Located in The Commerce Building on East University Avenue in Gainesville, Silverman and Mack LLC provides sophisticated, client-centered representation across Alachua, Levy, Gilchrist, Bradford, Union, and Baker counties. Established in 2006, the firm unites the talents of partner Stephanie Mack, who has held board certification in marital and family law by The Florida Bar since 2011, and partner Joshua Silverman, a seasoned litigator and former prosecutor. Clients who choose to hire an attorney from Silverman and Mack gain the combined strength of board-certified specialization and seasoned trial advocacy dedicated to achieving efficient, lasting solutions.

Board-Certified Marital and Family Law Solutions

Marital dissolution involves delicate personal relationships and intricate financial interests. Fewer than five percent of Florida attorneys achieve board certification, a status requiring rigorous examinations, demonstrated trial experience, and peer review. Partner Stephanie Mack brings this elite level of insight to every domestic relations case. Spouses who need a lawyer immediately for matrimonial matters receive attentive, individualized counsel across essential areas, including:

• Contested and uncontested divorce proceedings and complex marital property distribution
• Valuation and division of business interests, professional practices, and retirement assets
• Parental responsibility determinations and tailored timesharing schedules
• Establishment, modification, and enforcement of child support orders
• Alimony determinations, including bridge-the-gap, rehabilitative, and durational spousal support
• Drafting and defending prenuptial agreement contracts and postnuptial agreements
• Paternity actions, step-parent adoption proceedings, and domestic violence injunctions

Experienced Criminal Defense and Litigation

Facing criminal prosecution places your career, education, and reputation in serious jeopardy. Partner Joshua Silverman spent five years as a state prosecutor in Gainesville, handling cases ranging from domestic disputes and child abuse allegations to felony offenses. Drawing on this extensive prosecution insight, he anticipates law enforcement tactics and identifies evidentiary weaknesses. The firm defends university students and North Central Florida residents facing DUI offenses, drug charges, assault and battery allegations, theft crimes, and college disciplinary conduct hearings.

Constructive Family Mediation and Collaborative Resolution

While fully prepared to litigate in court when necessary, the attorneys at Silverman and Mack recognize that prolonged litigation can drain financial resources and heighten family tension. With a proven record of successful mediations, the firm guides couples toward amicable out-of-court settlements that keep private family matters out of the public record and protect children from emotional distress.

Recognized Excellence in North Central Florida

Both partners maintain deep roots in the Gainesville legal community. Joshua Silverman has served on the Executive Board of the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and as a Barrister in the James C. Adkins Jr. American Inns of Court, while Stephanie Mack remains widely recognized as a leader in Florida family jurisprudence. If you are preparing for a major family transition or facing criminal allegations and need to find a lawyer who will champion your cause with compassion and skill, contact Silverman and Mack LLC in Gainesville to schedule a confidential consultation.
