Zabeth Chase
Can’t say enough about this law firm! Kayla was wonderful to work with. She took incredible care of me and my daughter during an incredibly difficult time. Casey handled my estate planning. She was thorough and thoughtful The entire group is so considerate and helpful. I highly recommend this law firm.

Kayla and her team were phenomenal. They managed a combination of cases that spanned over 9+ years of records and data. The personal care was punctuated when at the close of my case unbeknownst to them they sent a thank you/take care package that arrived just days after the passing of a significant member of our family. Never expected that of a law firm but made our day. We needed kind words and wishes for better days…thank you!

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 help has touched my life forever.

I highly recommend the law firm of Copps, DiPaola, and Silverman to anyone. My experience with the attorney, Kayla Leder, the paralegal and the receptionist was very positive. Each woman that I dealt with was kind and professional. I was made to feel very comfortable from my first visit to my last during a very stressful and difficult time in my life. This is a caring and compassionate law firm while being professional and knowledgeable in the law.

Lorraine and her office are wonderful. I hired her and her team seeking full sole custody of my child due to concerns of her safety. Before I hired Lorraine, the people I went to for help were not listening to my concerns or acknowledging the clear evidence that my child was in harms way. Lorraine had all of those people at my beckoned call wanting to help where they pushed me away before. She is extremely knowledgeable and has been mine and my child’s biggest advocate through a very scary and difficult situation. Thanks to her knowledge, caring heart, and being a shark in the court room, I now have peace of mind that my child will always be safe and full sole custody. Thank you!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueLorraine Silverman is a one-of-a-kind attorney. Anyone dealing with family court is, inevitably, dealing with probably one of the most stressful and taxing times in their lives. As busy and demanding of a career that Lorraine has, she has a way of making you feel like you are the only client she has. She takes the time to learn your case completely, takes the time to answer any questions and concerns you may have, and is extremely responsive and diligent with her work. I’ve never seen an attorney as devoted to her clients and as patient and understanding as Lorraine is. She takes the time to explain things thoroughly and makes herself available as often as she can. I had gone to Lorraine after a bad experience with a former attorney, and she got straight to work and made leaps of progress that was not made by my previous attorney. She is a go-getter and extremely intelligent. I highly recommend.Lorraine Silverman is a one-of-a-kind attorney.

Positive: Professionalism, ResponsivenessI can’t put into words my gratitude for this team of great woman who represented me during my custody, support and divorce cases. If you have been through any of these court proceedings you know how stressful and draining they can be. Whether it be emails, phone calls or text messages they were always very quick to respond and take action quickly when needed. Professional, supportive, honest, efficient and feisty are just a few words to describe this team (law firm) I was not just a client or a case file, I was a human being on an emotional roller coaster and every email/phone call was taken seriously no matter how minor it may have been. These women went above and beyond my expectations. I would like to mention a very important event that showed what this team is really all about. A special recognition if you will to Rebecca Wager. It was 4am and I needed help/guidance thru a very stressful situation. The night before this said event a cured Rebecca assured me that she would keep her phone by her bedside if I needed her assistance. Sure enough it was 4am, I called her and she answered on the first ring. She stayed on the phone with me for over 2 hours guiding me thru this stressful event and she was still there well after to help with my emotional state! Like I said before, above and beyond my expectations! Lorraine Silverman, Rebecca Wager and the rest of the team. I truly can’t thank you enough. If I could give 100 stars I would.Lacie PlunkettI can’t put into words my gratitude for this team of great woman who represented me during my custody, support and divorce cases.
