Joey Silberfein, Esq.

Senior Consultant

"I am a New Yorker and I get straight to the point — in a way that people can hear the advice. My clients tell me that I am easy to talk to and very supportive. I am always reachable and I truly enjoy challenging people to look out for their best interests."

Joey has been a senior law firm consultant and attorney coach for over a decade. After practicing law and helping run Proskauer Rose LLP’s litigation department for 13 years, she pivoted to firm-based professional development, then consulting. Today, she describes herself as an all-in-one advocate, motivator and coach.

With her extensive legal background, Joey understands the rewards — and the pressures — of a BigLaw career, as well as the challenges law firms face. Her particular interests include navigating career transitions, capitalizing on networking, nurturing attorney work-life balance and supporting professionals who are raising children.
