Eddy Silverman

About

Recently selected to the 2023 Washington Rising Stars list, Eddy Silverman is a creative, zealous advocate who specializes in premises liability and personal injury defense for corporate retail clients, but defends cases of all kinds—including professional liability (malpractice) matters and transportation defense cases.

Eddy enjoys the strategic and tactical side of defending cases, and gameplanning with clients. He enjoys persuasive writing and arguing, and the theater of trial – all reasons why he serves as Co-Chair of the Associate Training Committee at Williams Kastner.

In addition to litigation, Eddy has a wealth of mediation/alternative dispute resolution experience, as both a mediator himself and as an advocate for clients.  He holds a Master’s Degree in Dispute Resolution from The Straus Institute at Pepperdine Law, which is routinely ranked as the #1 program in the United States by U.S. News and World Report.

Away from the office, some of the things Eddy enjoys are movies, music, and spending time with his family.
