Excellent

Attorney Sylvestre helped me through a stressful case involving my company car and two serious motor vehicle charges. I was very worried I would be fired but she reassured me she would sort things out. In one court date she got both of my charges dropped. Couldn't be happier with her work.

Thorough and Competent

We consulted with Attorney Sylvestre for advice and guidance when our son was arrested. She was terrific! She took our calls personally and gave us the answers we needed, at the time we needed them. She was also careful to provide us with a thorough understanding of the laws and possibilities rele...vant to our son's situation, which was a tremendous help and also very calming. I will recommend her to friends for sure!

Attentive, kind, thorough attorney.

My family hired Malaina Sylvestre for a felony charge my brother was facing. From day one, Malaina was attentive, knowledgeable, honest and thoughtful. Not only did she get the best deal for my brother but she was there anytime he needed it. Attorney Sylvestre was always available to answer any ques...tions my family had and was thorough in handling all aspects of the case. Great attorney.

Malaina is incredibly personable and truly cares about her clients. She was always available to answer any questions I had and provided answers in a manner that I could understand. She worked hard to ensure a favorable outcome, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Malaina and will continue ...to reach out to her should I need her assistance going forward.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
