Silver Golub & Teitell partner Richard Silver was honored on the floor of the United States Senate on January 6, 2026, in a tribute that celebrated his extraordinary, six-decade legal career and his transformative impact on Connecticut’s legal landscape.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal praised Mr. Silver as a model of excellence in Connecticut's legal profession and as a national leader and champion for victims of wrongful harm and injustice.

“Rick's legal advocacy has changed the landscape of medical malpractice law in Connecticut,” Sen. Blumenthal said in his tribute. The senator singled out the 1976 case Katsetos v. Stamford Hospital as groundbreaking in the assessment of medical expert testimony, cementing a statewide standard of care, among other victories for his clients.

“Having recently celebrated his 90th birthday and more than six decades of remarkable public service, he shows no sign of slowing down,” Sen. Blumenthal told the U.S. Senate. “Now, as ever, the legal profession relies on him – as do countless clients seeking justice – for his dedication, courage, and skill. I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing and celebrating the remarkable career and work of Richard A. Silver.”
