Your Case
Is Our Priority
We know that every legal issue affects your life, finances, and peace of mind. Whether you need help recovering a security deposit or handling a lease break in Chicago and wider Cook County, navigating a K-1 Visa, or applying for a spouse or family-based green card , our team is here for you from start to finish. With years of experience and a client-focused approach, we provide strategic, compassionate, and results-driven legal support. Your goals guide our actions, and achieving the best outcome for you is our mission.
HOW DOES THE
CONSULTATION WORK?
Just call us. Mark Silverman will usually talk to you himself or call you back as soon as he can, for free, to discuss for at least 5 minutes, often longer. If it appears that there is something we can do to help, we will spend some more time determining what that is, and what that would cost - or at least an estimate. We take the time to review your situation, explain your legal options, and map out the next steps. Whether you are facing a security deposit or lease termination problem, need K-1 Visa representation, or are pursuing a spouse or family-based green card, we provide clear, practical guidance about what we can do, and what we probably cannot do, so you can make confident decisions. Getting the help you need is simple; just reach out, and we will chat a bit to find out if we can help, and we we are retained, we will guide you every step of the way.

I retained Mr. Siverman to help me with an eviction matter. Before doing that I spoke to multiple attorneys in the field. Mark's attention to details and knowledge of the law was unprecedented. His prices were extremely fair. His guidance allowed me to exit on most favorable terms.
Edgar Pal
Mark is a great attorney to work with. He is experienced and knowledgeable, and took the time to explain his thought process to me. His insights helped me evaluate my legal options and decide how I wanted to proceed. He responds to emails quickly, and he is also available to speak over the phone to discuss your case in more detail. His fees are also very reasonable, compared to other attorneys I contacted.
Ultimately, Mark was able to help me resolve my issue in the best way possible. I highly recommend him.

Mark was thorough, assuring and above all a superior communicator. My roommate and I reached a favorable settlement with our landlord in large part to Mark. He was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend Mark to anyone seeking representation in security deposit disputes.
