"I want to sincerely thank Patrick Seidel at Silverman Thompson for everything he did for me during one of the most difficult times of my life. From the very first phone call, he jumped into my case with energy and determination. He was always available to answer his phone, no matter the time, and he never once made me feel like my questions or concerns were a burden. Patrick took the time to explain every detail of what was happening, what to expect, and the possible outcomes, which gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout the process. What stood out the most was how he fought for me like it was personal. From day one, he told me what the best-case scenarios could look like, and then he went out and made them happen. Because of his dedication, skill, and relentless approach, what could have been an incredibly stressful and overwhelming situation was made so much easier to handle. Most importantly, Patrick’s work protected my future and allowed me to move forward with my life and career, something I will always be grateful for. Patrick Seidel is not only an excellent lawyer, but also someone who goes above and beyond for his clients. I will forever be grateful for his work, his availability, and the outcomes he achieved for me. If you are ever in need of representation, I cannot recommend him highly enough."
