Copps DiPaola Silverman, PLLC

Kathleen (Casey) Copps DiPaola represented me while I was kinship fostering and then adopted my niece and nephew. I truly felt like she took my concerns seriously and went to bat for me with DSS, pushing where necessary and yet, keeping on good terms with the attorney for the county and the law guardian. She was good with communication and honest about my chances of winning litigated guardianship. She also was my attorney in creating my will and a trust fund for my niece and nephew. I truly felt like she had my back. I would highly recommend her.

Lawyers are often lambasted for being non-responsive. Not this team. Lawyers are often stereotyped as being experts in billing and billing alone. Not this team. Copps DiPaola Silverman was/is responsive, up-front about cost, and really went to bat for me. I required representation for a family-related matter, and the outcome was even better than what I hoped for. Everything down to the word and penny was explained thoroughly. Kayla was my attorney and she was excellent. Professional but down to earth. Strongly recommended.

Jessica Phillips was very helpful in advising me on the potential implications of commingling assets after marriage. She helped me understand some important differences between separate and marital property, and ways to try to protect pre-marital assets moving forward in the event of a divorce. I always have a great experience working with Jessica and would highly recommend her!

Mr. J. Williams represented me in family court doing a kin gap guardianship. I must say that I had absolutely zero stress because Joe handled everything. The staff at the firm were excellent anytime I sent an email or a call. They promptly got back in touch with me. Would definitely recommend them.

Had set up an appointment for a custody case a few years ago. Paid a 300 consult fee and went to my appointment. Was told after that first appointment that I could not be taken as a client due to a conflict of interest as the attorney had represented my ex previously. When asked why it wasn’t flagged before the initial consult and if I could be refunded my 300 I was told that it was an oversight and no I would not receive a refund. I was told in a very rude and condescending way that there was a value to my consult and there was nothing I could do to receive a refund. I was out 300 dollars and lost valuable time. Zero stars!!

I cannot say enough good things about Copps DiPaola Silverman LLC. I was treated with kindness and respect with all of the staff there that I came into contact with. I hired Lorraine Silverman to handle a custody matter after the attorney I had been working with at another firm dismissed some of my concerns. I am SO glad I switched! Lorraine is PHENOMENAL. I know she is extremely busy, however she made it feel like my case was her #1 priority with the time and attention to detail she spent. She was responsive, thorough, compassionate, and didn't make me feel silly for asking questions. She really takes the time to listen and make sure you are heard. And seeing her in the court room....watch out! She is fierce in all the wonderful ways you would want from your attorney. During my time working with Lorraine, I had a support issue come up so I started working with Kayla Leder who handles that area of law. Kayla was also PHENOMENAL! Her attention to detail was superb, she was kind, and she was also looking out for my best interests. At one point she explained one of the options I had, but she was honest about the fact that would be the more expensive route. I appreciated that she was up front about that. In the end, both Lorraine and Kayla helped get me to where I wanted to be with my custody and support orders. I would HIGHLY recommend this firm!
