Matthew Silver

Competent and recognized, but communication was inconsistent

I hired Matthew Silver to assist with a complex family-based immigration petition for my spouse. His recognition in Immigration Law by Best Lawyers was a key factor in my decision, and his knowledge of the process, including the specific challenges of cross-border cases between the US and Canada, was evident. He successfully navigated the paperwork and legal requirements, which I appreciate. However, my experience was mixed. While the legal outcome was positive, there were noticeable delays in email responses, sometimes taking several business days for a reply. I also found that explanations of certain steps or potential delays were sometimes too brief, leaving me to seek clarification. For straightforward legal expertise, he is capable, but if you value frequent, proactive updates, you may need to manage your expectations. He is clearly knowledgeable, but the client service aspect felt just adequate for the level of recognition he holds.
