Mr. Silva is amazing!!!

My wife got a ticket for allegedly running a stop sign. Mr. Silva went to bat for us and got the ticket dismissed almost immediately!! He was friendly, courteous, and exuded professionalism and confidence! Mr. Silva was extremely easy to make contact with and was always approachable and available to ...us! If I should ever again need the services of a consummate legal professional, Mr. Silva will be my very first call!!!

Thank you so much for the review, Tim! I am very happy that the case was dismissed. It isn't everyday that I can get a ticket outright dismissed, but everything lined up! Thank you for choosing my firm to represent your wife. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Worth the cost

I never thought I would need a lawyer but it happened. After looking around I decided to consult with Mr. Silva and after my first meeting I knew I was in good hands. He layed out the plan at our first meeting and he stuck with it. He admitted at the initial consultation that he was expensive and ...even suggested other attorneys that could possibly get me the same results. I stuck with Mr. Silva and glad I did. After a year of continuances and stress we finally had our day in court and we got the best possible result. His experience was evident from the first day I highly recommend his services.

DWI Case

My experience with Mr. Silva has been very proffesional. We met to disccuss my options and he explained everything to me with all the possible outsomes so there were no surprises. Ultimitly my case was dissmissed and I couldn't be happier. I was always able to set up meetings and leave messages for M...r. Silva if I needed to. The communication I received was excellent. I would recommend him to everyone, great at his job!

Devon, I am thrilled that your case was finally dismissed. This was a long time coming and I wish they had seen the writing on the wall (or at least read the writing on the wall) months ago. I am glad we were able to get this handled by the deadline you provided. I hope that now this is behind you, your service to our great country can continue (by the way, thank you for your service). If you ever need any help, or know someone that does, please do not hesitate to call. I wish you the best in all your future ambitions.

This man saved me! A true God sent

It was the summer of 2016. And I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I was charged with 5 felonies. I went to jail and had a 250000$ bond. Mr Silva took my case and almost immediately got it lowered to 30000$. And I was out of jail within a week and a half. But that was just the beginning. Fr...om the first meeting at his office, he looked me in the eye and said, “your no criminal .” He said his main goal in my case was to keep me from becoming a convicted felon. He stayed true to his word. And over the next 2 and a half years, even when I had become one of his oldest cases, he kept fighting for me. I even had a car accident in that time frame and had to learn to walk again. The marine corps told me I was in no physical condition to re enlist. I clung to the hope and faith that mr Silva would resolve everything so I could continue federal employment someday like I wanted. On October 30, 2018 i was at the bank with my wife. I received a call, it was Mr Silva, he said ,”I got your charges dropped, you can continue life without this hanging over your head and make a better life for your family!” And believe me I will. I won’t waste this gift this man has given me and I will neve be able to repay him what his work meant to me. When he told me the news I literally said to him “I love you man!” and I truly do. He really cares about his clients and their situations. The law isnt always as cut and dry as it likes to seem. Sometimes you are just in the wrong place at the wrong time. And that doesn’t mean you should have your life ruined before you even hit your 21st bday. When I told my wife the news I began to sob. I was so happy and stunned because the thing that had been holding me back and had my future at a stand for the past 2 and a half years wasn’t looming over me anymore. I recommend Mr Silva and his firm to everyone In the UNIVERSE! Believe me from experience from working with him, you can’t go wrong when you obtain the services of Mr. Silva. He is a miracle worker. So it’s like the old ghostbusters theme song for when your in trouble, WHO YOU GONNA CALL!? MR. SILVA!!!!! :) Thankyou Sir.

Mr. H: I included the initial because you posted anonymously, but I remember your situation. I wish there was a means to get cases like yours handled quicker. As you know, your situation included life-altering charges. Really, the allegations were so serious that it took a lot of work to get the prosecution to admit what we already knew; you are not a criminal. I will never forget your case and I will probably reference it in many cases to come. Getting these charges dismissed was its own reward for me. I hated that you got charged and I hated what you had to endure. I sincerely hope you never have to go through anything like this again. As I have said before, I hope you and your family can move forward without the terrible stress of this situation on your shoulders. If you ever find someone in need of help, please tell them to call us. I wish nothing but the best for you and your family's future!
