"Mr. Silva is a fantastic lawyer in the area of consumer protection. The foundation of his practice is customer service and client relations. When his clients have already been taken advantage of, great customer service and proper explanations of the process go a long way. On top of that, Mr. Silva is incredibly passionate about the rights of his clients. Whether they've been foreclosed, taken advantage of by a local or national business, or have drawn the short end of the stick in a business dealing, Mr. Silva does his all to make things right."

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.
