Victim Rights Attorney
Firm Owner

We fight for victims by prosecuting claims against sex offenders in civil courts.

We seek compensation, punitive damages, and other forms of relief for our clients.

 

Brian Silber is a passionate trial attorney with over 20 years of experience. He began his career in 2003 as a prosecutor at the Broward County State Attorney’s Office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He served in a special unit dedicated to fighting domestic violence and as a supervisor and lead felony prosecutor. In 2006, Mr. Silber left government and entered the private sector where he focused on criminal defense and civil asset forfeiture until dedicating himself to fighting for victim rights. He is a member of the Florida Bar and over 20 federal courts across the United States. 

Brian Silber, Attorney

Mr. Silber has successfully represented people from all walks of life, including judges, police officers, politicians, doctors, other lawyers, corporations, and hundreds of regular every-day people. He has handled many high-profile cases including those in the media and has been to trial over 100 times. 

Mr. Silber is also a Florida Supreme Court certified mediator and has tremendous experience helping people negotiate settlements without the need for court intervention.

After many years practicing on both sides of the criminal courtroom, Mr. Silber had occasion to represent a person who was the victim of a horrendous sexual assault. The experience was so utterly moving and so personally satisfying as the lawyer, that he decided to devote his law practice to fighting for victims. 

Fighting for people in crisis is something Mr. Silber has always thrived on and excelled at.

Now, his clients have the benefit of a seasoned prosecutor and a seasoned defense lawyer who truly knows the ins and outs of both sides – a skill and knowledge base that gives victims a great advantage. Not to mention, his knowledge and contacts in law enforcement have proven to be an invaluable resource for victims that wish to come forward and report what happened to them.

Legal Analyst

Mr. Silber is a natural on camera and has over 10 years of experience as a legal analyst on major news networks. He has appeared on Fox News, Court TV, CNN, Law & Crime, and others. Mr. Silber is regularly called on to offer insight and commentary on some of the most high-profile cases in the country. Mr. Silber is also an expert on Florida’s recount law and has served as a volunteer election lawyer for a number of judicial candidates facing recounts.

 

Pro-Bono Work

We Support Law Enforcement

Mr. Silber volunteers his time to the Broward County Police Benevolent Association where he provides pro-bono legal representation to members of law enforcement. Mr. Silber serves on call and is one of the PBA’s go to attorneys for critical incidents, especially those involving use of force or an in-custody death. He has successfully litigated Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law and was first to devise its use in defense of law enforcement. Its novel application to law enforcement was later upheld by the Florida Supreme Court and the 4th District Court of Appeals.

Personal Background

University of Miami

Mr. Silber is a native Floridian who was born and raised in South Florida. From a young age, he excelled at public speaking, reading and writing, logic, and the art of debate. He is a two-time graduate of the University of Miami where he earned his law degree (Juris Doctor) in 2002 and a Bachelor of Business Administration with a major in finance in 1999. Mr. Silber attended business school on an academic scholarship. He is also an alumnus (Class of 1995) of the Scheck Hillel Community School in North Miami Beach, Florida where he studied as a dual-curriculum yeshiva track student.

In 2000, while in law school, Mr. Silber worked as a Florida Supreme Court certified legal intern at the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office. As a legal intern, he served in the juvenile division where he participated in his very first trial – a sexual battery committed by one high school student on another. Before law school, Mr. Silber interned at Salomon Smith Barney while attending business school. During that internship, Salomon Smith Barney sponsored Mr. Silber for the SEC Series 7 exam (the Series 7 license is also known as the General Securities Representative license, which allows one to buy and sell securities). That license is now expired. After graduating from college in 1999, Mr. Silber worked as a skycap at Miami International Airport, where he proudly carried luggage for tips to pay for his law school textbooks and a laptop. 

Mr. Silber is an avid snowboarder, hiker, lover of the outdoors, animals, and nature.
