I have used Silverman Silverman and Selagman a couple of times, my cases were very complicated with 1 WC carrier taking it all the way to the Appellate court in NY. Both Ray Selagman and Jim Duffy had to learn alot about the trucking industry. There in-depth knowledge was commanding in the court room and in filing briefs lead to unanimous decisions in my favor both times. I would highly recommend the Silverman Law Group to anyone needing representation in any workman's comp or Social Security case.

I engaged the services of this law firm for a work injury from the medical field after many years of working in the nursing field. the injury happened during the beginnings of covid so all business was done through phone contact. the receptionist was extremely helpful guiding me through understanding the rythmns of nys comp. after 2 years attorney seligman assisted me with compensation hearings,obtaining s.s.disability and my eventual settlement. Ray worked for me and i am pleased with the outcome from a career ending injury. i would recommend this office,contact Miss amanda in the office she will assist you in getting what you need to assist yourself and set you up for legal assistance as there are rules comp is waiting for you to mess up on. Ray will guide you professionally and with sincere regard for your outcome.

I have been represented by Silverman, Silverman and Seligman for almost 20 years. I have moved between states three times and never once considered changing law firms. I have had several different attorneys from the firm represent me at different hearings and each one has done a fantastic job. They are professional, friendly and personable. Even after all these years the first attorney that represented me still remembers me and asks about my family. They have a great staff and terrific lawyers.

Thank you so much for the kind words. Connie was our office manager for a number of years until she passed away. Her daughter, Katie, has stepped in to fill her shoes. We like to think that everyone here in our office works as a team but more importantly that you, the claimant, are a major and significant part of that team. We can't always win them all but with everybody pulling in the same direction we can come damn close. Ray Seligman

I have been a client of Ray Seligman?s for 22 years and can not say enough good about him! He has guided me through many workman compensation hearing and Social Security Disability hearings. Thanks to his expert experience I was able to receive the benefits I required and finally a reasonable settlement. Ray always looks out for his clients. I would now hesitate to recommend him.

I have had a good experience with the law firm. The attorneys return your phone calls and speak with you directly. They do their best to answer your questions. I had a different law firm that I had to switch from after the firm stopped returning my calls.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
