Great lawyer with great knowledge

Attorney Sylvia has been helping me with all my cases. I have had great luck with him so far. He quickly responds to messages whether it is text, email, or calls. I highly recommend him.

Review of Attorney Sylvia

Upon my first meeting with Mr. Sylvia, he was able to absorb and understand years worth of past litigation. This was an enormous feat in and of itself. He was very thorough in his explanations to me so that I could understand the law. He made himself available, even after hours, to answer my many que...stions and sometimes just listened to me vent. He was very professional in his courtroom demeanor and with the other attorneys and judges. I would highly recommend Mr. Sylvia for any probate issues. He is fair yet assertive. Exactly how an attorney is expected to perform. I wish him well in his future as a very successful attorney!

Just in the Nick of time

I met attorney Nicholas Silva through the justice Bridge. No other attorney would take my case. Nicolas contacted me one week before I was due to go before a judge and thank goodness. He started on my case right away! Thanks to his knowledge and diligence, I never had to go in front of the judge as... he got the case dismissed! Saved me time and money. I would definitely be in touch if I ever need representation again.

When I thought there was no hope

Attorney Sylvia took on a 17 year old civil suit case for 90,000 dollars that I had received a default judgement on. Knowing it was gonna be a long shot attorney Sylvia still went in with confidence and determination. Not only did the judge set the judgement aside.. The other party who was suing me ...dismissed the case. I am so thankful with the work of attorney Sylvia as he has helped my life tremendously.
