In 1987, the Dumbroff case resulted in record-setting settlement. Silberstein was a trial attorney for the Public Service Mutual Insurance Company and in a ten year time frame never lost a single case. Some of his great legal victories were: Gallo, Fusfeld, & Baez. These cases were great victories for the client, the firm and the New York Bar Association. Each set historical precedents. The New York Law Journal

suits against the city in December 1987. Reichenbaum & Silberstein, having settled a case for $2.6 million, was second of the five top firms listed. Silberstein graduated from Brooklyn Law in 1950 and was a trial lawyer for 50 years.
He also represented The Dental Society. In February 1967, Silberstein won one of the largest cases in Nassau history for one, Arthur Lebowitz, who was run down and left with two fractured legs. Silberstein said, “Lebowitz was once an avid skier who would never again be able to indulge in the social and athletic activities that composed a substantial part of his life prior to the accident.” The verdict was for 500K (an astronomical verdict for 1967) in damages to Mr. Lebowitz. http://www.ivysupersonic.com/oct24pr.html http://www.manishin.com/tree/reunion_reports/full_database_report/wc01/wc01_172.html http://www.ask4sam.net/silberstein.html
