Determined

The firm is always professional & ready to inform you of every possible outcome your case could have from the most likely result to the most unlikely. You're never left in the dark, about any part of your case from your financial obligation to the outcome they expect for you. I would recommend this f...irm for your beginning through to your end result!

OUTSTANDING

Matt has handled both business and civil litigation for me over the years. His and his practice's expertise across disciplines is truly second to none. I would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone in search for not just an attorney, but the best attorney.

Peace of Mind

Entering a Courtroom can be a very scary experience, Mr. Silva stepped in an took that fear away from us. My son was faced with multiple DWI charges while having prior convictions of the same. Every understanding that we had surrounding the consequences of his charges all resulted in him having to se...rve significant time incarcerated. As a result of Mr. Silva's experience in both private practice and in the District Attorneys office he was able to navigate the judicial process for us and delivered a result far beyond our greatest expectations. Since that time Matt has handled a number of other family concerns of which we have always been pleased with the results. As a long time resident of Onslow County I cannot think of a better attorney that I could recommend, and I often do. He is definitely in my opinion one of the top if not the best legal minds in the State.

Best lawyer in NC

My son hired Mr. Silva, he was looking at a significant amount of mandatory prison time. Mr. Silva worked his magic and my son only recieved probation. When I walked out of the court room I was one happy mama. I highly recommend anyone in legal trouble to hire Mr. Silva, he will always have your best... interest.

Thank you very much for the review, Ms. Lucas. I am very, very happy that you son didn't have to spend any time in prison. I really enjoyed working with both you and your son. Thank you for your hard work as well! I know you had to attend many court dates and I believe that contributed to the successful outcome! Best of luck in all your endeavors and if you ever need something, please do not hesitate to give me a call.
