This dude is awesome
Mr.Silva is a fantastic legal representative. He struck the perfect balance of careful research and in depth planning while managing to work around my busy schedule. Meetings with Mr Silva were quick, to the point, and yielded amazing results at my DUI trial. Mr Silva and his associate came to trial extremely well prepared and delivered a powerful argument against the prosecutions case while fending off an array of accusations that the opposing attorney and police officer attempted to present as fact. Mr Silva was able to prove my innocence and helped me out of a difficult situation. He is an incredibly skilled lawyer, is very personable, and is very relaxed in his demeanor. It was truly a please having him represent me during this stressful time and I would recommend him for any legal situations that may arise. He is a very talented individual.

Outstanding professionalism
"Ive been working with Attorney Fernando Silva for a few months now and he has been nothing but professional, knowledgeable, and simply just awesome. The epitome of a textbook lawyer. My experience has been extremely informative about the DUI process, he followed up with me on a regular basis, and replies to my emails within minutes. Without him, I would of fell viticm to a absurd misdemeanor charge. I highly recommend him and his firm."

A representer of the people
I'm very pleased with the outcome of my case. I'm free like a bird hence this is how I'm writing this review but most importantly seeing my family and breathing the fresh air some of us take for granted. I give thanks to Mr.Silva and the Gowen group, I felt I was kept informed at any moment and time I chose and they all quickly responded to any question I had. I'm definetly staying out of trouble but if push comes to shove Mr.Silva is the man. Thanks for your work!

CANT WIN WITH HIM
After numerous attempts to contact him, this guy never responded back. After a couple months I fired him and hired an attorney who was willing to communicate with her client and actually investigated my case. Silva put absolutely no effort into my defense. Won't fair well with an attorney like him.
