Wow. Thank you for the great review! I don't think I have ever received a review before doing the work! You didn't use your name, so I won't either. I promise that we are going to put all our effort toward your case. I will also do my best to assist the prosecution of the man who started this whole scenario. I look forward to working with you!

Client's Best Interest First

Matt took me on as a client while I was facing a life ruining charge with optimism and encouragement. He even took time out of his weekend to meet with me. He explained my options and which routes were the most viable and advantageous for my case. No BS, he won't be the guy that just tells you what y...ou want to hear. Silva knows the courtroom like the back of his hand and has a great rapport with the court staff. He took me from one of the lowest points in my life and gave me a second chance. If you want an attorney who will FIGHT for the best deal he can, Matt Silva is your man. He saved my life.

Swift Justice, Highly Recommended!

I was charged with a high level misdemeanor and found Mr. Silva through a recommendation. What a recommendation it was! He immediately began working on my case and kept me up to date with the information that was found. He's extremely friendly and can break things down for those not so savvy with the... law. Not to mention dominating the trial and obtaining a not guilty verdict. Mr. Silva is definitely one of the best attorneys out there if not the best. Thanks again!

Colt: I am happy that situation was able to be resolved relatively quickly. I also really enjoyed the trial . . . I am not happy you had to be involved, but I really enjoyed how well you and the rest of the witnesses did on the stand. I hope you and your family can move forward in peace (without the aggravation that caused this whole mess!). Thank you for the review and remember if there is anything I or my firm can do for you, or someone you know, please call us! Best of luck in all your future endeavors!

Could not be happier

I contacted Mr. Silva shortly after I was arrested for a DUI. He promptly scheduled me for a free consultation and fit me in within a 2 days. This was my first arrest and I had no previous experience in talking to a lawyer or dealiing with the court system so I was pretty nervous. During my consultat...ion, he seemed to be very knowledgeable and explained everything that he would do to fight my case for me. He explained that he would begin reviewing the details and would pick out any little detail that he thought could help us dispute the officers findings and made sure that they followed procedure to a tee. After consulting with two other lawyers in Jacksonville, I decided that Mr. Silva was the best option. He was very open to any questions I had and didnt mind taking the time to explain anything that I did not understand. Since I had no prior experience in dealing with the court system, I put 100% faith in Mr. SIlva and let him come up with a strategy. I wont go into detail but he stuck to his plan and kept me informed along the way. Although the case took a while to resolve, the end result concluded with me not being convicted for the DUI and pleading guilty to a careless and wreckless citation which was only a small fine and court cost. I could not be more pleased with the outcome of my case. In addition to his excellent work, he also allowed me to pay him on a payment plan, which was abosoluty great as I am a student and could not afford to pay any attourney outright. While he may be a little more expensive than some other attourneys in the area, you get what you pay for and he delivered. I would not hesitate to hire him again should the occasion ever arise.

I am sorry it took so long for me to comment on the review . . . In any event, I am very happy with the outcome of your case. It was a tough situation and I know you had to appear in court a few times more than we had originally anticipated. Getting the DWI dismissed was totally worth it though. I hope you have a great career and if there is anything we can help with, please give us a call. Best of luck in all your endeavors!
