Best Lawyer Ever!!

From the first time we met with him to the last phone call today when case was resolved, we knew we were in good hands! We keep thanking our lucky stars that we found him and that he turned out to be so incredible. He was knowledgeable and skilled beyond our expectations, thorough, organized, patient..., intelligent, compassionate and brought to the table his years of experience that enabled us to make solid decisions as we went along. Judging from our "better than expected" outcome today we would, hands down, recommend Matt Silva for any legal needs, especially ones that carry the potential for charges resulting in severe penalties or jail. He is extremely well versed with the way the courts and prosecutors office works and that proved to be invaluable. We can't thank him enough...worth every penny spent!

Thank you so much for the review. I know that this was a horrible situation that could have resulted in a very different scenario. I am happy that we were able to work together to achieve the ultimate resolution. As I said, I didn't expect such an amazing result, but I will take it! I hope you and your family can move on. Thank you for picking us!

The Man, The Myth, The Silva

Mathew Vernon Silva is by far the best attorney to ever have on this planet. The man takes care of you. Makes sure you are understanding of the actions he is going to take before, during, and after everything is all said and done with. He is extremely professional. My experience with Mr. Silva as my... legal representative was outstanding. He broke down everything to me that I could understand. When we took trial he had me well prepared to everything the D.A. was going to try to use against me. We won the case and I busted out into tears. The man single handedly helped me salvage my life back into control and made sure my military career was saved with a honorable discharge. I EXTREMELY recommend his legal representation for DWI's and any other legal issues. He's a go getter and takes your matters very seriously and is flat out incredible. He is flat out a good dude and takes his job to new professional heights.

AMAZING LAWYER!

Matt literally saved my butt as my pen was hitting the paper! Having previously decided against a lawyer, having never had one before and being un educated, I thought that with how short of notice I was giving them that price would be out the roof. That being said, I decided to bite the bullet and t...ake whatever was coming my way (which would have resulted in outrageous points on my license, extreme increase in insurance and if I was not able to pay the 600$ in fees the day of- a suspended license. And all of this because I forgot to go to traffic school! I know Matt from him and his colleagues coming into my restaurant for lunch some days, so I was familiar with him and the type of work he does. I literally was about to sign my name for a payment plan of fees after my court date, HOPING I could get it paid off before my license revocation arrived. Matt pops up behind me, tells me not to sign it, we talk briefly, and he takes on my case. With a continuance (which also allowed me to gain the funds in whole), Matt got EVERYTHING taken care of. No points on my poor little license, no increase in insurance, no suspension (which would have increased my insurance AGAIN), and all my worries completely out the window. His secretary Melissa is awesome in answering questions and helping however she can and helped make this process painless. I would suggest Matt Silva to anyone looking for a lawyer in the area. He really did save my butt and made the process entirely painless. Thank you Matt!!!

Since you didn't use your name, neither will I. Thank you for the opportunity to help you out. I am glad we got your situation resolved and I am glad that I happened to be there before you signed your license away! If we can ever be of assistance, please do not hesitate to call! Sometimes, having an attorney is cheaper than handling a matter yourself! See you at the restaurant!
