Practice Areas
Business
Silis & Associates offer expert counsel
for a variety of business transactions, disputes, and litigation.
Our attorneys strive to become intimately familiar with
their clients' respective industries because they understand
that the best and most creative solutions often come from
a full appreciation of the relevant commercial context.
Our attorneys understand that commercial litigation disrupts
their client's business and can even interfere with their
personal life. Therefore, our attorneys make every effort
to minimize the disruptions that such litigation inevitably
entails.
Serious Personal Injury
An injured individual often suffers beyond
their physical injury. Medical bills, lost income, and the
prospect of future economic hardship can exacerbate the
pain caused by the physical injury. Especially when these
injuries have resulted from others' negligence, malpractice,
unsafe products, or are in any other way avoidable, these
individuals need legal support to obtain just compensation
for their pain and suffering.
Employment Matters
With a thorough understanding of the federal
and state laws governing the work environment, Silis &
Associates strives to ensure that all of their client's
rights are protected. Our firm recognizes the hardship entailed
when an employee experiences harassment, discrimination
and/or unfair termination in their workplace. By protecting
our client's rights, our attorneys work to ensure that an
unjust work environment does not perpetuate in the future.
Litigation
Aware of the immense expenses surrounding
litigation, Silis & Associates works creatively and
effectively to minimize litigation as much as possible.
In these cases, our attorneys work closely with opposing
counsel to avoid the expense, distraction, and risk of litigation
through such means as negotiation, mediation, and other
forms of alternative dispute resolution. However, when litigation
becomes the only viable solution, our attorneys work comfortably
and skillfully to ensure that the best results for our clients
are attained in the most cost-efficient manner. Our attorneys
have represented clients before judges, juries, administrative
agencies, mediators, and arbitrators. Their diverse litigation
experience enables Silis & Associates to advocate relentlessly
and successfully on behalf of their clients.
Estate Planning
The attorneys at Silis & Associates
recognize that for many, nothing can be more daunting than
thinking about end of life decisions. Hence, our attorneys
work carefully with clients to create and implement an estate
plan that reflects the individual's personal and financial
objectives. With the understanding that financial burdens
and legal disputes add weight to the burden of losing a
loved one, our attorneys work meticulously and effectively
to minimize the many difficult circumstances surrounding
a loved ones estate. In crafting an individual estate plan,
we take into consideration all of our client's goals, resources
and liabilities so as to develop a variety of creative approaches
to accomplishing the client's estate and family objectives.
Criminal Defense
In the unfortunate event our client
finds themselves charged with a crime, Silis & Associates
has the necessary experience in order to zealously advocate
on behalf of our client. Being charged with a crime jeopardizes
the individual's freedom, personal reputation, and professional
future. In this highly stressful situation, it is imperative
to seek the counsel of skilled and aggressive lawyers. Our
attorneys believe that no matter the accusation, every individual
deserves the right to quality representation. Accordingly,
they work tirelessly to ensure that the rights of their
clients are protected and that they do not receive an unjust
punishment.
