I am a real estate conveyancing and litigation attorney practicing in areas of personal injury, landlord/tenant, real estate - representing buyers, sellers and those seeking to refinance, OUI Defense, commercial and residential leases, corporate law and franchise law. My main focus is on Real Estate conveyancing and resolving complex title issues. Prior to establishing Silva Law, LLC, I served as an attorney at a unique north shore law firm focusing on real estate, title insurance, personal injury and probate litigation. Wherein I gained valuable experience in personal injury matters, including cases involving commercial property slip and falls, residential property liability, pedestrian accidents and dog bites.

Prior to that employment I served as In-House Counsel to a national fitness franchise company where I obtained valuable experiences in persuasive and effective advocacy. Today I use these skills to effectively coordinate the clients’ interests with strong advocacy and persuasive argument. I am available, responsive and tuned into my client’s needs. I pride myself on devoting my focus and complete attention to the matter at hand and will always aggressively pursue the client’s rights to a just result.

Attentive and Professional!
David helped us throughout the mortgage process, providing legal advice and attention to fine detail. Anyone going through the paperwork leading up to closing can and will know the arduous process. David made it stress free so we could enjoy the conclusion to our house buying experience.

Great attorney - 5 stars
Attorney Silva was a true advocate for my employment law situation. I was in a tough spot with my prior employer and was given David's name to help me with my case. He was knowledgeable, personable, honest, and to the point. I trusted him to speak on my behalf and had no doubts that he could argue my position and seek settlement out of court. He did exactly that. I am truly grateful that I had Attorney Silva on my side because he got me exactly what I wanted, plus some. Thank you Dave!

A unique case of LL Harssment
Atty Silva was very quick to answer my question that I posted. And more follow-up questions after the original. He was extremely flexible with setting up a phone consultation with me, as my case has strict time limit. I plan on hiring him to represent me @ mediation/trial.

the legality of a landord making accusations a time after vacating their apartment?
Mr. Silva was prompt when returning my phone call. He seemed truly sincere in my situation and gave me some really great advice. He also boosted my self esteem and helped to make me feel much more confident. I would highly recommend this attorney as, he seems true to his profession. I thank this attorney so much and truly appreciate his time and most excellent advice.

Amazing Attorney
David has assisted me on multiple property issues and is a pleasure to work with. He always kept me informed of what was going on, and was available day or night.

Phenomenal
I spoke with Attorney David, who offers free consultation. Even after I missed his call and feared I would not be able to reach him (or worse he would rush me off of the phone), I was able to speak to him in much more depth than I thought to be able to. He made me feel much more at ease and gave much needed clarity to my situation. Awesome person. I do wish I could retain his service.
