What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it
LFL Certified 2026
Scored 72 out of 100 on measured evidence, above the 70 this tier requires, with every eligibility gate its state allows us to check cleared.
4.8 average over 130 reviews
A high rating is easy at low volume and hard to hold at this one. Pillar C scores it against the market rather than against five stars.
Service in Spanish
Published by the firm on its own pages, which is how this was measured rather than assumed from a name.
18 results published
Across 9 case types on the firm's own site. We read the page and counted what is on it; the amounts are the firm's and we have not confirmed them.

G1 LicensureNo answer in the record7 of 8 named attorneys are currently registered and none of those carries an adverse status. 1 other name(s) match a register entry that does: David Silverman shares a name with one of 8 registrations, one of them suspended, due to reregister. That entry cannot be tied to this firm's attorney and cannot be ruled out either, so the gate is held open rather than decided.
G2 DisciplineNo answer in the recordNone of the 7 attorneys we identified carries a disciplinary status. 1 name(s) we could not identify share a name with a registration that does, David Silverman among 8 namesakes. Held open.
