I am very fortunate to have found Mr Walter Silvester after a hassle month of looking for suitable lawyer to assist on the terms and conditions of our newly established website http://www.sportsntrain.com.
Walter listened to our requests and expectations too.
He gave us valuable feedback and input for our consideration and was able to complete the phases of terms & conditions in less than a month.
He also communicated with us after office hours and make changes prior to the launch of the website.
Great work for Walter and his team to be working with consistency and highly recommended his services for your future legal advise.
I had a matter for which I needed a letter of advice which would be presented to the authorities. I approached Silvester Legal LLC. Walter understood quickly what was needed and prepared the letter for me with the minimum of fuss and cost. If you are looking for someone who gets the job done, I would recommend Silvester Legal LLC without hesitation.
Walter helped me out with a potentially challenging employment dispute regarding a non-compete clause. He was responsive and his advise helped me to act with confidence in moving to my new job.
Silvester Legal LLC did a very thorough and professional job in helping us to roll out our Employee Stock Option Program (ESOP). The team provided guidance throughout the process and helped us to do it fuss-free and well within the target time. highly recommended for any companies thinking of an ESOP program for their employees.
