Misdemeanor Larceny Charge

Mr. Silva defended me in a Misdemeanor Larceny case involving Walmart. I refused to plead guilty to something I didn't do and he understood that. Once we were able to view the surveillance tapes in his office he assured me we had a good case. In court he asked all the right questions of the Loss Prot...ection associate from Walmart to create plenty of doubt about the validity of his charges. NOT GUILTY are the sweetest words I've ever heard. Thank you so very much for your belief in me!

My case 2-22-18

Matt went above and beyond for my case. It has been a tough year but every time I consulted with Matt I felt better in knowing he had my best interest in mind. He proved just that in the court room. Not only did he defend me in my case but he’s improving my record with an expungement.

Brittney: I know that this has been an overwhelming year for you. You did well during the trial and the truth came out. I am happy the case was dismissed and that you can move on with your life. I am even more happy that you will be able to go forward without anything on your record. I wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors!

Matthew Silva is an exceptional attorney. Case dismissed.

In 2015 the FBI raided my home, seized property, and charged me with 21 felonies that could have resulted in ten or more years of incarceration. Acting on a recommendation I hired Matthew Silva to handle my case. He worked patiently and methodically and listened to my concerns all along the way. M...y observation is that he is one of the most intelligent attorneys I have ever met and he has excellent instincts for knowing how to respond at different stages of the case. Silva got my CASE DISMISSED. If I had been convicted of even one of the felony charges my life would be much different for the worse than it is now. Silva saved me from some serious potential legal repercussions. You couldn't do better in the Jacksonville, NC area than to hire Silva to solve your legal issues.

I wish you the very best in all your future endeavors! If you ever need anything, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

He gave me my life back!

I found Mr. Silva to be one of the best attorneys I’ve ever hired- he kept me thoroughly informed throughout the process, made every attempt to get me the best deal possible and went out of his way to ensure that what he promised was followed through on, him and his staff constantly kept in contact a...nd reminded me of upcoming dates and appointments, and responded to my calls in an extremely timely manner. Mr. Silva more than met my expectations and his services resulted in my DWI charges being completely dropped within an reasonable amount of time. I would recommend him to anyone, without doubt, looking for an good attorney in the Onslow county area. Worth every cent of what I paid!

Best lawyer available! Mr. Silva will work and fight for clients!

Mr. Silva from the first time I talked to him was non judgmental and very open to discussing options and avenues he could take my case. I came in with a criminal assault charge thinking there was no way I could get away from trouble and he found a way to get my case dismissed! Mr. Silva, thank you, ...and to everyone else reading this know that hiring Mr Silva will get you the best chance for justice and a lawyer that will honestly care and fight for you!
