Eddy Silverman

Eddy Silverman is a passionate and innovative advocate who specializes in defending corporate retail clients in premises liability and personal injury cases. His expertise extends to a wide range of matters, including professional liability (malpractice) cases and transportation defense.

Eddy enjoys the strategic and tactical aspects of defending cases and game planning with clients. He also enjoys persuasive writing and arguing, and the theater of trial—all reasons why he serves as 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.

Eddy’s excellence in the legal field has earned him recognition on the Washington Super Lawyers Rising Stars list in both 2023 and 2024.

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