Richard F. Silber

Attorney at Law

I started my firm in 1991 with the intent of making a difference in the lives of others when they need it most. I spent years working at bigger firms and learning a lot. At the end of the day, though, my core desire was to give my clients more one-on-one attention — and now that's exactly what I get to do.

How do you know if you should file a personal injury claim?

You most likely have a personal injury case if you were injured due to negligence, causation, or product liability.

Negligence refers to being injured as a direct result of someone else's improper actions or inactions. Causation applies to situations in which an injury is a result of an individual or a company's actions. Product liability pertains to matters where the injury is due to a product failing to meet recognized safety standards. If your injury involved one of these types of scenarios, then you have grounds to file a personal injury lawsuit and seek out the full and fair compensation that is legally owed to you.

In terms of who can be sued, filing a personal injury claim isn't limited to any one type of business or profession. Doctors, caretakers, law enforcement officers, and everyday people are all liable and should be held responsible if they played a part in causing your injury. Some of the personal injury cases I take on involve slips and falls, premise liability, and police brutality. That being said, don't hesitate to give me a call if you believe I can help you, too.

You don't have to handle this on your own.

More than just a law firm

When it comes to serving you, I believe in doing just that — serving you. One of the benefits of working with me is that I genuinely care about your well-being beyond financial compensation. I aim to be compassionate and committed as I cater to your overall needs as my client and as a person.

Over three decades of experience

Let's face it. One of the most important factors in hiring an attorney is being absolutely certain he or she has the background to fit the bill. I graduated from law school in 1981 and went on to work for bigger firms where I was able to soak up a wealth of knowledge and build upon my skills as an attorney. Ten years later, I opened my own firm where I could couple all I had learned with my personal values. Taking this into account, I know I'm the right attorney for your case.

Genuinely invested in your well-being

As I stated before, your well-being is a big deal to me. Whether you're pushing through a personal injury or navigating how to deal with the emotional trauma caused by losing someone you love because of wrongful death, I'm here for you. I don't ignore the fact that your case requires gentleness and care. I can take on the legal affairs while you focus on healing.
