History
Established in 2012.
When we founded Silverman Law Office, PLLC, in May of 2012, we wanted to change the typical attorney-client relationship, including the way clients are treated and assisted by their legal counsel. Our attorneys, paralegals, and office staff are committed to putting the client first in everything they do. When you meet us in our Helena or Bozeman office for an estate planning, real estate, business or tax law concern, you will immediately see the Silverman Law Office difference.
