Best Lawyer

Mr. Silva helped me with my DUI in a very professional way. Keeping me in the know the whole time and letting me know my options in every situation. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer and a better turn out of the whole thing. I would recommend him for all violations.

Larry, you were a great client to have. I know it got a little nerve-racking toward the end, but todays dismissal was worth it! Thank you for being patient through this process. If you or a friend ever need help, please reach out to us!

absolutely outstanding Matthew Silva and his team!

During the beginning months of phase 1 of covid, I wrecked my vehicle one night traveling home from work, and I was charged with DWI and lane failure. I casually knew of Mr. Silva, and several other attorneys in the area, through my work. It turns out, he was one of the most recommended by people I... know. After my initial conversation with his team - who have been knowledgeable, articulate, courteous, and patient with my calls and questions from the start of this process - he listened to my case and accepted retainer to represent me. From our first meeting he clearly described to me the many factors of my situation, answered all the questions I had, and was realistic and candid in his suggested approach and strategies for my defense. I felt informed about the decisions I made, and trusted in the methods he chose defending me, and proceeded with my case fully in his care. I was updated regularly about progress and his offices would contact me any time there was a development that needed to be evaluated, to be certain of our proceedings. Through his experience, judgment, and execution, my charges were dismissed! My case may have continued longer or been more expensive than some would like, but I would say it was worth every day of continuance, and that I got far more than I paid for. If you must deal with this type of legal situation, I highly and actively recommend attorney Matthew Silva to represent you.

Thank you so much for the great review. I believe I know this case and I want you to know you were great to work with. I am sorry that it took so long to resolve, but sometimes I just have to wait for everything to align! I am glad everything is dismissed and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors!

DWI

Over three years ago I was arrested for speeding and DWI and feeling very low in life. I’ll never forget my first meeting with Matt Silva. I told him I wanted to get the charges dismissed and he was very upfront with me and said he could not guarantee it, but thought it was possible. Today after 3... years he did get the charges dropped and I am thrilled! Thank you so much Mr. Silva for your patience and professionalism. Thanks also to Chesney and the rest of his team who were so helpful during this process. I highly recommend Matt Silva to anyone who thinks they might need a lawyer in Eastern North Carolina.

Thank you very much for the positive review! I did four DWI dismissals today and all four of my clients were awesome to work with . . . so thank you for being one of them!

Mr. Silva's counsel was extremely professional, helpful, and knowledgeable throughout the deliberation of my case. I always felt confident stepping into the courtroom with Mr. Silva representing me because I knew he had my best interests in mind and would defend me to the utmost of his ability. I am ...extremely grateful for Mr. Silva's services and would highly recommend his counsel for any DUI/DWI and traffic cases.

DUI Dismissed!

Attorney Matt Silva came highly recommended as an expert DUI lawyer, and he did not disappoint. He, and his office staff, were extremely courteous, punctual and helpful with me. I would highly recommend Attorney Matt Silva to anyone, without hesitation.
