The Only Lawyer You Need
My story is of domestic abuse/divorce. After my initial meeting with Leslie, I walked away feeling like a brand new woman. She provided me with a sense of power and the knowledge that she would be with me every step of the way. After a very stressful few years, my divorce was finalized. Not only is she very knowledgeable in her field, she is responsive, professional, empathetic and now a friend. I can't imagine looking for another attorney and have recently used her services to create a will.

Gives Lawyers a Good Name
Working with Leslie was a wonderful experience. Her professionalism, communication and legal knowledge/expertise were excellent. I felt completely confident leaving my matter in her hands and trusted her to keep me informed as needed. The process was quick and efficient, and outcome was favorable. In addition, Leslie takes a personal interest in her clients that is often unmatched by others in her profession. I would highly recommend her to others.

Everything you could want and/or need in a legal practice!
I have, and will continue to highly recommend Leslie Silva. I cannot thank the Silva Law Group enough for all that has been accomplished in my case. You asked questions when I didn't even realize I should, and fought on my, and my daughter's, behalf. I have always been kept well informed of the goings on of my case, and have every confidence that there is no better choice to handle my legal issues- both current and in the future.
