Gary Silow has achieved a reputation as an excellent litigator and a consummate gentleman within the legal community. He began practicing 29 years ago as an Assistant District Attorney in Montgomery County, and quickly received recognition for his tenacious prosecution in homicide, rape and major felony cases.

The rating was conferred after an exhaustive review of Gary's career and included factors such as integrity, good moral character legal ability, bench trial, jury trial or evidentiary hearing experience, and judicial temperament (patience, sense of fairness, and impartiality.)
In his private practice, Gary has fought for victims of crime as well, receiving statewide recognition for his successful pursuit of justice for the victims of convicted murderer, Caleb Fairley. He was honored by several appointments by the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of Montgomery County: In 2000, he was appointed as Chairman of the Board of Viewers of Montgomery County where he was responsible for conducting hearings over a period of 6 years involving cases of eminent domain.
