I have used Silvester Legal LLC for some time now for personal and corporate matters. They are very quick to respond and have assisted me ably and competently for some time now. A firm that you can rely on.
Our company has been using Silvester Legal. For disputes, preparation of agreements and employment matters. They are a one-stop law firm for disputes and company matters. Their service is professional and affordable. Definitely recommended company lawyers.
I approached Silvester Legal to assist with a potentially complicated matter involving a sizeable amount of money. They gave me practical advice and the matter was completed much quicker and for much less legal fees than I expected.
Professional, affordable and friendly legal service. Highly recommended.
I am very fortunate to have found Walter Silvester two years ago when sourcing for legal advice on a contractual dispute with a vendor. Since then, I have consulted him on several commercial & employment matters. The advices that Walter has given are always detailed and practical. He stands out in the legal profession for being knowledgeable, always putting his client’s interest at heart and going the extra mile for them. Highly recommended if you are looking for legal advice in the above areas.
