Hit and Run / Resist, Obstruct, Delay

Mr. Silva was straight forward right off the bat. He did not try to sugar coat anything. He's very polite and an excellent lawyer. Everything he would tell me would happen, happened. My wife bumped a car in the parking lot and didn't think there was damaged so she left. A bystander called the police.... The person whose car was hit did not press charges, however, NC did. A friend who is a lawyer in our hometown told us not to bring our car in, so I told the police I wouldn't bring it in. However, he could not represent us in NC, so I got charged with "resist, obstruct, delay". He was very honest with us and had a great personality. He got everything dropped and I would use him again in a heartbeat. We have recommended him to others and will continue to so. This is the first time both of us have had to get a lawyer or had any issues with the law and he made it very easy to follow and broke things down for us. He even went over our meeting time to discuss our questions/concerns which made us feel very special. Excellent Lawyer!!

Thank you for the great review. I know it took a while to get your case dismissed, but that is just the nature of things. I am glad that you and your wife are able to move on without any criminal convictions. In my legal opinion, you do not have an obligation to help law enforcement with an investigation. I think what you did is perfectly legal. If law enforcement wanted to see your car they should have gotten a search warrant. I think they were just being lazy and vindictive by charging you. Nevertheless, it was dismissed so I am happy with the outcome. Best of luck in all your future endeavors and thank you for referring people to me.

It's Complicated

Upon recommendation from a family friend, we went to see Matt Silva and he was everything she said he was; professional, attentive and extremely knowledgeable. He answered our questions, emails and always made the time to see us even when he had no time. My sons case was very complicated but Mr. Sil...va agreed to take it on. I'm not sure it was what he expected, but he stuck it out with us til the very end. Several things came up during our case, making it very difficult, but Mr. Silva never gave up on us nor my son. The outcome was more than we ever anticipated or expected, much to our favor. I can't thank Mr. Silva enough, nor can we ever thank his devoted staff, Melissa and all the girls. They were always very kind, encouraging and always knew what was going on with our sons case. They kept us informed every step of the way. I would highly recommend Matt Silva. He will definitely push and find a way to get you the best outcome possible. We would definitely use him again, indeed if he would have us! Thank you for everything.

Kim: I really enjoyed working with you and your son. Every now and then I get a case like your son's and it is both a blessing and a frustrating event. In this situation, it was a blessing because your son is a good boy with a bright future who did nothing wrong. It was frustrating because it took months for someone at the DA's Office to realize that your son had done nothing wrong. I really wish it could have been dismissed earlier just to save you all the stress and headache associated with this matter. Thank you for selecting my firm and if there is anything I can help with, please give us a call. Tell your son I wish him the very best in his future endeavors!

Expungement

Mr. Silva is a kind, honest, open minded individual that did not hesitate to sit down with me and see if my case could be won. He was patient and answered all of my questions and listed in detail what we needed to get done in order for the expungement to happen. He worked tirelessly with his staff a...nd the DA office until finally we had a court date. He was a professional when in court and presented the facts only, he did not sugarcoat anything. In the end with him as my lawyer I received the expungement that I have been waiting for.

Outstanding Service

Mr. Silva was able to win my case against a DWI charge, due to my situation it took a little bit of time, however, in the end, it was worth the wait.
