though they were a result of her failure to understand my requests. I won't go into detail, but they were pretty simple requests! Lesson learned, more expensive does not mean better when it comes to lawyers.

Excellent service. Kathleen (Casey) did our estate planning documents. Efficient, professional, easy process and quick turn around time. Friendly staff and great office environment.

I cannot say enough good things about Copps DiPaola Silverman LLC. I was treated with kindness and respect with all of the staff there that I came into contact with. I hired Lorraine Silverman to handle a custody matter after the attorney I had been working with at another firm dismissed some of my concerns. I am SO glad I switched! Lorraine is PHENOMENAL. I know she is extremely busy, however she made it feel like my case was her #1 priority with the time and attention to detail she spent. She was responsive, thorough, compassionate, and didn't make me feel silly for asking questions. She really takes the time to listen and make sure you are heard. And seeing her in the court room....watch out! She is fierce in all the wonderful ways you would want from your attorney. During my time working with Lorraine, I had a support issue come up so I started working with Kayla Leder who handles that area of law. Kayla was also PHENOMENAL! Her attention to detail was superb, she was kind, and she was also looking out for my best interests. At one point she explained one of the options I had, but she was honest about the fact that would be the more expensive route. I appreciated that she was up front about that. In the end, both Lorraine and Kayla helped get me to where I wanted to be with my custody and support orders. I would HIGHLY recommend this firm!

I am deeply disappointed in how poorly my surrogacy journey was handled, so I would not recommend Kathleen.
