What Kimmel & Silverman does

Kimmel & Silverman, P.C. is a privately held consumer protection law firm founded in 1991 and headquartered in Ambler, Pennsylvania. The firm represents individual consumers in litigation under federal statutes — primarily the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) — as well as state consumer protection, unfair trade practices, and lemon law/warranty claims. Practice areas span credit reporting errors, unwanted telemarketing calls and robocalls, data breach exposure, vehicle warranty disputes, and other deceptive trade practices, delivered through both individual case representation and class-action lawsuits.

The firm operates on a contingency fee basis: consumers receive free legal representation and attorney fees are paid by the opposing defendant upon successful resolution. Statutes such as the TCPA permit statutory damages of up to $500 per violation (up to $1,500 for willful violations) and fee-shifting, which makes contingency representation economically viable for both plaintiffs and the firm. Technical operational infrastructure is conventional for a professional services firm: client intake via a dedicated phone line (1-800-NOT-FAIR), online contact forms, and content marketing through the creditlaw.com and lemonlaw.com websites. No proprietary software platform, app, API, or AI/ML tooling is disclosed.

Kimmel & Silverman reports serving more than 100,000 consumers since 1991 and operates ten office locations across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York (Manhattan and Buffalo), Ohio, Texas, and California. The team comprises 15 consumer attorneys admitted in 22 states plus paralegal and administrative support. The firm is co-led by founding partners Craig Thor Kimmel and Robert M. Silverman and is self-described as one of the largest and most experienced consumer protection practices in the United States, with media features in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Kiplinger's, Consumer Reports, Good Morning America, and The CBS Early Show. Notable reported case outcomes include a $2 million class-action settlement in Burnett v. CallCore Media, a $450,000 TCPA settlement in Williams v. The Pisa Group, a $750,000 TCPA settlement in Giancristofaro v. Ima Pizza, and a $700,000 settlement in Kimble v. First American Home Warranty.
